I switched to organic milk the day that my daughter turned one and had her first glass (or sippy cup, rather). I made the change because I was concerned about went into her body as she would be drinking so much of it. Other parents are making the same choice and that is one of the leading factors as to why organic milk sales have seen double digit growth within the last year. Nielsen LabelTrends found that refrigerated milk sales increased 20.4% over a twelve month period ending in October, 2007. This was on top of a 32.3% increase the previous year.

Other reasons for the increased demand are attributed to the consumer's lack of confidence in food handling procedures due to recent recalls as well as the rising price of conventional milk closing the price gap and making organic milk more appealing. Have you made the switch to organic milk and dairy? What influenced your decision?
