For the past 85 years, Kawartha Dairy has been proud to be a 100% Canadian-owned company, still operated by the same family that founded it in 1937.

The company also provides custom dairy ingredients to other food companies using Kawartha Dairy's long history of dairy expertise.

Reflecting the explosive growth in the brand and the business as a whole, Kawartha Dairy has recently constructed a 54,000-square-foot warehouse just south of Bobcaygeon to serve its provincial operations.

Investments are also underway to modernize the production plant, our systems and our infrastructure.
