Harrisburg dairies assets sold to New Jersey company for $4.95M

Listen to this articleHarrisburg Dairies, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year after losing out on most of its contracts, has sold off its real estate, equipment and naming rights to a New Jersey company.
A federal judge in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania signed an order last week approving the sale of the assets, located at 2001 Herr St. in Harrisburg.
Patanjali Dairy USA LLC purchased the assets for a value of $4.95 million. The company’s equipment and machinery, and the rights to use the Harrisburg Dairies name, are all included in the deal.
Founded in 1931, Harrisburg Dairies in July suddenly lost a major contract with Amazon-owned Whole Foods. The business failed to recuperate after the blow. The Pennsylvania Milk Board had already placed the dairy under a strict weekly payment order as far back as 2023 due to repeated late-payment citations. Reports say Harrisburg Dairies had $4.6 million in assets and $3.6 million in liabilities at the time of the bankruptcy filing.
In addition to financial insolvency, the organization failed a range of food safety inspections between Jan. and Oct. 2025. The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture took 13 enforcement actions against Harrisburg Dairies, including filing citations, detaining products and issuing warning letters. Patanjali Dairy has not spoken on the decision to purchase the bankrupt business’ assets or its intentions for future business.
