I had a lot of fun today on a yogurt adventure. I was invited by my good friend Susie who was invited by the good folks at Whole Foods to come and tour the new store in Mill Valley which is set to open in a few days. After the tour we were going to tour a yogurt making operation in West Marin.
It turned out that the workers and staff were working frantically to get the store ready to open so we couldn't get in their way, but we were loaded on to a nice big bus, given a delicious whole foods lunch, a nice cotton bag full of goodies such as olive oil, chocolate, pasta and other stuff and were driven about 45 minutes to Sonoma County to visit St. Benoit Yogurt. It was really interesting and was out in the middle of the beautiful farms and rolling hills where so much of our cheese, milk and beef comes from. St. Benoit is a very small operation and each container of yogurt is made by hand. It's unique because they use all local, organic ingredients, it comes in a cool pottery jar, which keeps it fresh and can be returned after use to the company and they will reuse it. And it tasted divine. I tried the strawberry, lemon and plum flavors. It was a quite a delicious little field trip.
