From farm to fridge: The Miller’s Dairy story

In Creemore, Ontario, great dairy starts with the Miller family. Since 1959, they have built a brand Canadians love, growing from a small farm into a community favourite defined by quality, ethical farming, and a commitment to doing things the right way.

At Miller’s Dairy, the philosophy is simple: happy cows make good milk, and they live that every day. Everything happens on the farm, from caring for their Jersey herd to bottling in reusable glass using a 75-year-old family machine. The result is fresher milk, less waste, and a truly local product.

Their small-batch eggnog, a holiday favourite in their community is back in Loblaw grocery stores in Hanover, including the very first one to carry their product: John Grant’s Your Independent Grocer^®. For the Millers, having a retailer who believed in their story from the start made all the difference.

This year, their eggnog will also make a one-day appearance at Maple Leaf Gardens on December 6. For suppliers like Miller's Dairy, growth doesn’t mean becoming something they’re not. It means gaining scale, visibility, and support to bring great products to more Canadians while staying true to their values.

For Loblaw, this partnership reflects exactly what the Small Supplier Program exists to do:

• Make space for exceptional local products

• Support Canadian small businesses to scale and thrive

• Bring authentic stories and standout products to our customers

Miller's Dairy isn’t trying to win on volume. They win on quality, consistency, and pride in how they operate. Our partnership helps them grow while continuing to succeed on those terms. Miller’s Dairy is a meaningful example of what can happen when a small supplier gets the chance to reach more Canadians, and how Loblaw can help small businesses scale in a way that keeps their identity, their values, and their quality intact.
