WIN-It-Wednesday: Goodie Bag from Green Valley Organic Lactose-Free Dairy Products
Know how you meet new people and you like them immediately? You feel a connection. You know that you’re both on the same page. Care about the same things. And have the same likes, interests and shared missions?
Well, this is the way I felt about the folks from Green Valley Organics when I met them at a large trade show this past year. This woman owned and operated business had a team at their trade show booth that were passionate about what they do, the products they make and the commitment to their consumer. Consumers like you and me… on gluten-free and/or lactose-free diets.
The product? Lactose-free dairy products. Yes folks, REAL DAIRY products that are lactose-free. Creamy. Rich. Real honest to goodness dairy. Because of this passionate team at Green Valley Organics, everyone that is gluten/ lactose free can now peacefully enjoy… and love… top-notch dairy products.
No wonder Green Valley Organics tag line is “Peace. Love. Dairy.”
All the Green Valley Organic products are also gluten-free, soy-free, kosher and packed with their own proprietary blend of probiotics. I love that the products are certified humane and organic too.
Green Valley Organics makes a whole line of products including several varieties of yogurt in 6-ounce cups (Honey, Blueberry, Vanilla, Strawberry, Peach their newest flavor, and Plain) and a 24-ounce family size (Honey, Vanilla and Plain), Sour Cream (YES! Lactose Free Sour Cream! Helloooo Baked Potato) and Kefir (which comes in a Plain variety or the new and yummy Blueberry Pom Acai). My favorite yogurt flavor is the Strawberry… Creamy, rich and just sweet enough, I found myself scraping the sides and bottom of the cup for more. It was just that good. But honestly.. the lactose-free sour cream is to die for. The show stopper. It is rich, creamy – the real deal – but free of lactose. Perfect as a dip, or blended into sauces or soups. And with its Creme Fraiche sweetness, it is also perfect dolloped over fresh berries for breakfast or dessert.
This is why I was thrilled when I found out that this WIN-It-Wednesday on BeFreeforMe.com was going to be sponsored by the good folks over at Green Valley Organics.
And the prizes are awesome!
A total of FOUR (Yes…4!) BeFreeForMe members will be selected to win an Insulated eco-friendly tote bag filled with the Green Valley Organics Lactose Free product line of organic yogurts, kefirs and sour cream, a “Peace Love & Dairy” t-shirt and bumper sticker.

I love there fruit flavored lactose free kefir!
February 8th, 2012 at 6:47 am
I love the vanilla yogurt first and the sour cream second. Thanks Green Valley!
February 8th, 2012 at 8:59 am
Really looking forward to trying these yogurts The Strawberry, Vanilla, Peach and Blueberry flavors sound great and are favorites of my son but he has yet to really like any of the non-dairy alternatives available. I am also looking forward to trying the Sour Cream!
February 8th, 2012 at 9:59 am
Yum….organic AND lactose free — just what my daughter and I need! The flavor that sounds the most tantalizing to me is blueberry! Thanks.
February 8th, 2012 at 10:37 am
They all sound fabulous! I think strawberry would be my favorite and the sour cream!
February 8th, 2012 at 10:37 am
I’ve always wanted to try Kefir and with an assurance that it won’t hurt my tummy this Green Valley Organics product seems like the way to go!
February 8th, 2012 at 12:02 pm
Your products sound really great. It is not uncommon for those with a gluen intolerance to also suffer lactose intolerance. I would love to try your products and share with my family members who are Celiac as well as those at our local Celiac Support Group meetings. I also plan to attend meetings while I am here in Texas and share with them products we enjoy at home in Wisconsin.
February 8th, 2012 at 1:07 pm
Peach yogurt. Yum!
February 8th, 2012 at 3:32 pm
the Kefir Blueberry Pom Acai sounds yummy!
February 8th, 2012 at 6:05 pm
I would love the lactose free (and humane) sour cream! Yummy on a baked potato!!
February 8th, 2012 at 7:08 pm
All the flavors sound yummy. I like variety in my yogurts. And the sour cream is also a thing I use a lot in my cooking/meals.
February 8th, 2012 at 7:32 pm
I would like to try the blueberry flavor.
February 8th, 2012 at 7:43 pm
The sour cream and blueberry sound good to me.
February 8th, 2012 at 8:03 pm
I would like the organic Keifer. If it comes in plain, that would be my favorite.
February 8th, 2012 at 10:00 pm
So happy that Green Valley products are lactose free, a wonderful way to expand dietary repertory, since I’ve been lactose intolerant for several decades. (So, a good digestible source of calcium and protein as well.) I tend to vote for plain (occasionally use stevia and vanilla to flavor, or frozen berries) to flavor yogurt and kefir. Though your fruit flavors do sound delicious (for a small treat or special indulgence).
February 8th, 2012 at 10:16 pm
blueberry or vanilla yogurt sound good to me
February 9th, 2012 at 7:52 am
I would like to try the sour cream. I am coming to the sad conclusion that I may have to give up dairy in addition to gluten – and I really don’t want to.
February 9th, 2012 at 9:10 am
Lactose Free! YES! I’d be glad to try whatever flavor you have, now that I know you exist. Thank you for all your work to bring about such a wonderful product to those who eat organically and those of us who must eat gluten free and lactose free.
February 9th, 2012 at 10:10 am
The strawberry sounds delicious-and the fact that it is organic and relatively low in sugar is a big bonus!! I am both gluten and lactose sensitive and would love to try it!
February 9th, 2012 at 11:19 am
The strawberry flavor sounds really good to me, and to be lactose free…even better
February 9th, 2012 at 12:05 pm
The bluberry is my pick. Everytime I babysit my granddaughter we have either oatmeal or pancakes and we always add bluberries. I am also trying to go dairy free so I would love to try these products. Thanks for the giveaway!
February 9th, 2012 at 12:26 pm

