Yeo Valley Organics

Yeo Valley's commitment to organic dairy farming and investment in environmental conservation has been rewarded with a second Queen's Award in five years.

Who they are

Yeo Valley has been producing yogurt since 1974. However, in 1993, Yeo Valley began producing organic yogurts with milk supplied by The Organic Milk Suppliers' Cooperative Ltd. Due to the success of this venture, they decided to create a company totally dedicated to organic produce. Thus, in 1996, The Yeo Valley Organic Company Ltd was formed.

What they do

Located on a dairy farm in Somerset, Yeo Valley produce a number of brand leaders: Organic Virtually Fat Free Fruited Yogurts; Organic Children's Yogurt; Organic Creme Fraiche; Organic Cream; Organic Fruit Compotes; Organic Butter and Organic Frozen Yogurts.

All the products are certified as being totally organic by the Soil Association and carry a seal of approval that guarantees the "Organicness" and integrity of the products.

Yeo Valley's commitment to organic dairy farming and investment in environmental conservation has been rewarded with a second Queen's Award in five years. Announced to coincide with the Queen's 80th birthday in 2006, the award for Sustainable Development recognises the company's continuing support for organic farming and farmers in the South West, as well as the company's efforts to minimise its impact on the environment.
