Old Home Foods seeks new manufacturer for cottage cheese after ending Kemps agreement

Old Home Foods is looking for a new manufacturer for its cottage cheese after ending a co-packing agreement with Kemps earlier this year. The company has settled a lawsuit against Kemps over early termination of the contract. The settlement's terms are confidential, but Old Home sought at least $50,000 in damages. Kemps stopped production of Old Home products in January, five months before the agreement's end. While Old Home has found new manufacturers for sour cream and chip dips, cottage cheese production remains a challenge. The company has secured a limited supply but faces a cottage cheese capacity shortage in 2025.
