YORK, Pa. – Rutter’s Dairy has introduced fresh organic milk to their line-up of local milks. The new products are available in fat free, 1%, 2%, and whole varieties. Sold in the half gallon size, it is available in several grocery and fresh/organic focused retail outlets.

Rutter’s Organic Milk comes from local farms that are certified organic by Pennsylvania Certified Organic (PCO) in Eastern and Southcentral Pennsylvania and Northeastern Maryland. Rutter’s Organic Milk contains no GMOs, no synthetic or artificial growth hormones, no antibiotics, no synthetic or persistent pesticides and no synthetic fertilizers.

Rutter’s Fresh Organic Milk, like all Rutter’s milk, is pasteurized at standard pasteurization temperatures.  The Rutter’s Dairy team believes these lower temperatures, compared to those used in ultra-pasteurization, give Rutter’s Organic milk a great fresh taste.

Rutter’s Dairy has also created a new website specifically for the dairy. Customers can use the locator to search and view retail locations that sell Rutter’s Dairy products. The site also details the product portfolio, and provides DIY activities, recipes and educational information for consumers.

“We are excited to expand our product line to allow organic-focused shoppers to experience the quality of our brand with Rutter’s Fresh Organic Milk,” said Todd Rutter, president of Rutter’s Dairy.

With roots dating back to 1747, Rutter’s 269-year history makes it the oldest vertically integrated food company in the United States. Rutter’s has received awards for Best Milk for 14 years in a row by the York Newspaper Company. It is guided by the family’s third generation of leadership with Todd Rutter as president of Rutter’s Dairy, Scott Hartman as president and CEO of Rutter’s, and Tim Rutter as president of M&G Realty.
