Quality Jersey
Products celebrates
official opening
Dozens of shareholders, industry
representatives and local dignitaries
helped Quality Jersey Products
celebrate the official opening of its
Seaforth plant, September 25.
"The operation that you are
viewing today represents the
culmination of approximately four
years of research and development,
nine months of construction,
renovation and equipment
installation and six months of
operations," company president
Bruce Schmidt of Walton told the
guests.
Inviting guests to taste the Jersey
Tradition and Sno-White products
served at vgrious locations
throughout the plant Schmidt said,
"We hope you understand and realize
that you are actually tasting the fruit
born of the seed of dreams that was
planted five years ago in the minds of
a small group of Jersey breeders from
the Huron -Perth Jersey Club."
Schmidt said the Jersey producers
believed that in taking this innovative
direction they would be able to
achieve the necessary control to
establish long term security for their
family farms.
Murray Gaunt, who was the master
of ceremonies for the event, called
the new company a fine example of
the value-added concept at work. The
original group of 14 Jersey producers
has grown into 43 shareholders, he
told the audience.
The company is run by a three
person management team including
Schmidt, Tammy Sparling of Varna
and Bill Wallace of Seaforth.0
