Though the number has declined slightly in the past few years, there are more than 37,468 dairy farms in the United States, 95 percent of which are family-owned-and-operated. That amounts to approximately 9.31 million dairy cows in the United States! Today’s dairy farmers strive to make their farms and communities sustainable for the future. Environmentally friendly efforts involve water conservation, waste management, protection of air quality, and reduced use of conventional pesticides. And now there is recyclable milk bottles.

Milk has always been considered Mother Nature’s most perfect, natural and nutritious food source. That’s why forward-thinking families like Arizona’s local Danzeisen Dairy are repositioning themselves to match consumer trends and tastes with not only standard white milk choices, but also flavored milk such as Chocolate, Strawberry, Arizona Orange, Root Beer, and Cold Brew Coffee milk.

Starting with National Dairy Month in June and every month throughout the year, support your local dairy farmers. The next time you’re in the dairy section of your local grocer, be sure to look for the Danzeisen Dairy glass, recyclable milk bottle. Save those bottles and return to the grocer to receive your $2.00 deposit or apply it to your next purchase of Danzeisen Dairy milk. If you’re in the neighborhood or looking for a fun outing, stop in at the Danzeisen Dairy Creamery at 6024 W. Southern Avenue in Laveen to pick up your milk directly from the creamery – the Danzeisen Dairy family welcomes you!

Many adults today think they can’t drink milk due to a lactose intolerance. At Danzeisen Dairy, we think our milk is so pure and fresh and bottled the old fashioned way, that you can drink our milk without experiencing discomfort.

So what is lactose intolerance? It’s different from a true milk allergy, which is triggered by the immune system, not our digestive system. Lactose intolerance is basically a discomfort that occurs when you drink more lactose than your body can absorb. All milk and dairy products contain natural (which is a key word here) milk sugar, which is called lactose.

Now, just to be clear, having a lactose intolerance is different from having milk allergies. If you are allergic to cow’s milk, that is triggered by your immune system and not the digestive system. Lactose intolerance occurs through the digestive process.

What’s interesting is that just 25 percent of people in the United States experience true lactose intolerance (according to the Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine). That leaves a whole lot of people who should be drinking milk but instead are avoiding it! Remember, our bodies need calcium and vitamin D throughout our entire life to stay healthy and strong, especially as we age.

We hear from so many of our customers that they thought they couldn’t drink milk due to being lactose intolerant or experiencing discomfort when they drank other brands of milk. Time after time they write to us and say that once they tried Danzeisen Dairy’s milk, they have not had any problems with discomfort or intolerance.

Now, unscientifically, we think it’s because we bottle our milk the old-fashioned way using equipment from the 30s, 40s and 50s, which leaves our milk fresh and pure not to mention that we put that fresh and pure milk into glass bottles. Glass bottles ensure that you are tasting nothing but the milk itself.

Don’t believe us? Pick up a bottle of Danzeisen Dairy milk the next time you’re at the grocery store or at the creamery and give it a taste. We think you’ll agree!
