Last night we handed out yogurt samples at Jane’s Health Market in Benson (Omaha) during the Nebraska Food Cooperative pick-up time. This was our first opportunity to introduce Del Marie yogurt to people who don’t already love and support us.  Special thanks to Libby Broekemeier from the co-op who made it possible — we really appreciated the opportunity.

Highlights included:

• Our first samplers, two kids, coming back for refills three times. “It’s DELICIOUS,” they said.
• One man being strongly urged — or forced? — by his wife to try it and then actually liking the yogurt a lot. This gives us hope that Stephen Pedersen will someday learn to love yogurt. We’ll get you yet, Steve!
• A little girl finger-scooping then licking out the dregs from her sample cup, oblivious to all else.
• Ali, Brooke and Janna showing up to support us.
• Meeting a new crew of really amazing people who are committed to buying local food. They were willing, even happy, to listen to us go on (and on and on) about yogurt.

Someone recently said that there is no better feeling than letting someone taste your product and having them absolutely love it. We got to experience that last night and it’s so true! We’re definitely hooked on feeding people good food.
