"In conversations with parents, we kept hearing that they were dreading the stress of going back to school," said Jaclyn Cardin, vice president of integrated brand marketing, Organic Valley, said in a recent media release. The Organic Valley cooperative of more than 1,700 family farmers knows firsthand the value of family dinner time and wanted to step up to give parents a break, Cardin said.
