FOXHILL MILK - IT'S HERE!

After months of anticipation and patience from our customers, Fox Hill Cheese House is excited to finally have our pasteurized, non-homogenized milk on the shelf. Packaged in glass one liter bottles, it is the first of its kind in the Atlantic provinces in decades.

The project originated in 2008 when Fox Hill Cheese House applied and received a license to process their own specialty fluid milk from their herd of 50 cows. A pasteurized non-homogenized milk was decided upon due to high consumer demand. After much investigation into various types of packaging, consumer surveys and feedback, it was decided to step back in time and utilize returnable glass bottles as the packaging of choice. Many reasons were quote to affirm their desire for such a specialty product including the nostalgia of real farm fresh milk, with the cream on top. Those too young to remember this iconic milk, are excited to have a local, low processed product in an environmentally sustainable package.

A new steel structure processing facility was started in the fall of 2009 with a new larger processing room, additional aging area, shipping and receiving dock, plus a bottle cleaning and storage rooms.

It is our hope that you find your way to Fox Hill Cheese House and experience our fresh whole non-homogenized milk!
