In the past 12 months, Maple Ridge Farms (PPAI 114165, Gold) has been busy integrating the operations of Sweeter Cards into its Mosinee, Wisconsin, business. Sweeter Cards was acquired in 2024, marking the gourmet food company’s first acquisition in its more than 45-year history. While the new company remains in St. Louis, there has been some overlap in product offerings and sales efforts.

Also, in 2024, Maple Ridge Farms turned up as a PPAI favorite in two areas. Some of the company’s sweets sampled at The PPAI Expo in 2024 won the hearts of distributors on the show floor and the company was ranked No. 4 for social media in PPAI’s # Online18.
