Organic Valley Family of Farms
The independent family farmer-members of the Organic Valley cooperative support the bovine rights movement of Cows Unite. Cows who work for Organic Valley farmers enjoy healthy organic food, fresh air and sunshine, and live free of antibiotics and artificial hormones. Organic Valley is an independent, cooperatively-owned organization which produces a full line of delicious organic milk and dairy, as well as eggs, soy milk, juice, and fruits and veggies.
Beyond Pesticides
Beyond Pesticides works with allies in protecting public health and the
environment to lead the transition to a world free of toxic pesticides. The
founders, who established Beyond Pesticides as a nonprofit membership organization
in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network,
local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry
pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns.
Bioneers
Founded in 1990, Bioneers is a nonprofit organization that promotes practical environmental solutions and innovative social strategies for restoring the Earth and communities. The annual Bioneers conference, held in October in San Rafael, CA, cultivates and disseminates environmental solutions to national and global audiences, educating, inspiring and equipping people toward effective action.
