Win a Walk on the Wild Side
Stonyfield Farm teams up with the National Outdoor Leadership School to offer eight lucky winners a week-long wilderness expedition
Londonderry, NH – February 21, 2007. Stonyfield Farm, the world’s leading organic yogurt maker, has teamed with the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS), the leader in wilderness education, to offer eight lucky winners a chance to walk on the wild side.
A week-long backpacking course in Wyoming, one of the most beautiful and fascinating wilderness destinations in the U.S., is the grand prize in this sweepstakes offered by Stonyfield Farm and NOLS.
