Seattle-based dairy producer Darigold Inc. entered into a retail partnership with Grand Rapids, Mich.-based Meijer stores. Through the partnership, Darigold’s FIT Milk is now available in more than 265 Meijer retail stores across Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, and Wisconsin.
Through the partnership, the Darigold brand will be available in Meijer locations throughout the Midwest, including Darigold FIT Whole milk, 2%, and Chocolate. “All of Darigold’s products are made with milk from cows raised on family-owned farms across the Northwest – a region that is ideally suited to producing high-quality dairy,” said Dan Hofmeister, President of Darigold’s Business-to-Consumer division. “With production innovations like ultra-pasteurization and ultra-filtration, we are positioned well to deliver Darigold value-added milk products nationally. We are thrilled to partner with Meijer to introduce the Darigold brand to dairy lovers throughout the Midwest.”
A staple in the Northwest for more than 100 years, Darigold’s full portfolio of products is made with milk from Northwest Dairy Association member farms in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana, and processed into high-quality products in 11 production facilities across the same region. Darigold is nearing completion of a new production facility in Central Washington and is actively working to expand its business.
