Today, Hood is one of the largest branded dairy operators in the United States. In 2004, HP Hood became HP Hood LLC when it acquired Binghamton, New York-based Crowley Foods and Minneapolis, Minnesota-based Kemps LLC, adding to Hood’s portfolio of national and super regional brands as well as processing and distribution operations.

 

In Hood’s traditional home territory of New England, Hood branded lines of milk, creams, ice cream, cottage cheese and sour cream regularly rank number one in the six-state area. Hood also has national and super regional franchise rights to process and sell extended shelf-life products including LACTAID®, Nesquik, Coffee-mate, Stonyfield Farm Organic Milk, Southern Comfort Eggnog and Hood Calorie Countdown reduced carb dairy beverages.
