L’Ancêtre cheese factory celebrates 30 years of organic production
Bécancour, June 14th, 2022 – 30 years of dairy products production and transformation were celebrated on Sunday in Bécancour during a family party organized to mark the event. DuBreton and Inewa, two other certified organic companies were also present, showing evidence of the close ties between companies in this field of activity in Quebec.
2022 is a very important year for the entire agri-food field related to the production and processing of organic food in Quebec and Canada, as this year marks the 30th anniversary of L’Ancêtre Cheese Factory in Bécancour. The company has come a long way since 1992, when pioneers in the dairy sector decided to join forces to change things and imply their vision of a more sustainable and responsible agriculture, beneficial not only to people’s health, animals, soil, but also to the environment.
For Pascal Désilets, CEO of the company, every bite is a better world, as it represents the cheese factory founders’ determination to produce and transform dairy products without any compromise for health, environment, and animal welfare. « It was far from obvious in 1992, that this desire to do better would lead to the exceptional achievements that L’Ancêtre has reached on a Canadian-wide scale. Who would have thought at the time that L’Ancêtre would become one of the most important organic product processing companies in Canada? And a heartfelt thank you to our workers for believing in our mission with such conviction and for bringing as much heart and energy into it as those who were there 30 years ago” says Pascal Désilets.
