Politics Down on the “Farm”

Stonyfield Farm is no stranger to political campaign stops. New Hampshire hosts the first presidential primary every four years, causing leading Democratic candidates to stop by while stumping for votes.

Governor Mark Warner—One of the first campaign stops of the 2008 presidential primary season in New Hampshire happened in February 2006, with Virginia’s former governor, Mark Warner, touring our yogurt plant and chatting it up with Stonyfield employees and CE’Yo Gary.

President Bill Clinton – During the 1992 presidential election, Clinton visited Stonyfield Farm on one of his early campaign stops.

Vice President Al Gore – As the Democratic candidate for president in 2000, Gore visited Stonyfield Farm often to speak with Gary Hirshberg.

Governor Howard Dean – Vermont Governor Howard Dean visited Stonyfield Farm very early in the 2004 primary campaign to take a tour of our Yogurt Works. In this photo, Governor Dean speaks with some employees in our processing room.

General Wesley Clark - Two weeks before the 2004 presidential primary, General Wesley Clark stopped by our office to talk about his stand on the issues. Here he enjoys Moo-la-la, which was a new product at that time. (Photo: Associated Press).
