On this day, March 6, 1930 Clarence Birdseye's frozen foods were introduced to the market place! Springfield, MA was advertised as one of the test markets selected for his products. The Birdseye Frosted Foods were also available to the residents of Longmeadow, MA when they stopped in to make their purchase at the Thrift Stores, Inc. that was located at 10 Bliss Road!

It would be very interesting to learn how many Longmeadow families tried this new product in March of 1930 and what their reviews were. Today, the Birds Eye Frozen food products along with other frozen food brands are enjoyed by numerous families and we see them in grocery stores.
