Happy Anniversary to the Vitamin Company
The Vitamin Company celebrates 20 years in downtown Brighton, and brings an herbal, fresh scent to the 400 block of West Main Street.
After 20 years in Brighton, the Vitamin Company is more vibrant than ever. With a friendly and knowledgeable staff, The Vitamin Company is a wonderful addition to the downtown shopping district.
Totally Townies solutes the Vitamin Company’s commitment to natural, farm fresh foods and appreciates their support of Calder Dairy Farms. We also appreciate that this milk is sold without any profit - it is sold "at cost." Milk in recyclable, old fashioned glass bottles is delivered every Wednesday to the store and sells out quickly.
We love real milk. Milk that comes from cows that are not treated with hormones and are free to eat, drink and graze freely makes for milk that we’re proud to purchase and are proud to pour from our own fridge. The Calder Dairy pasteurizes its milk, but does not homogenize it, leaving the cream on top, and the vitamins and nutrients throughout.

Homogenization was developed simply to give milk a balanced consistency, eliminating the need to shake milk before drinking. Milk in its natural form has a layer of cream that floats to the top. This cream is absolutely delicious, and gives milk a balanced, full-bodied taste.
In addition, this cream provides natural fat, which is essential for all people, especially children. Real, natural, fats provide the body with good cell, hormonal and brain function. Homogenization also changes the molecular structure of milk, which strips many of the nutrients from milk and prevents the delivery of important nutrients to the body.

The Calder Dairy was established in 1946 and began their work as a bottling facility for milk from local dairy farms, until a Brown Swiss Cow was purchased to keep the grass neat and tidy. Soon after, this bold new addition to the family farm had a calf, and today Calder Dairy milks 138 cows. All of their cows are fed a high quality, home-grown, forage and grain diet and enjoy life on the farm to the fullest.
Happy 20th anniversary to the Vitamin Company. You bring wellness, good cheer and a fresh, herbal scent to the 400 block of West Main Street. We appreciate the knowledge and wisdom you share with all who ask, and all who seek to enjoy your company.
