Grantsburg, WI—Burnett Dairy Cooperative recently announced that it has acquired a 100 percent interest in Cady Creek Farms LLC, a retail deli cheese company located in Green Bay, WI, which was a 50:50 partnership between Burnett Dairy Cooperative and Dairy Deli Solutions.

The purchase will serve to provide a more integrated product portfolio of cheese products and go-to-market sales approach for the overall organization, Burnett Dairy Cooperative said in a news release.

Burnett Dairy will continue to provide employment to all of the employees of Cady Creek Farms and will maintain existing operations in Green Bay.

Cady Creek Farms was formed in 1998 as a partnership between Dale and Wendy Marcott of Cady Cheese Factory and Pete DeMars and John Landmeyer of Dairy Deli Solutions. In 2013, Burnett Dairy Cooperative acquired Cady Cheese Factory and, as a result of that acquisition, assumed a 50 percent ownership interest in Cady Creek Farms LLC.

“This strategic acquisition will allow our farmer-owned cooperative the ability to better serve our customers and marketplace with innovative products while continuing to provide the same wholesome, quality products our customers and consumers have come to know and trust,” said Dan Dowling, Burnett Dairy’s president and CEO.

“We will proudly continue to offer the Cady Creek Farms TM brand of products that are in retail deli today; furthermore, this will serve as a strategic expansion to the Burnett Dairy Cooperative family of brands including Burnett Dairy TM and Wood River Creamery TM found in the retail dairy and specialty cases,” Dowling added.

In addition to the Burnett Dairy and Wood River Creamery brands in retail, Burnett Dairy’s brands also include Fancy Brand in foodservice. Cady Cheese, LLC, is a division of Burnett Dairy Cooperative and is a longhorn and deli horn manufacturer located in Wilson, WI.
