     It's possible there is more than one Brown Cow yoghurt out there, 
but as far as I know, Brown Cow is not a Northern California brand.  It 
has been here in the Finger Lakes region of New York for in the 
neighborhood of 25 years (still being made in Newfield) from their brown 
cows (they keep Jerseys, I believe).  Got to stick up for home-grown!  I 
remember when the packaging was plain white containers with a label stuck 
on by hand; no colors, no pictures.
