Here’s all the “moos” that’s fit to print
The President’s Pasture We hosted several candidates here at Stonyfield Farm, giving our employees an opportunity to ask questions and make informed decisions. Here in NH we are fortunate to have an unparalleled opportunity to participate in the democratic process--and we take it seriously! According to the Center for Voting and Democracy, the U.S. has on average the lowest voter turnout in the world among mature democracies. During the last presidential election, the closest in history, only one half of the voting age population voted. Can our elected officials truly carry out the will of the people if almost half of them are not voting? No matter what your political persuasion, I urge you to get out and vote this year!
A Different Way of Doing Business? When we built our new cooler this past summer, an acre and a half
of wooded land behind the facility needed to be cleared to make
enough room for trucks to turnaround and park. To offset the clearing
and development that was necessary for us to grow, we made a donation
to the Society for
Protection of New Hampshire Forests (SPNHF) to help them purchase
several acres in another part of the state that they are trying
to protect from development. The funds will go toward the creation
of a buffer of land to protect the Yatsevich Forest. As in many
communities throughout the U.S., here in New Hampshire sprawl is
an enormous challenge. Our efforts to balance our growth while helping
to keep land open and undeveloped for wildlife, recreation and quality
of life is a small act. But just imagine the effect if more businesses
did the same….. “Who’s Who” Around the Farm

Considering
February is known for Valentine’s Day it seems appropriate
to introduce you all to a married couple within our ranks:
Erik & Lisa Drake. Erik Drake, Product Manager, and Lisa
Drake, Natural Resource Manager, joined our team 2 years ago.
Prior to coming to Stonyfield Farm, both worked and lived
in New Jersey; Erik for Johnson & Johnson and Lisa for
the State of New Jersey’s Office of Sustainable Business.
When they heard about two perfect job opportunities for them
at Stonyfield Farm, they jumped at the chance. Both had heard
Gary Hirshberg, our CEO, speak at a conference a few years
earlier and always had an interest in working for a values
oriented company like Stonyfield Farm. Today, Erik manages
several of our product lines and with suggestions from many
of you yogurt lovers out there, he helps to develop some of
our new products. As an environmental engineer, Lisa helps
Stonyfield Farm live its mission, working closely with our
Production and Operations teams to minimize our environmental
impacts.
