Grass Fed Cows Promotes Health
The cows on the Hartzler farm are grass fed in the warmer months. Hartzler cows are fed pesticide free hay, grass, and silage grown on the farm during the snowy winter months. Grass fed cows produce healthier milk. Milk from grass fed cows is:
- Higher in vitamins
- Higher in Omega 3
- Higher levels of linoleic acid
- Higher levels of linoleic acid is proven to fight cancer
Hartzler does not use Artificial Hormones
Hartzler does not inject their cows with artificial hormones. The hormones that are usually injected into dairy cows are called BGH. This hormone is injected to enlarge the cow’s mammary glands and produce more milk. Hartzler cows are happier and healthier because they are not injected with artificial hormones.
Low Temperature Pasteurization Promotes Health
Low temperature pasteurization preserves enzymes that are crucial for digestion. Hartzler milk pasteurization maintains a high temperature to meet the FDA requirements and still maintain the healthy enzymes and nutrients for a healthy body.
Hartzler Milk is not Homogenized
Non-homogenized milk is healthy because it keeps the fat intact. Then the fat globules carry the important nutrients throughout the body. These nutrients include Vitamin A & D.

Hartzler Dairy Cares about the Environment
Hartzler sanitizes and reuses the one half gallon milk jugs. You get a $1.50 deposit back when you return the glass jug to the store. The quart jugs are not reused, but they are recycled. Hartzler believes that reusing and recycling helps our environment.

Healthy and Great Tasting
Hartzler milk is different. The cream goes to the top in the 2% and whole milk. Make sure to shake the jug to mix the cream into the milk. I like to take the cream from the top and put it in my coffee. This reminds me of my childhood. The delicious and healthy dairy products include:
- Milk
- Butter
- Chocolate Milk
- Egg Nog
- Ice Cream
The chocolate milk tastes like a chocolate milkshake. Once you try this, you will not buy any other chocolate milk. The eggnog is really good. The eggnog sells very quickly in the stores on the holidays. Get some while it lasts.
Hartzler dairy products are:
- Healthy
- Tasty
- Environmentally Conscientious
Please visit their website: http://www.hartzlerfamilydairy.com/ . The story of why Mr. Hartzler felt the need to change his way of farming is on the website. He stopped using pesticides and herbicides because he knew it was not healthy for people or the cows. The website has a link that goes into great detail about environment issues. There is also a link that tells you where you can buy Hartzler dairy products.
