Stoney Creek Dairy a brief History |
 |
|
In 1929, a young George Dawson began the original Stoney Creek Dairy from a small garage at the back of his home on King Street, collecting milk from surrounding farms, bottling it and providing his neighbours with fresh milk from their own community. Right from the beginning, the Dairy delivered only the highest quality products and the highest level of service to its customers. Over the next several years the dairy installed new equipment, developed its own ice cream recipes and began manufacturing and serving its own delicious flavours of ice cream. |

Twelve years after starting the dairy, the now legendary Dairy Bar opened and quickly became a favourite meeting place. To keep up with growing demand, a more modern facility was built, opening in 1964 still on the original site. In 1974 an older section of the building was destroyed in a blaze, a scary moment for what had become one of Stoney Creek’s favourite landmarks. The Dairy was rebuilt to the original design and re-opened in the spring of 1975. In 1979, the Dairy began to focus exclusively on ice cream. |

In the late 1990’s, the facility underwent a massive overhaul, with an investment of close to $13 Million, to make the Stoney Creek plant a state of the art manufacturing facility.
Since december 2010, Stoney Creek Dairy Ltd is owned by Produits Plaisirs Glacés inc. This company continues production of Stoney Creek Dairy products with the same quest for superior quality that caracterized Stoney Creek Dairy. |
