Daffin's Candies has gained a national name for its delectable milk and semi-sweet chocolate candy.

Chocolate has an interesting history, as it didn’t catch on with the public until the 192Os. This wasn't a matter of people not enjoying the delicious taste of chocolate. Rather, it was the debut of air conditioning - which helped prevent chocolate from melting - that pushed chocolate sales through the roof. Prior to that it was uncommon for stores to carry chocolate past April because of the warm temperatures.

With small beginnings and great expectations, we at Stremicks Heritage Foods have come a long way in order to establish a reputation based on our expertise and commitment to quality.The early stages of development were begun in 1988 when our President and CEO, Lou Stremick, purchased Carnation dairy in Los Angeles and changed the name to Main St. In 1990, Lou and a group of investors purchased Adohr Farms and merged both Main St. and Adohr together. Adohr Farms was founded in 1916 by Merritt and Rhoda (backwards, that's Adohr) Adamson, and became the worlds largest milk producer. After a rich history including Spanish land grants, a battle to overcome the Great Depression, and more than two decades of ownership by Southland Corporation, Adohr Farms was ready for a new vision and new direction. As our focus changed to meet the increasing demand for organic and 'good for you' products, so did our name. Newly named Stremicks Heritage Foods, we took our already exceptional line of products to new heights with our Organic Milk and will continue to bring you more ‘good for you' products.The knowledge and expertise of the people who brought Stremicks Heritage Foods to where it is today dates back long before the company was established. We've assembled a team with exceptional experience. In fact, our staff boasts an average tenure of more than 25 years and we recognize all of the hard work each individual provides in order for this company to continue to prosper. We are building our history together.
