    About:

    Bright’s Dairy is the oldest surviving dairies producing cheddar in Ontario. It was begun by a group of farmers who wanted to use up a surplus of milk from production. By the 1900’s, cheddar cheese was actually Canada’s second biggest export!

    At that time, over 1,242 cheddar factories existed in Ontario, Bright’s Dairy being one of the many. Though much has changed since then, Bright’s Dairy has weathered all of them and remains operating out of the very same factory from 1874!