February 9th, 2012 at 1:05 pm
LOVE Blueberry but the Honey sounds wonderful too!!! I would love to win and try them!!!
February 9th, 2012 at 4:02 pm
The wonderful quality of Green Valley yogurt is that it tastes wonderful. No one would guess that it is gluten-free or lactose free! It’s hard to find foods that meet those standards!
February 9th, 2012 at 4:11 pm
I love the Vanilla yogurt. Yummy!! 🙂
February 10th, 2012 at 8:17 am

All the fruit flavors sound good but the honey sounds awesome. So looking forward to giving them a try
February 13th, 2012 at 5:08 pm
Strawberry or peach would probably be my favorite, but I’ve never tried honey. Who knows? It could become my new favorite! I do enjoy kefir and sour cream, too!
February 13th, 2012 at 6:11 pm
I will look for blueberry – sounds good !
February 13th, 2012 at 11:59 pm
I love plain tangy yogurt with fresh fruit. Kefir would be a real treat too!

The sour cream sounds delicious as does the strawberry-I am so thrilled that there are so many more options now for the lactose challenged!!
February 15th, 2012 at 10:28 am
I think the vanilla would be very good with gluten free graham crackers or gingersnaps!
February 15th, 2012 at 11:40 am
YUM. There is no better yogurt than the Strawberry………………….or maybe the blueberry.
February 15th, 2012 at 1:57 pm

February 15th, 2012 at 4:23 pm

February 15th, 2012 at 9:08 pm
I am lactose intolerant and this sounds so yummy, I miss having my yougurt since coming down with this intolerance. I hate it. So I would like to try cherry, which is my favorite
February 15th, 2012 at 10:37 pm
I could use plain yogurt to make lactose free tzatziki.
February 16th, 2012 at 12:25 am
2nd entry 🙂
February 16th, 2012 at 2:01 am
My second chance…I’m still standing by my choice…peach yogurt..:S
February 16th, 2012 at 11:04 am
The peach flavor of yogurt sounds really good to me.
February 16th, 2012 at 12:17 pm
I would love for my daughter to try any flavor. She does not like any other dairy free yogurts and she used to love yogurt. This would be awesome. She would love the strawberry or peach.
February 16th, 2012 at 1:50 pm
I would love to win this so that I can try them!!
February 17th, 2012 at 2:53 am
The sour cream sounds SOOO good and so does the peach yogurt. I haven’t had either of those for MONTHS. I’m terrified of eating any lactose (even when I take those lactase pills) because I absolutely hate the horrible side effects.
February 17th, 2012 at 10:00 am
The family Vanilla yogurt would be tasty! 🙂
February 17th, 2012 at 2:54 pm
Oo, the strawberry or blueberry sounds yummy. I would try it all!
February 19th, 2012 at 12:02 am
Because its Grade A and florish with Green Valley Lactose Free a low fat yogurt with delious STRAWBERRYS hidden inside for a great taste.
February 19th, 2012 at 3:30 pm
Would love to see these at my local grocery would love to try them all.
February 21st, 2012 at 9:19 am
strawberry and blueberry sound the best to me although all of the other products sound very tasty too
February 21st, 2012 at 11:58 pm
To be honest, there is nothing like a perfect baked potato with this WONDERFUL sour cream!
February 23rd, 2012 at 3:31 pm
I would love to try the lactose free peach yogurt.
March 7th, 2012 at 1:15 pm
The sour cream sounds great, for people like me and others, can’t wait to try it.
March 12th, 2012 at 4:38 pm
I would love to try the blueberry, strawberry, Blueberry Pom Acai and peach. It is very hard to find dairy free and lactose free yogurt!
March 14th, 2012 at 4:56 pm
I have not ever tried your product, but am sure it is delicious and as just told as well as eating gluten free, I need to try to be dairy and lactose free as well. So am very excited to try your product, especially after all the great comments that were written above. Vanilla is my absolute favorite yogurt! Can be used for fruit dipping or just plain eating…so yummy! I can’t wait to try your yogurts and other products in the near future.
March 21st, 2012 at 5:49 pm
Kefir and vanilla yogurt
