Grass Fed Milk
Is probably not. How do they get the milk to eat the grass?
Like free range cheese, frolicking in the pasture, grass fed milk is the figment of some marketing intern's imagination. The fact is, the milk, which we use to make megamuffins, is the milk of grass fed cows. Do they really think we're going to believe that they feed grass to the milk?
How many vegans are in that vegan carrot cake, by the way?

:-) Cute.
I had my first ever taste of organic milk this morning -- so good! I hadn't thought I'd be able to taste a difference, but Stoneyfield Farms might just have a convert on their hands... (oh dear!)

Cows can digest grass more easily than they can the corn that's usually fed them at a typical farm. Corn diets make cows sick, which is why corn feed is usually supplemented with antibiotics. Grass-fed cows are happier, healthier cows.

Uh, Fubar, it was a joke. Get it? It's the *cows* who are fed grass, not the milk. Just like it's the *cows* who produce free range cheese who are free range, not the cheese. The milk doesn't eat grass, nor does the cheese frolick in the pasture. It's just a joke. Chill out. We only use organic, grass-fed, cage-free milk in our household.
Besides, it's way too much trouble to coax the milk out of the cage...
