Connecting with animals has the power to lift our spirits and bring us joy. That’s why we’re going LIVE from a dairy farm to bring you up close and personal with dairy cows, baby calves, a few friendly horses, and some chickens too. Join us for Breakfast on the Farm...a FREE live behind-the-scenes look at a Vermont dairy farm on Sunday, March 21 at 9:30 a.m. EST. It’s sure to bring a smile to your face. While you enjoy your breakfast, the Miller Family will take you inside their family's 105-year-old organic dairy farm in Vernon, Vermont. You’ll see how the farm works to provide safe, nutritious, organic milk to Stonyfield Organic to be made into yogurt. The farm also sells up to 100 gallons of milk a day locally from their on-farm processing facility. When you sign up and attend the virtual tour we’ll enter you to win our grand prize of a year’s supply of Stonyfield Organic yogurt! Another 3 lucky winners who sign up and attend the tour will get a month's supply of yogurt, a Stonyfield Organic water bottle, and a stuffed plush cow. Just for signing up, 10 lucky registrants will be entered to win a Stonyfield Organic water bottle and stuffed plush cow. We can’t wait to introduce you to the Vermont farmers (and cows) that are dedicated to bringing local dairy products to your table. Contest rules apply. For rules visit: www.bit.ly/farmprizes
