Much More Than Yogurt

After a thorough read of Gary Hirshberg’s book (and an enthralling 30-minute phone interview), I was so inspired by the author’s message that I had to pay it forward. On a crusade for change, Gary, the CE-Yo of Stonyfield Farm, lays it all on the table – from surprising misconceptions about reducing our eco footprint, to environmental principles and practices implemented in his own booming, organic yogurt business (complete with anecdotal trials and tribulations), to details on how you can make a difference, too. It’s a positive, approachable reference to sustainable growth that’s actually fun to read. For more information visit stonyfield.com/stirringitup.
