Maple Ridge Farms (PPAI 114165, Gold), PPAI 100’s No. 69 supplier, and North Mallow have joined forces to create a food gifting experience at the Upper Midwest Association of Promotional Professionals Summer Golf Tournament, transforming a golf hole into what may be the sweetest stop on the course.

At North Mallow’s hole, golfers enjoyed handcrafted s’mores featuring North Mallow marshmallows and Maple Ridge Farms/Sweeter Cards’ dark chocolate sea salt caramel chocolate.

“The food gifting industry is strongest when we lift one another up,” says Jodie Schillinger, MAS, executive vice president of Maple Ridge Farms. “North Mallow and Maple Ridge Farms may offer different products, but we’re united by a common mission: helping companies create meaningful connections through food.

“Rather than competing for attention, we saw an opportunity to collaborate, have fun and demonstrate what’s possible when food gifting brands work together. This activation isn’t just about s’mores. It’s about elevating the entire category.”
