Recommending Capretta Nonfat Goat Yogurt from Sierra Nevada Cheese Company. Creamy and really tasty--great, easy source of protein. Not marked organic or no BST, so I called the manufacturer and talked to a real person. It's a small artisan operation, with a solid sustainability policy that you can read about here: http://www.sierranevadacheese.com/green_farming.php

They source their goat milk 2 miles down the road from local dairy farmers Ed and Hailey Fumasi. I like to know where my food comes from! In my experience, "organic" is not always the best answer--knowing the farmer is. Sometimes local farms with good practices don't participate in the organic regulations process, and sometimes certified organic farms can have practices that I'm not crazy about.

Ideally I will visit them one day to confirm their information, but so far so good.
