Natural By Nature Dairy 
West Grove, PA
Natural Dairy Products Corporation was started in 1994 by Ned MacArthur and his father Norman. Ned had quit milking cows a year earlier because of low milk prices and the frustration that there was no system by which farmers could sell milk organically.
Ned and Norman teamed up with four organic dairy farmers in Lancaster County, PA and created a whole system in which grass-fed organic milk could be produced, transported, processed and packaged, independently of the huge, volume based milk industry. Strict adherence to organic principles and a dedication to high quality were the rules, which Ned, Norman and the farmers demanded of each other.
 Natural Dairy Products Corporation is the producer of Natural By Nature organic, grass-fed, and low temperature pasteurized dairy products. In this video, you can peek into the grazing lives of the cows on pasture and learn the history of the Natural By Nature Dairy Corporation. The happy herds roaming the local countryside represent the many family farms that work hard every day to feed us, and we remain so very thankful for the work ethic and stewardship practices of the farms that provide us with Natural By Nature's selection of dairy products, which score very well on Cornucopia Institute's illuminating Dairy Scorecard.

The 4th Annual Hemp History Week will be held the week of June 3-9.
It's time for Federal policy on industrial hemp to reflect today's reality and ensure a better tomorrow for America's families and farmers, the economy and our planet. Join natural products pioneers, leading retail stores, health and wellness advocates and citizens across the nation in celebrating Hemp: Our Heritage, Our Future. Visit the Hemp History website for a complete listing of information and events, as well as ways to Take Action legislatively.

Tell the FDA: Cut the Carrageenan!
Click here to tell the FDA to remove Carrageenan, a common food additive linked to digestive disease and cancer, from the food supply.
Carrageenan is found in many foods, even foods labeled natural and organic. It is widely used in dairy products, frozen products, dairy alternatives, prepared poultry and cold cuts, nutritional drinks, and infant formula. For decades, scientists have conducted experiments using carrageenan and have found higher rates of gastrointestinal inflammation, colitis-like disease, and even colon cancer. Like high fructose corn syrup innocently originates from corn, carrageenan is derived from seaweed, but food companies use a degraded form of carrageenan called poligeenan.

 In honor of National Dairy Month and our commitment to grass-fed products, our Food for Thought this month is a short video featuring Ned MacArthur, founder and farmer in chief at Natural By Nature Dairy, discussing the importance of pastured, grass-fed cows in the production of more nutritious milk. Natural by Nature uses low pasteurization methods to preserve nutrients and taste. In Ned's words, "Organic dairy and grazing go together like shoes and socks." We agree! Cheers to wholesome products from sustainable farms, the cornerstone of Harvest Market. |
