For all its emphasis on consistently producing great products and finding new markets for those products, Kawartha Dairy cherishes its storied history and the continued fostering of a family feel amongst its employees.
With retail stores throughout central Ontario, including in Peterborough and Lindsay, Kawartha Dairy’s milk and ice cream products can be found in grocery stores across the province – not only a testament to the quality of its product but also proof of the company’s stellar reputation as a leader in its industry.
Mike Crowe, the director of product and capabilities development and chair of Kawartha Dairy’s board, carries forward a legacy deeply rooted in family history. As the grandson of Jack and Ila Crowe, who founded the company in 1937 in Bobcaygeon—where it remains headquartered—he sees this history as a vital anchor for the business.
The company’s success is closely tied to its dedicated workforce, many of whom have been with Kawartha Dairy for decades. Their commitment plays a crucial role in the day-to-day operations, ensuring that the company continues to thrive.
