Awards
Long before green became the new black, we were already on our never-ending quest to further green our business. And for just as long, we’ve been committed to healthy food and healthy people. All of which has tended, over the years, to win us, now and again, a bit of recognition.
We don’t like to brag. Not any more than the next yogurt maker. But just in case you need to know this stuff, here are some of our awards and firsts.
