Manheim, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/12/2019 -- Kreider Farms, Central Pennsylvania's favorite producer of farm fresh milk, ice cream, premium eggs, and more, is excited to announce that they will once again be a local host site for the World Vision Global 6K for Water on Saturday, May 4, 2019. The 6-kilometer distance run/walk steps off from 525 Indian Village Road, Manheim, PA 17545 at 9:00 a.m. EDT.

Following a wildly successful inaugural hosting year in 2018 that shattered fundraising goals and helped World Vision bring clean water to over 3,000 people in at-risk communities around the world, Kreider Farms was eager to help for a second year in 2019. Kreider Farms is dedicated to a mission that includes being responsible stewards of their land, being good neighbors and supporting good causes, which is what attracted company leadership to support World Vision.

"Our company's mission embraces giving back to our community and world, especially to those who don't have the basic necessities – like clean water – that we have in abundance here in Lancaster County," said Ron Kreider, President and CEO. "If we can lead others to give back, as well, it's even better. We hope to have hundreds of people again come out to walk and run with us on May 4th."

World Vision promises that each Global 6K for Water participant's $50 registration fee provides clean water for one person in need. The 6K distance number represents how far the average person in the developing world must walk for water, which is often contaminated, to sustain themselves and their families.

Manheim, PA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/06/2019 -- Kreider Farms, Pennsylvania's largest egg producer represented the American Egg Industry in a Congressional Humane Bond Caucus briefing on "The Humane Table" in Washington, DC.

The Congressional briefing held on November 16, 2018 brought together America's top farmers and food producers along with American Humane, the largest animal welfare certifier in the world, to discuss advances in humane agriculture. The briefing took place on Capitol Hill just before Thanksgiving, which has become a day when many Americans are thinking about how their food gets to their tables. Kreider Farms was invited by the American Humane Association to testify as a leading American Humane Certified egg producer.

"Like American Humane, Kreider Farms and Americas' family farmers know that animal welfare is truly in everyone's best interest," said Byron Shaffer, Quality Assurance Manager for Kreider Farms. "After the decision to build modern state-of-the-art cage-free layer houses in 2015 and subsequent construction, Kreider Farms has been a top rated American Humane-certified egg producer since 2016."

The Congressional Humane Bond Caucus was co-founded in 2015 by Congressmen Gus Bilirakis (R-FL) and Henry Cuellar (D-TX) with the stated objective of creating a more humane world for both animals and people.

Manheim, PA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/14/2018 -- Kreider Farms, Lancaster County's favorite producer of udderly delicious milk and bottled drinks, ice cream, premium eggs, and more, is excited to announce that its products will now be available at Giant Food Stores in Central Pennsylvania. This expansion comes as part of Kreider Farms' intentional growth strategy for its dairy business, which included a $5 million investment in generating new production capacity, completed in 2017.

"The commitment and the investments we have made into our dairy operation allow us bring the best and freshest local food products direct from our farm to consumers, which is why more and more customers are asking for our products every day," said President and CEO, Ron Kreider.

While Central PA farmers have been struggling with the recent "dairy crisis" in the Commonwealth and beyond, Kreider Farms has met the challenge of lower demand for fluid milk through smart diversification of their product line. This has gained the attention of influential grocery retailers like Giant, who are becoming more committed to selling local, farm-fresh products all the time through programs like PA Preferred, which helps facilitate partnerships between farmers and retail outlets.

Also attractive to Giant is Kreider Farms' commitment to local, sustainable production. "Our point of differentiation is the fact that we're a real local farm," said Dave Andrews, V.P. Sales & Marketing. "We're bringing authenticity back into the grocery store."

Find Lancaster County fresh Kreider Farms products in your local Giant now.
