“Since acquiring the brand in July 2024, Maple Ridge Farms has seen Sweeter Cards rise rapidly to the top, becoming the company’s #1 selling item,” said Tom Riordan, the company’s president.
Now, Maple Ridge Farms is sweetening the deal by expanding its popular Sweeter Cards line. Initially known for its gourmet chocolate bars tucked inside beautifully designed customized greeting cards, Sweeter Cards now includes chocolate-dipped pretzels, candy-coated chocolates, gummi bears, and an expanded lineup of homestyle cookies.
The goal of the acquisition was clear: take what founder Stacy Stahl built—a creative, thoughtful product with an emotional spark—and grow it. Maple Ridge Farms brought its time-tested 45 years of experience in production, merchandising, and fulfillment to the table while preserving the heart of what made Sweeter Cards beloved from the start.
“Our vision was to keep the ingenuity, storytelling, and giftability of Sweeter Cards intact, while unlocking more possibilities for flavors, occasions, and scalability,” said Jodie Schillinger, Executive Vice President at Maple Ridge Farms. “We’ve done just that, and the market response has been incredible.”
With its expanded treat options and continued commitment to design-forward, brandable packaging, Sweeter Cards is now a go-to for corporate gifting, employee appreciation, client onboarding, and seasonal campaigns.
