e are deep into the changing of the fall colors here in Oregon, and they seem to be especially beautiful and vivid this year. Here at the Creamery, we like to honor our traditions and love that we've been able to keep many things the same (yogurt recipes, employees, etc). But at the same time, we think some change is both beneficial and refreshing. Our biggest recent change here at the Creamery is the launching of our brand new, beautifully updated Nancy’s website - please take a second to check it out here. Updated store lists, new product information and a colorful Creamery history page that is guaranteed to bring up a smile and a memory or two.

One benefit of things rarely changing at the Creamery is that once in a while people consider us heroes for our cultured, artisan longevity! It seems that Edible Portland readers have chosen Nancy's Yogurt/Springfield Creamery as a top "Artisan Producer" nominee for the magazine's Local Hero Awards. We're honored, and would love your support, so if you have a second, and you haven’t yet voted, vote for us here on page 4, we would be appreciative! You will see there are some amazing folks in our regional food community.

So whether you find yourself amidst some refreshing changes, or deep in the familiarity of tradition this holiday weekend, all of us here at the Creamery wish you and yours all the best! Eat well our friends!
