I do buy their products and YUM! The butter tastes like....... butter! Sad to hear of thier demise.

If they did not label it organic I may have tried it

I don't think I've ever gone to the store and got butter in my life. I wouldn't even know where to find it. So sad I will probably never get to try their products now.

Sad, I buy their products -hope they can survive and retain their business model. Best of luck to all concerned.
