Stonyfield Farms started out as a farmstead biodynamic/organic yogurt producer and has now become one of the largest players in organic dairy. The majority of the company is owned by Groupe Danone, the mammoth French-owned dairy conglomerate. They now also carry a cultured soy product, O’Soy®.

While they participated in the scorecard project by filling out the survey, they refused to share the sourcing information of their organic soybeans. If you enjoy their products, we would encourage you to contact the company and ask them to share their sourcing with The Cornucopia Institute.
