Where to buy hormone-free milk - Munich

I have a one year old baby and I am going to start feeding her normal whole milk. I am from the USA and I really want to be sure the milk I give her is not only BIO but also free of any hormones. (Used in the cows to help them produce more milk). I cannot figure out if the BIO brands of milk here are truly hormone free... in America you have to have two specific distinctions to make sure it is both Organic and hormone free. Any feedback?

Organic milk cannot contain additional hormones other than those produced by the cow herself.
The website waswiressen.de is supported by the German government and states the following:

As in non-organic farming, no antibiotics may be used to increase yield. Hormones and antibiotics may be used in organic and inorganic farming only as part of a vetinary treatment, i.e. to treat disease. In inorganic milk farming, hormones are permissable at insemination and to influence the time of birth (season synchronisation, embryo transfer).
This is however unusual due to the costs involved. And the milk from sick cows shouldn't come into the food chain.

While there is EU-wide organic labelling in place since the start of this year, many German organic groups have standards higher than the EU ones. Here's some of the groups to look out for: Demeter, Bioland, Biokreis, Naturland, GÄA, Ecoland, Ecovin and Biopark.

Whether giving cow's milk at all is wise, I'm not sure but am sure someone will advise on that one or have a chat to your doctor.

wow, that is the fastest and best reply I have ever seen. I question the cow milk issue too, should I be giving her Soy milk only? I have heard conflicting reports and information on that as well. I am a vegetarian (but do still eat eggs, cheese, and milk). Do you have thoughts on that.

The growth hormon rBST by Monsanto which also increases milk production isn't allowed in EU countries and many other countries.

I read that overall (natural) hormone levels are higher in cow milk nowadays as milk from pregnant cows is used as well.

Look for milk that is made to Demeter standards, like Berchtesgadener Land bio milk. All bio products made to this standard will have it written on their labels, as all bio is not to Demeter standards.

You can get Demeter milk at any organic store and even some regular grocery stores, like Edeka.
