rom curling up with a hot chocolate to smothering an indulgent dessert in homemade custard, Christmas is a time to treat yourself. Make those treats the best they can be with organic milk. Not only does it taste great, but organic cows also enjoy even more time outdoors than free-range cows – in fact, guidelines mean they must be at pasture whenever weather permits. Tesco works with carefully selected organic-certified British farms. The cows are free to graze
on grass-rich pasture that is rooted in organic-certified soils free from pesticides – great news for the local wildlife.
