Straus Family Creamery supports proposition 37 and said so on their packaging.
Their organic yogurt is beyond creamy - the best yogurt I've ever had. Also their organic coffee ice cream at the top of my list with way fewer and much healthier ingredients than Ben & Jerry's.
Another brand I like is Organic Valley who supports regional dairy farmers (1617 farmers). Organic Valley made plans to shield livestock and feed from Japanese radiation exposure from Fukushima.

My favorite desert is to freeze some fruit - partially defrost it and then cover it with Organic Valley vanilla half and half.
