About Our Company
Springbank Cheese Company is an independent, Canadian-owned company that has been operated over the years by three generations of the Hemsworth family, with the assistance of experienced, capable, and friendly staff members. The Hemsworths have been in the cheese business since 1960.
The company is named after the Springbank Snow Countess, a celebrated Holstein cow who was a “world champion producer.” A statue in her honour was erected in Woodstock on the site where Springbank Farm (her home) was once located. She is also featured in the firm’s logo.
Today, Springbank Cheese offers more than 400 varieties of cheese, including a complete line of Canadian favourites, as well as quality imports from around the world.
At the plant in Woodstock, bulk cheese is cut and packaged into deli- and consumer-size pieces that are sold under the firm’s brand name and private labels according to customers’ requirements. Specialty shred products are also produced. This facility is licensed by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and under the Safe Food for Canadians Act. Regulatory compliance with the strict standards associated with dairy products is monitored through regular plant and product inspections, conducted by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
Markets are varied:
- Wholesale Customers: Food-service sector organizations, including restaurants, hotels, caterers, dining establishments, distributors, and institutions.
- Retail sector organizations, including grocery stores, cheese shops, deli counters and farm-markets vendors, and industrial users.
- Fundraising Groups: Schools, sports groups, church groups, and other not-for-profit organizations across Canada, which access this highly effective means of raising funds for their projects.
- Gift Basket Clientele: A complete cheese gift line is offered seasonally to retail customers, stores, fundraisers, and corporations.
- Retail Customers are welcomed at our small factory outlet in Woodstock and our five much larger and more elaborate stores in Calgary, situated at 602 16th Avenue NW, Willow Park Village Shopping Center, Crowfoot Corner, Garrison Gateway (Marda Loop), and Aspen Landing.
