Owned by Nutrinor since 2017, Quebec-based Fromagerie Champêtre is getting CAD747,542 (US$561,311) via the government’s Dairy Processing Investment Fund. 

It will use the cash to “produce new speciality cheeses” and purchase new equipment in support of the factory expansion. The project is expected to create six jobs.

Kelly Shipway, the vice president for agri-food sales and business development at Nutrinor, said: “Thanks to this investment, Fromagerie Champêtre will acquire state-of-the-art equipment that will allow for better monitoring of production and more precise control over the quality and traceability of our products.
