Throughout the process of launching Del Marie Creamery, Daphne and I have been asked question after question starting with the “why” word:

Why yogurt?

Why dairy?

Why local?

Why grass-fed?

Why Del Marie?

And I’ll admit I have often been part of that crowd.

I not only love but need to retrace my steps to make sense of what is going on in my life.  And right now, there are a whole lot of those “What in the WORLD is happening” kinds of feelings (in a this-is-super-fun-ummmm-i-think-my-heart-just-stopped-please-save-me-no-really-this-is-great kind of way).

So, this seems like a good time to start answering those questions; to create a blue print of the how and why we got where we are today.  I can’t promise that these questions will be answered in order or in any cohesive manner whatsoever but I do promise that my version of the “why” will be … well, really it will just be my side of the story.

In short, and hopefully what will come through in this little series of thoughts and stories, Del Marie Creamery is:

• the most fun I’ve ever had
• freaking delicious
• super healthy
• half Daphne, half Annemarie
• the most terrifying thing I’ve ever done
• pretty damn cool
• from Omaha, NE (with love)
• made with milk from happy cows

Part 2 – coming soon.
