Small Batch Nancy's Yogurt Bulks Up With New Organic Products For 2009

Pioneering Creamery grows cultured dairy line with new flavor and bulk size

Eugene, OR (March 5, 2009) - Now introducing new and delicious ways to get your probiotics in 2009� in bulk, and with blueberries! The folks at Springfield Creamery, makers of Nancy's Cultured Dairy and Soy products, have added a new flavor and a new size to their product line with the introduction of Nancy's Organic Lowfat Blueberry Kefir in both 8 oz. and 32 oz. sizes, and a new bulk size 64 oz. Nancy's Organic Whole Milk Yogurt. Given the fact that Springfield Creamery has recently been named '2009 Organic Handler of the Year' by Oregon Tilth, the new organic products come with an assurance of exemplary quality and care.

"Our goal is to get the most healthful products to the largest number of people, and the new additions help us do just that," said Sue Kesey, co-founder of the family-owned and operated Springfield Creamery. "The demand for organic products continues to grow at a time when folks are looking at ways to maximize their dollar. The 64 oz. Organic Whole Milk yogurt is an economical way to fill the demand, not to mention it offers more product in less packaging," explained Kesey. "As far as adding organic blueberry to our kefir line, that was a natural. Not only are the health benefits of antioxidant-rich blueberries a perfect match for our kefir, but we are fortunate to have some of the best organic berry farms in the country right here in the Northwest."

Long known as pioneers in probiotics, Springfield Creamery in Eugene, Oregon was the first U.S. creamery to add beneficial bacteria such as L.acidophilus to its yogurt almost 40 years ago - a move that forever changed the cultured dairy industry. In the same innovative spirit, the creamery began producing a cultured milk called kefir in 1975, and quickly built a loyal fan base impressed by the real fruit and creamy texture. Still committed to small batch production and doing things the old-fashioned way, all Nancy's dairy and soy products are free of cane sugars, colorings, additives or anything artificial.

Nancy's Organic Lowfat Blueberry Kefir joins a family of other organic fruit flavors -raspberry, strawberry, blackberry and peach - as well as organic unsweetened plain. The probiotic beverage is full of real organic fruits, lightly sweetened with organic agave nectar and available in 8 oz. and 32 oz. resealable sizes.

The 64 oz. Nancy's Organic Whole Milk Yogurt joins the Nancy's cultured dairy line in the bulk size, making the Organic Whole Milk Yogurt now available in 6 oz., 16 oz., 32 oz. and the new 64 oz. size. Nancy's Organic Whole Milk Yogurt is a rich, creamy and unsweetened whole milk yogurt that is, of course, true to the Nancy's tradition� packed with billions of live probiotics in every spoonful.
