We decided to go check out Stonyfield Farm, to check out their organic dairy process. It was an exciting visit. They normally offer tours, but on the day we visited, plant tours were stopped during construction. We still had a great time in the Visitors’ Center.
On arrival, we walked around to see just what they had to offer. There were many indications this would be a moooooving experience. There were cold cases filled with product for sale, including their milks, yogurts, and ice creams. We were invited to sit at a table where there were games for the kids, an activity booklet, and an educational video. The video was quite interesting to the adults, and probably geared more toward the middle- and high-school crowd.
While we were at the table, the attendant brought out a tray of full-size products to sample. We knew they offered samples; but we were expecting tasting spoon sized samples. The King had discovered a yogurt flavor in the sale case that he wanted to try and they welcomed him to try any flavor in there. Between us, we sampled their yogurts, smoothies, baby smoothies, kids yogurt cups, kids yogurt tubes, and soy yogurt. We barely touched the offerings they provided. Our tummies thanked us for the delicious goodness.
Before we left, we picked out an additional sampling of the items that appealed. We had to limit our purchases somewhat, since we needed to eat them prior to our return home four days later.
It was a great visit, with fun, educational activities for babies to seniors. One day, I hope to return for the full tour.
Unfortunately, my camera card seems to have fried, and I cannot upload the pictures. Once they become available, I will add them to the post.
