What makes our products so special?
Real food
We make our yogurt and other products from fine organic ingredients and nothing artificial ever—that means no artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners or preservatives.
Organic
Everything we make is certified organic. So our food isn't just real, it's also as pure, nutritious and delicious as it can be. Our organic ingredients are produced without the use of toxic, persistent pesticides, chemical fertilizers, synthetic hormones, antibiotics or genetically-modified organisms.
The superior taste and nutrition of organic foods come from rich, living, organic soils that are not treated with the chemicals that kill microbial soil life on non-organic farms. More about organic.
Helping the planet
When you buy our products, you help support numerous environmental efforts and green-business practices. We got our start as a nonprofit school that taught sustainable farming methods and then began making yogurt as a way to fund our teaching. We soon realized a successful yogurt company could give us more leverage to promote sustainability than our teaching could.
Today, our organic ingredient purchases keep more than 200,000 agricultural acres free of toxic, persistent pesticides and other chemicals known to contaminate food, soil, water and air. We're continuously developing and implementing new ways to shrink our carbon footprint and otherwise reduce our environmental impact. And we give $2 million annually to organic and other environmental efforts. More about our green efforts.
Supporting family farmers
Our organic business helps to keep thousands of family farmers in business and thriving. For example, the milk we use in our products comes from Organic Valley/CROPP, a dairy cooperative of over 1,300 family farmers throughout the US.
Family farms keep American food production from falling solely into the hands of a few big agribusinesses that may not treat animals humanely or the environment sustainably, and may value profits over human nutrition and food safety.
Yogurt on a mission
We got our start as a nonprofit school that taught sustainable farming methods. And ever since, we've been committed to healthy food, healthy people and a healthy planet. Our mission.
