ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2011, GODDARD FARM PARTICIPATED IN A CUSTOMER SAMPLING AT THE COMMUNITY MERCANTILE (THE MERC) LOCATED AT 901 SOUTH IOWA, LAWRENCE, KANSAS 66044. "THE MERC" CARRIES OUR GOAT MILK AND YOGURT IN THEIR DAIRY SECTION AND STOCKS OUR CHEVRE, FETA AND MOZZARELLA IN THEIR CHEESE DEPARTMENT. THEY ALSO MAKE OUR CHEESES AVAILABLE TO CUSTOMERS IN THEIR DELI SECTION FOR SALADS.
======================
THE MERC STOCKS OUR PLAIN YOGURT IN THEIR DAIRY CASE AND THEIR DELI IN SINGLE SERVING 8 OUNCE AND 16 OUNCE SIZES. THIS CUSTOMER SAMPLING GAVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOWCASE OUR YOGURT AND TEST CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE OF OUR DRINKABLE YOGURT IN STRAWBERRY FLAVOR. OUR PLAIN YOGURT IS FLAVORED WITH FRESH STRAWBERRIES AND DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY SWEETNERS OR ARTIFICAL FLAVORS. 









OUR DRINKABLE STRAWBERRY YOGURT WAS A BIG HIT WITH ALL AGES OF SHOPPERS DURING OUR CUSTOMER SAMPLING AT THE MERC ON
