Westby Cooperative Creamery has received a Dairy Processor Grant from the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) for the purpose of expanding distribution of an innovative bagged-fresh-yogurt dispensing system to schools, colleges, hospitals, and other such institutions across Wisconsin. The initial focus will be community school districts.
This unique bagged-fresh-yogurt dispensing system was developed for user-creation of single-size, fresh yogurt parfaits. Westby Cooperative Creamery has been working in a close partnership with the developers of this innovative dispensing system, Perfect Parfait Holdings LLC, Frisco, Texas, on what is now a market-proven system in the breakfast and snack serving areas of major hospitality chains. Perfect Parfait has been awarded more than 25 patents on their fresh dispensing system in the USA and Europe, with several other countries currently in process.
Says Russ Vulpitta, CEO of Perfect Parfait: “We could not have chosen a better partner for this new business venture than Westby Cooperative Creamery. Their history of award-winning, farm-fresh quality in cultured dairy foods production, along with their entrepreneurial spirit as a farmer-owned cooperative, and their daily can-do/will-do attitude of cooperation; makes us proud to call this Wisconsin dairy cooperative our valued partner. Together, over the past few years, we have proven the performance of this bagged-fresh-yogurt dispensing system in the hospitality/lodging industry; and are ready to expand into new markets.”
