In February, 2003, Brown Cow Farm, a west coast-based manufacturer of super-premium all natural yogurts, joined the Stonyfield Farm family. This acquisition brings together two of the nation's leading natural yogurt producers.

Brown Cow and Stonyfield Farm share similar philosophies about producing delicious, healthy, all natural yogurts. We only use natural ingredients and milk from farmers who have pledged not to treat their cows with the artificial growth hormone, rBGH. We’re also committed to supporting family farms and environmental protection efforts. Together, we will continue to deliver premium products and serve our communities from coast to coast.

"Brown Cow is a national treasure and a much respected and revered natural brand," noted Stonyfield President and CEO Gary Hirshberg. "Steve Ford and his family have built a wonderful company in much the same way as Stonyfield by a maniacal devotion to superior quality and taste, and loyalty to family farmers and natural principles. We're thrilled and honored that the Fords have chosen us to carry on their legacy, and we look forward to continuing to expand the Brown Cow brand for decades to come."
