BATON ROUGE, La. — Baton Rouge, La.-based Kleinpeter Farms Dairy is packaging and distributing the milk of a one-time competitor whose dairy plant was destroyed by an explosion, with the first products from Smith Creamery set to hit supermarket shelves Tuesday.
Under the arrangement, Smith Creamery's milk, half and half, and heavy cream products will be sold at the 50 stores across southeastern Louisiana where they were stocked before the June explosion shuttered the facility. New stores also will be added.
The agreement between Kleinpeter and Mount Hermon-based Smith Creamery was announced Monday by members of both families, who have been friends for a decade.
