The Bellwether Farms A2 Organic Whole Milk Yogurt is a 32-ounce tub of plain, organic, A2-protein whole milk yogurt at Costco. It lives in the refrigerated dairy section near the Perfect Bar Refrigerated Organic Protein Bars and other organic refrigerated staples. A2 means the milk comes from cows that produce only A2-type beta-casein protein — easier to digest for some people who feel bloated by regular cow's milk. If you've been hunting for a creamy, no-frills plain yogurt that doesn't upset your stomach, this is the one to try, and it pairs naturally with healthy mornings like a Sambazon Organic Acai Juice breakfast bowl.
Quick Take: Creamy, plain, organic whole milk yogurt with A2 protein — easier to digest and great for the whole family. Verdict: Buy. Scores: Taste ⅘ · Value ⅘ · Convenience 5/5 · Stockpile Score ⅗.
First impression
I bought this because I'd been noticing more A2 dairy options popping up at Costco, and figured a 32-oz tub was the cheapest way to test if it actually made a difference. Honestly? It does. The yogurt itself is thick, smooth, and almost custard-like — not as tart as Greek yogurt, more like an old-fashioned cultured cream.
There's no weird artificial aftertaste, no excessive sourness. My kids didn't blink when I subbed it into their breakfast yogurt bowl in place of the regular brand. That's the bar.
Price & value
The 32-ounce tub typically runs $8 to $11 at Costco, depending on your warehouse. That works out to roughly $0.25 to $0.35 per ounce, which is meaningfully cheaper than buying smaller A2-brand yogurts at Whole Foods or Sprouts (where 16-oz tubs of comparable A2 yogurt often run $6–$8). For organic, A2-protein, plain whole milk yogurt, this is a fair deal. The catch is shelf life — once opened, you've got about a week to use it up, so the value math depends on how often your family eats yogurt.
Taste, quality & how to eat it
The yogurt is rich and full-fat, with the kind of mouthfeel you get from a real European-style yogurt. It's plain, so the flavor is mildly tart, mildly sweet from the milk itself, no added flavors. It works as a base for so many things — that's the whole appeal of a good plain yogurt. The texture is thick enough to scoop without running, but not as dense as Greek yogurt. Somewhere between regular yogurt and a thick crème fraîche.
For use, the obvious move is a breakfast bowl: spoon yogurt into a bowl, add granola, fresh berries, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, done. Five minutes, very filling. It also makes a great base for smoothies — try it in a post-workout smoothie like this post workout smoothie for a protein-and-probiotic combo that actually keeps you full.
Other uses: stir into mashed potatoes for a tangy upgrade; spoon over warm pancakes like these air fryer pancake bites as a less-sugary alternative to syrup; mix with herbs and lemon for a quick dip; or use it in baking as a substitute for sour cream or buttermilk. Once you have a tub on hand, you'll find ways to use it.
What other shoppers are saying
Other Costco shoppers love that Bellwether Farms is a smaller, family-owned dairy in California, and the consistent feedback is that the yogurt tastes cleaner and richer than typical grocery-store plain yogurts. People specifically with A2-sensitivity report fewer stomach issues compared to regular dairy.
The most common complaint is the price — at $8–$11 a tub, it's more expensive than store-brand plain yogurt, even at Costco scale. A few shoppers also wish the tub were resealable rather than peel-back foil.
Who it's for & best uses
This is for anyone in your house who feels bloated by regular milk but isn't fully lactose intolerant — A2 is often the bridge. Also great for kids on whole-milk diets, anyone making homemade probiotic-rich recipes, and home bakers who want a higher-quality plain yogurt for substitutions. Skip if you need fat-free, if you're allergic to dairy entirely, or if your family doesn't go through yogurt fast.
A few simple uses worth trying: a morning yogurt-and-honey bowl with granola and fresh fruit; a savory yogurt sauce with cucumber and dill for grilled meats; or frozen yogurt bites for the kids — just scoop, freeze, and serve.

The scores
- Taste — ⅘. Rich, plain, clean dairy flavor. Loses a point because plain yogurt is by definition a base, not a star.
- Value — ⅘. Cheaper than other A2 yogurts; pricier than standard plain yogurt.
- Convenience — 5/5. Open, scoop, done. Pairs with everything.
- Stockpile Score — ⅗. Refrigerated and dated. Once opened, about a week of useful life. Not a true bulk-buy item.
Verdict: Buy
A solid Buy — especially if anyone in your house has digestive issues with regular dairy. The A2 protein really does seem to make a difference for some people, the texture is genuinely better than most grocery-store plain yogurts, and the Costco pricing makes it accessible. Not a Repeat-Buy if you're not committed to using a 32-oz tub within a week, but if you eat yogurt regularly, this earns a rotating spot in the fridge.
