Meadowfresh Dairy

What Meadowfresh Dairy does

Meadowfresh Dairy Corporation is a British Columbia-based dairy processor founded in 1991 that processes, packages, and distributes a broad portfolio of dairy and adjacent products for the Western Canadian market. The company operates a 22,000 sq ft production plant and an 18,000 sq ft warehouse in Port Coquitlam, BC, with capabilities spanning fluid milk (including a differentiated Grass Fed line positioned on CLA and Omega-3 content), cream, butter, cheese, eggs, sour cream, yogurt, ice cream mixes, specialty items, and non-dairy alternatives. Its processing operation is HACCP-compliant and holds CFIA federal registration, BC Milk Marketing Board Class 'A' vendor status, Dairy Farmers of Canada recognition, PACS organic certification, and BC Kosher certification.

The company operates as part of the farmer-owned Agrifoods Cooperative, which has over 2,700 farmer members supplying raw milk, providing supply security and a direct-to-source narrative. Meadowfresh serves more than 700 customers across three primary segments: industrial food processors (CDC permit and non-permit based, distributing to Canadian and foreign markets), retail grocery stores, and food service companies such as hotels, restaurants, caterers, bakeries, and coffee shops. In addition to branded and retail-ready products, it offers private label manufacturing, co-packing/custom ingredient development, and flexible packaging solutions.

Revenue is generated through transactional dairy product sales across retail and food service channels, supplemented by private label and co-packing service revenue from industrial customers. Distribution is handled through a company-owned fleet of refrigerated trucks delivering 7 days a week, 364 days a year across the Lower Mainland from Harrison to West Vancouver. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales for B2B accounts with direct-to-consumer availability via retail grocery partners. No app, digital ordering platform, or public pricing is available; the company relies on its website and direct sales relationships for customer acquisition.
