Gary Hirshberg and the Real Organic Project Free Bonus Session Tonight!

For more information, please read the following newsletter from Linley Nixon, Ph.D and Dave Chapman, Co-Directors of Real Organic Project.

Dear Friend,

We will post a portion of our interview with Gary Hirshberg (co-founder of Stonyfield). It was a long, engaging interview, but tonight we will excerpt the parts where Gary describes his Northeast Organic Family Farm Partnership.

This is Gary’s brainchild to change the market for organic milk in New England. It is an attempt to recruit eaters to a consortium of small independent labels (like Butterworks, The Milkhouse, Sidehill, and Strafford Creamery) AND market giants like Organic Valley and Stonyfield. Conspicuously missing from that list is Horizon, Danone’s organic brand. Horizon is in the process of dropping 89 organic dairy farms from its producers. That is ALL of their supplier farms in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine, and a significant number from New York. Horizon will NOT be part of this coalition.

Come tonight and listen to what Gary has to say. This session is only 40 minutes long and is an entertaining conversation. Please ask your friends and community members to attend as well. This is a free event and anyone can watch regardless of if they have purchased a symposium ticket.
