December 1, 2025

Horizon Family Brands (Horizon), a leading provider of better-for-you food and beverage products, announced the acquisition of Maple Hill Creamery, America's original 100% grass-fed organic dairy company. 

This acquisition brings together two trusted names in organic dairy to expand Horizon's portfolio, strengthen its presence across retail channels, and reinforce its commitment to delivering high-quality, sustainable products to customers and consumers across the United States. Founded in 2009, Maple Hill is committed to using regenerative agriculture and was founded with a mission to create clean, 100% grass-fed organic dairy products.

"This acquisition represents an exciting step forward for Horizon as we continue to advance our strategic objectives and invest in better-for-you brands," said Tyler Holm, CEO of Horizon Family Brands. "Maple Hill's expertise in grass-fed organic dairy and impressive growth across customers and channels complement Horizon's capabilities and vision for the future. Together, we will be better positioned to serve our customers, support our farmers and suppliers, and drive innovation and growth in the organic dairy industry."

"Joining forces with Horizon is an incredible opportunity to amplify Maple Hill's mission and impact. This partnership is about more than growth. It's about shared values, supporting sustainable farming practices, and delivering the highest quality 100% grass-fed organic dairy products to consumers. We see this as a great opportunity to build a stronger future for the organic dairy space through the enhancement and growth of the Maple Hill grass-fed organic product offering,” said Jim Hau, president and CEO of Maple Hill Creamery.

Horizon and Maple Hill will ensure operational continuity for consumers, farmers, customers and other partners as Maple Hill is integrated into Horizon's portfolio. Leadership teams from both organizations are committed to retaining the strengths of both companies while unlocking new opportunities for shared success, including: 

  • Expanded reach: Increasing access to high-quality organic, and grass-fed organic products for customers and consumers nationwide.
  • Enhanced innovation: Combining resources and expertise to accelerate product development and drive new opportunities in organic dairy.
  • Stronger supply chains: Leveraging complementary capabilities to improve efficiency and resilience across operations.
  • Commitment to sustainability: Deepening support for sustainable farming practices and regenerative agriculture to benefit farmers, communities, and the environment.
