ORRVILLE, Ohio — Smith Dairy Products Company, the leading regional maker of dairy products, beverages and ice cream, today announced that its seasonal favorite, Ruggles Premium Ice Cream flavor: Pumpkin Pie, is now available in grocers’ freezers throughout the region.

“We always look forward to the autumn appearance of our Ruggles Pumpkin Pie ice cream as the kickoff of our holiday flavor season,” said Penny Baker, Director of Marketing for Ruggles. “Our consumers enjoy our Pumpkin Pie flavor throughout the fall season, and shortly after that, our winter holiday flavors are available.
