Key Differentiators
What Makes Our Products Unique
-
Regenerative farming practices
Alexandre Family Farm is the first dairy farm in the United States to be certified Regenerative Organic. This means that we use farming practices that have been proven by third-party certifiers to: improve soil health, water quality, and biodiversity.
Regenerative farming is a holistic approach to farming that goes beyond organic practices to improve the health of the soil, water, air, and biodiversity. This can lead to a number of benefits for human health, the environment, and the economy.
-
Grass-fed Cows
Alexandre Family Farm dairy comes from grass-fed cows, which means they eat a diet of grass and hay. This is in contrast to many other dairy farms that feed a diet that primarily consists of grain.
Grass-fed cows are healthier than grain-fed cows. They have lower levels of fat and cholesterol, and they are more resistant to disease. Grass-fed milk is also higher in omega-3 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which have a number of health benefits.
-
Certified Organic - No pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers
Alexandre Family Farm milk is certified organic, which means it is produced without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. Such chemicals can have harmful effects on human health, the environment, and the cows.
Organic milk is also higher in nutrients than non-organic milk.
-
100% A2/A2 Dairy
Alexandre Family Farm cows only produce A2 beta-casein protein. From some people, this protein is easier to digest than the A1 beta-casein protein that is common in most milk produced in America.
-
Certified Humane
Alexandre Family Farm is certified humane and uses compassionate animal health practices. We love our animals and treat them with the utmost care and respect.
"Certified humane" means we meet the strict standards for animal welfare set by Certified Humane, a certification that guarantees that animals are raised in humane conditions. The standards for Certified Humane dairy production are very strict, and they ensure that cows have access to fresh water, shelter, and plenty of space to graze.
The Certified Humane Raised & Handled seal ensures that farmers comply with specific high standards for their animals in areas of food, environment, management, healthcare, handling, and transportation. The standards are upheld through annual inspections conducted by scientists and veterinarians who are experts on the species they are inspecting. These are third-party independent inspections of all farms, ranches, and slaughter and processing facilities.
-
