From the Meadow To The Market
Gorts’ organic whole milk is non-homogenized, which means the fat globules are not broken down, but rise to the top to form cream. This is milk in its’ natural form, it’s smoother and has more flavor. Non-homogenized milk allows our bodies to easily absorb and utilize the vitamins and minerals in the milk ie: Vitamins A & D.
Our milk is right from the cow, to the bottle, to you, it does not sit on a shelf or in transit for weeks. No matter what kind of milk you buy, it will start to go bad at the same rate once opened and equally exposed to air, so why not buy fresh, local, grass-fed milk?
Gorts is 100% certified organic, and this starts with the cows, which are housed in a large, clean & comfortable barn and are free from antibiotics and synthetic hormones.
Our cows are grass-fed only, no feed or grain is used which can contain pesticides or other unwanted additives. Because our cows are grass-fed, their milk contains as much as 6 times CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) than grain-fed cows. CLA is an Omega 6 Fatty Acid, which helps in disease protection, and muscle growth. Grass-fed milk contains higher levels of Beta-carotene, Vitamin A, and Vitamin E.
Any ingredient or product used on our farm must meet the certified organic standards, from what spices are used down to our cleaning supplies.
Our milk is now available in Smorgasbord Country Kitchen and Heartland Foods in Kamloops; Natures Fare in, Vernon and Kamloops, Kelowna, and Choices, in Kelowna. Farmers Fruit and Produce in Winfield. Shuswap Health Foods and Askews Foods in Salmon Arm. It All Good and Natural in Blind Bay.
