I'm Gary Hirshberg. I'm the co-founder and Chairman of Stonyfield Farm, the world's largest organic yogurt company, started in 1983. It's the largest organic yogurt company on earth. I'm on many, many organic company boards. And I'm also the founder and chairman of something called Just Label It: Your Right to Know What's in your Food.
I'm the proud father of yogurt eaters. My former babies are now 26, 23, and 21. And I'm really proud to tell you that all of them are engaged in really cool social service and environmental service efforts. One helps find homes for over 50 year old homeless people. And another in an organic coconut water company. And another, my daughter, is working in all kinds of sustainability efforts with lots of companies.
We live in New Hampshire. And when I'm not doing all of this crazy activism, which is actually most of the time, I love to bike. I love to coach soccer. I love to play tennis. I find that physical activity is the best answer to the stress of trying to change the world.
