BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Kleinpeter Farms Dairy has expanded its ice cream sales into north Louisiana, which will be followed in about a year by sales there of the dairy's milk.
President Jeff Kleinpeter said that by Tuesday 17 flavors of the company's ice cream will be in 600 new locations through its contract with Jones Distributing Co., of West Monroe, plus in some major chain grocers that Kleinpeter has access to.
Within the past two years, Kleinpeter Farms Dairy has increased its original Baton Rouge and New Orleans service area along the lengths of Interstates 10 and 12 as far west as Calcasieu Parish, and as far east as coastal Mississippi.
The company said the recent addition of an ice cream flavor called "Ruston Peach" inspired the move into north Louisiana.
