In a fresh red barn packaging, the new Stonyfield Farm’s Canadian organic yogurt includes new harvested flavours such as apple-blackberry and cranberry-raspberry, in a deliciously creamy newly blended formula to please Canadian taste buds. But there are more reasons to spoon it up: Stonyfield Farm’s Canadian line is made here with Canadian fresh organic whole milk, using nothing but organic, sun-ripened fruit, natural flavours and organic cane sugar.
Using the finest certified organic ingredients, Stonyfield Farm creates high-quality, nutritious organic yogurts. All products made in Canada are certified organic by Quality Assurance International and Quebec Vrai. Each serving of this wholesome yogurt contains a unique blend of five active cultures as well as inulin, a natural dietary prebiotic fibre derived from chicory root. Working together, these prebiotics and probiotics help build and replenish the intestinal microflora.
"About 75% of Canadians purchase organic products annually," says Gary Hirshberg, President & CE-Yo of Stonyfield Farm. "Organic products are embraced by more and more Canadians who are making healthier choices. They are making it clear they do not want artificial colours and flavours, pesticides and other synthetic ingredients in their food. Stonyfield offers a fresh, nutritious product for yogurt-lovers of all ages."
Healthy people, healthy planet: Stonyfield Farm, a yogurt on a mission
With seven cows and a homemade yogurt recipe, Stonyfield Farm was founded in New Hampshire in 1983, as a project to help revitalize the struggling New England dairy industry and support family farms. Their goal: to teach people that sustainable agriculture is a food system with a future. Now, 25 years later, Stonyfield Farm is the world’s leading organic yogurt manufacturer and the third- best-selling yogurt brand in the United States.
A prime example that going green can be synonymous with good business, Stonyfield Farm promotes the idea that profitability can be achieved with a conscience. "If we can’t prove we can make money saving the planet, then, we’re never going to save it," adds Hirshberg.
The company advocates that healthy food can only come from a healthy planet. They donate 10% of their profits to earth-friendly causes; were America's first manufacturer to offset 100% of its CO2 emissions from its facilities and recently installed the fifth-largest solar array in New England to help power its production plant
"We’re a yogurt on a mission, and I believe strongly that Stonyfield Farm’s environmental responsibility will appeal to like-minded Canadians." concludes Hirshberg, "The vision behind our brand will influence our actions in Canada as well".
Yobaby
Stonyfield Farm also comes in a version for toddlers named Yobaby. It is the first organic yogurt in Canada specifically formulated for infants 9 months and older. Made with organic whole milk enriched with vitamin D, Yobaby is available in apple-pear and banana flavours and contains delicious organic fruit puree rather than fruit pieces, making Yobaby easier for little ones to swallow.
Yobaby strives to provide one of the best fuel for growing bodies by creating its yogurt with whole milk that will help supply energy and absorb fat-soluble vitamins thanks to its higher fat content.

Prebiotics and probiotics: working as a team for a healthy digestive system!
When consumed together, prebiotics and probiotics can help foster the ideal environment for taking full advantage of friendly bacteria and maximizing the efficiency of the digestive system.
Prebiotics, such as inulin, are comprised of certain types of carbohydrates that arrive intact in the large intestine, without being digested and absorbed. Once there, they selectively nourish the beneficial bacteria present in the intestinal flora needed for a properly functioning digestive tract.
Our intestinal track has naturally occurring "good bacteria." Consuming probiotics helps us restore these bacteria, which are partly responsible for the proper functioning of the digestive system. Today, many dairy products are enriched with probiotics. When made a regular part of one’s diet, they can ensure that flora is constantly renewed and replaced and that the digestive system continues to function properly.
