We’re a farmer-owned co-op. Have been since 1921.
We were founded on the belief of working together. Of looking out for one another.
That includes you. Today, it includes everyone.
So know that we’re doing everything we can to keep grocery shelves stocked and
your family’s plates full.
Our dairy farmers are rising early, caring for their cows. Their work ethic won’t tire.
Our plant workers, truck drivers and retail partners are working together to keep
food available to all.
From milking barns to your table, our farmers inspire us. Their dedication drives us.
But most of all, they remind us we’re responsible for each other. All of us.

I
the concept of the
#simplestory here on my editor’s note
back in January. You read, you com-
mented, you wrote, you shared with me
on Instagram. And now it’s time to start
sharing with you.
As I write this, it’s been eight weeks of
working from home and social distancing.
I mourn all the lives we’ve lost and grieve
for those who’ve been away from loved
ones, who’ve lost their jobs, who’ve had
to shut down businesses. I’ve been hold-
ing up all too well (guilt!) in my suburban
home with an office, and I’m grateful for
every second with my nontoddler daugh-
ters who can distance learn without my
help. I look forward to the time when we
all come back stronger—when we connect
with one another again in ways that are
emotionally satisfying.
As I read Paris’s #simplestory (at right),
I knew it would be among the first ones
I published. It’s relatable to anyone who
has ever been short-tempered and irri-
table. And it brings us around to the one
thing that is certain: Kindness wins.
Enjoy Paris’s #simplestory. And enjoy
the rest of this distantly produced issue,
which I assure you was assembled with
as much care and spirit as any other.
Whether you take your summer in the
sun, around a firepit, or at a cookout, I
hope we help you find the warmth and
have a healthy, joyful summer.
INTRODUCED
You can be standing next to some-
one, sharing the same space, yet
still not be paying attention to
their needs.
I struggled with a bit of social
anxiety yesterday, the complica-
tions of which can make seemingly
mundane tasks—like going to the
bank or choosing an envelope
size—feel insurmountable. I was
at the post office, torn between
two mailers, increasingly anxious
about negligible price differences,
when, to my horror, a gentleman
standing in line at the register
shouted at me gruffly, “Hey!”
I winced and nodded a “What’s
up?” Then he turned to the woman
behind the counter and said, “I’m
going to pay for that girl’s stuff.
I’m going to pay for your stuff!”
I was so surprised, standing
there with a mailer in each hand
and still undecided about pricing,
that I had nothing to say except
a very heartfelt and taken-aback
“Thank you.” As he walked out,
the woman at the register smiled
serenely and said what I had just
been thinking: “Now is the time
for you to do something nice for
someone else.”
It’s really that simple.
