The only farmers who I know of that use the artificial hormones are the large-scale farmers. Your small-time farmers still do things the old fashioned way. Some of them will even sell you raw milk as long as you pay cash.

Good news for smaller dairy operations.
@FLCONSUMER
Most dairy farmers are precluded by the organization they sell their milk to from separately selling milk to anyone else, so depending on the farmer that is probably a shady deal. Selling raw milk to consumers without license is also illegal in 25, and unwise in all others due to potential litigation should someone get sick from unpasteurized milk. Having said that I grew up on a small dairy farm and nothing is better than fresh milk.
Jeez, how could you forget Ben & Jerry's in that list of companies opposing (and not using) rBGH! They were the first place (uh, first container on which?) I'd ever heard about the issue, years ago and way before they were bought by Unilever (although their green policies have been continued).

Monsanto may be the most evil corporation on the face of this planet.
If you can think of a dangerous chemical, chances are they made it.
They created DDT and Agent Orange (hard to believe that both of those came from the same company.
Roundup and the Roundup ready soybean is another catastrophe. And they were involved in the Manhattan Project.
Nutra-Sweet....That's Monsanto too.
They polluted a river so bad that if you put a fish in it, its skin came off in under two minutes and it died.
Then Dubya appoints a former Monsanto exec to the EPA. Typical.
Monsanto's big thing now is GMO foods. It may prove to be the biggest environmental threat there is, possibly bigger than global warming.
As much as I can't stand Starbucks, I can't say that I hate them one millionth as much as I hate Monsanto.
@suburbancowboy: Monsanto also punched a baby and then bashed in my car's windshield with a crowbar while peeing on the holy grail.
I can't stand Starbucks, but good. I hope this starts a trend.

About Time.
Am I the only one who doesn't care if companies use rBGH/rbST?
Bravo, Starbucks!
Those evil Starbucks folks, putting chemical doping farmers out of business!
