Prairie Farms reveals 18 new ways to snack

EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. — Prairie Farms Dairy is launching 18 new ways to snack with the introduction of Small Batch Cream Cheese Spreads in 3.5-ounce cups and Small Batch Ice Cream pints.

From Sea Salt Caramel Cream Cheese Spread to Savannah Fudge Pie Ice Cream and everything between, they start the same way with 100% real milk and cream from local farm families.

The cream cheese spread and ice cream lineups include one-of-a-kind flavors within their respective categories, like Honey Vanilla and Sea Salt Caramel Cream Cheese Spreads and The Hill and Savannah Fudge Pie Ice Cream. A total of six cream cheese flavors and 12 ice cream flavors are included in the snacking launch.

“Launching 18 new snacking options is an extraordinary first for Prairie Farms. Our new products and flavors address the thriving snacking category, which has seen unprecedented growth — despite pandemic-driven changes in shopping and working routines,” said Rebecca Leinenbach, vice president of marketing and communications for Prairie Farms.

“Our cream cheese spreads and ice cream offer convenience, value and permission to indulge. The flavor variety makes personalized snacking easy for all family members. Equally important, however, Prairie Farms has been a tried and true comfort brand for over 80 years. Our farm-to-table values align with our customers’ expectations for quality, food safety and transparency.”

Prairie Farms Small Batch Cream Cheese Spreads are made with award-winning Neufchatel cheese. The 3.5-ounce right-size cups are available in six flavors: Garden Veggie, Honey Vanilla, Onion & Chive, Plain, Sea Salt Caramel and Strawberry.

Prairie Farms Small Batch Ice Cream is available in pint cartons in seven craveable classics: Belgian Chocolate, Black Walnut, Butter Pecan, Cookies ‘N Cream, Homemade Vanilla, Vanilla, Vanilla Bean; and five custom combos: Caramel Praline Pecan, Savannah Fudge Pie, Salted Caramel Toffee Brittle, Strawberry Shortcake and The Hill.
