The Visionary Leadership of Meryl Kennedy Farr

As the youngest of four daughters, Meryl Kennedy Farr took ownership of the business in 2016 with a vision to transform it from a fundraising-oriented cookie dough enterprise into a versatile cookie dough brand accessible through various distribution channels.

Today, our premium cookie dough is available to fundraising entities, private label partners, and contract manufacturing clients. Since Meryl’s acquisition, Neighbors has continuously evolved!

“A cookie is a gesture of love in its purest form.”

The essence of kindness and community can be captured in a single cookie.

Whether supporting a fundraiser or baking cookies at home to share with loved ones or neighbors, it all stems from a place of love.

For Meryl, there is nothing as heartwarming and genuine as the chocolate chip cookie. “Ultimately, it doesn’t matter what cookie you’re crazy for, as long as you pass the love along.”

Our grandfather, Murrel Kennedy, was everyone’s Neighbor.

Born in 1914, he taught our family that a good person was one who treated everyone as neighbors. With love, respect, and compassion, he showed us that being good was to be a neighbor to all.

In honor of his kindness and generosity, we named our company Neighbors, to spread love through something as sweet as a cookie. Today, we love and value our many neighbors that make up our community here in West Monroe, Louisiana.
