  • Stonyfield Farm

    It might be helpful to know a bit of history.  Stonyfield Farm yogurt works was started on a small hillside farm in Wilton NH more than 20 years ago.  It was created as a way to financially support the non-profit Rural Eduation Center (I was a member of the Board).  Gary Hirschberg, despite what anyone who doesn't know him may think, has a deep philosophical commitment to organic agriculture, family farms and environmental sustainability.  No doubt, he and his company can't always make all the right decisions at every point in time, but the two decade history of Stonyfield is about as admirable as you can get in this complex world.

    Let's not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.  Stonyfield has made a difference, and will continue to do so.  Constructive criticism is never bad however.On Thoughts on the NODPA/Stonyfield debate over organic dairy posted 1 year, 8 months ago 13 Responses
