Opportunity Highlights
 

First independent grass fed dairy processor in Canada – Because we are both the leaders and primary advocates for grass fed dairy we are uniquely positioned in the market place to leverage this rapidly growing market segment.
Started small and niche – Developed strong brand recognition through personal relationships, organic growth turned into solid foundation leading to excellent brand loyalty in a highly commoditized, highly price sensitive shelf.
Only independent dairy in BC sourcing milk from individual farms – Providing value to consumers by tracing the origin of the milk in their dairy products back to a farm
Methodologies and formulations developed in-house – All recipes have been developed in-house including greek yogurt thickening technology this means not as easily replicated by competitors.
