Yeo Valley Organic Natural Live Smooth & Creamy Yogurt

Yeo Valley Organic is a leading brand in the British dairy sector, renowned for its commitment to organic farming and sustainability. Founded in 1994 by the Mead family at Holt Farm in Blagdon, North Somerset, the brand officially began when the family started producing yogurt using milk from their own dairy herd. The name 'Yeo' is derived from the nearby River Yeo, rooting the brand deeply in its local geography.

The manufacturing process remains concentrated in the West Country of England. Most of the yogurt production occurs at their dairies in Blagdon and Cannington. The brand prides itself on supporting a network of over 100 organic British family farms, ensuring that the milk used is sourced sustainably within the UK.

Ownership of the brand is unique; while the Mead family retains ownership of the Yeo Valley brand name and their farming operations through Yeo Valley Limited, the production and marketing of Yeo Valley yogurts and dairy products are managed under a long-term licensing agreement. In 2018, Arla Foods, a massive multinational dairy cooperative, acquired the license to produce, market, and distribute Yeo Valley's dairy products, though the brand remains independent in its farm-based heritage and values.
