Stonyfield Farm Company Description
Stonyfield Farm is banking on choosy moms to spend a few cents more to save the planet -- or at least buy the company's natural yogurts and ice cream. Founded in 1983, Stonyfield Farm uses organic milk, keeps artificial ingredients out of its products, and places a value on environmental responsibility. And, for milk-averse customers, it offers a line of soy-based yogurts. A longtime leader among health-food store brands, its products are now distributed nationally through grocery chains. Its rapid growth caught the attention of Groupe Danone, which owns approximately 85% of Stonyfield Farm's stock. CEO Gary Hirshberg and other employees own the remaining shares.
