“We know that, given a choice, our consumers would choose to drink milk from un-cloned cows, and we at Clover will give them that choice,” Clover Stornetta president Marcus Benedetti told the Associated Press.
In the mid-1990s, the company became one of the first dairies in the country to take a stand against the use of synthetically engineered growth.
Clover Stornetta offers both organic and conventional milk from pastured cows, and has been recognized for both its milk quality and its humane treatment of animals.
