Stonyfield Farms

What Stonyfield Farms does

Stonyfield Farms is a Londonderry, New Hampshire-based organic yogurt manufacturer founded in 1983, operating as a subsidiary of Lactalis Group following Fage's June 2024 acquisition. The company produces a full portfolio of USDA-certified organic yogurt products spanning three primary customer segments: babies 6+ months (YoBaby line with Omega-3 DHA and protein), children (pouches, tubes, smoothies, and the ZeroG zero-added-sugar range), and families/adults (Greek yogurt, probiotic smoothies, and large-format cups). All products are made with milk from pasture-raised cows (minimum 120 days on pasture) and feature BB-12 Bifidobacterium probiotic cultures licensed from Chr. Hansen / Novonesis Group.

The company's core technology is its organic dairy supply chain and probiotic formulation, supplemented by the OpenTEAM agricultural technology platform — a collaborative ecosystem Stonyfield helped seed that provides farmers with tools for soil carbon sequestration measurement and GHG emissions tracking. Stonyfield distributes nationally through major retailers including Target, Walmart, Whole Foods Market, and Sprouts Farmers Market, plus direct-to-consumer via the Stonyfield General Store e-commerce site. Revenue is generated through wholesale packaged-goods sales to grocery and natural food retailers under one-time purchase pricing, with limited public pricing disclosure beyond specific SKU examples (e.g., ZeroG Drinks at $5.99 per six-pack at Target).

Stonyfield operates a multi-channel go-to-market combining product-led growth, retail distribution, healthcare professional outreach (YoBaby Learning Hub targeting pediatricians), and industry event presence (Natural Products Expo West). The company holds B Corporation certification and is executing against a science-based target to reduce absolute scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 30% by 2030, with 100% renewable electricity achieved at its Londonderry manufacturing facility by 2025. Recent strategic moves include the ZeroG beverage expansion, CHEERCircle mono-material recyclable packaging, and a Verified Impact Units carbon insetting program with Organic Valley, UNFI, and Whole Foods Market.
