Nancy's (Springfield Creamery)

Nancy’s® Organic Cultured Soy is produced by an independent company, Springfield Creamery. They readily shared their sourcing information, but they do not buy directly from family farmers. Their soymilk supplier would not disclose the sourcing of their organic soybeans.

They write:

“Nancy’s Cultured Dairy and Soy products are produced with care at Springfield Creamery, in Eugene, Oregon. Founded in 1960, we remain family owned and operated and are pleased to have such a wealth of quality, local ingredients to put into each of our products. We are known for our top-quality cultured dairy products, but we believe Nancy’s Organic Cultured Soy is an exciting alternative for people who choose a non-dairy option. We purchase organic soy milk locally from Pacific Foods in Tualatin, Oregon. We strive to support organic farming and believe that the organic practices of these farms are in unity with the land, as well as with the consumer. We are proud to be a vital member of this sustainable partnership, while feeding people wholesome, organic dairy and soy products. To learn more visit us at: www.nancysyogurt.com.”
