Monforte Dairy
49 Griffith Rd N5A 6S4 Stratford, ON, Canada

Good afternoon! Monforte Dairy is taking the stance of being overly cautious and as a result we are taking this week off from all home deliveries, wholesale deliveries and weekend farmers markets across Ontario. We realize this will impact your weekend and next week however we feel it is important to be overly cautious but plan to be back in action early next week! As a result all deliveries (Wholesale + home deliveries) will be delivered on MONDAY NOV 16TH. If this day doe...s not work for you or you are unavailable to receive an order please respond to this email and we will get in touch and help in any way we possibly can. As a team we thank you so so much for your continued support! Monforte Dairy team 519 301 0198

Dear All; What strange times we are in. Part of life being this strange is the not being sure what to say, or how to communicate, or what the future looks like for anyone, let alone us at Monforte. I think that part of being an entrepreneur is the ability to scheme, or at least think your way out of corners and tricky spots and do that by being creative and flexible, and all those words that got you in trouble with your mom when she asked where you have been and what you h...ad been doing. The problem is I just don’t truly know what to say about the future of Monforte at this point. I can’t even imagine what it is as the world seems so uncertain and unsettled. There are lots of things that we want to try; we are turning the front of the dairy back into a store and production facility and café so that we can increase our depth of products and ability to sell locally. And also just spend time with people. The farm is ready for groups of up to 8 or 10 for cooking classes and dinners. The food truck at the farm will be open next spring and hopefully cider ready at the same time. It would seem that since markets are winding down and looking hesitant about winter schedules perhaps we can increase sales by varying our scope of products for delivery. Back to grab bags, cajeta, dolce de leche, whey drinks; preserves; rillettes etc etc . But we could surely use your input. How can we help you? What are your needs in this time? Or do you need us? The Government has done things that helped to keep us viable for the last six months and we thank them, but as the next six months commence it would seem that support will greatly diminish and so we need to increase sales substantially in order to stay viable. That said; there is enough equity in the company that if push came to shove we could sell everything off and service all the debt, or as an accountant friend said we could manage our exit. But oddly enough I am not tired, just confused. I still would like to work at doing and being better and not letting this pandemic be the end of us. But it would surely help to hear your thoughts and opinions. Please email; [email protected]

Thanks to all of you who came out to markets and bought Monforte cheese this weekend! Remember, if you can't make it out, you can always order from our online store and get a delivery to your door if you fall in our delivery range. And hey - a short, masked, drop-in to the storefront at our dairy works, too!

Will you be going a-marketing tomorrow? We hope to see you @ Western Fair, Covent Garden, Withrow Park, Sorauren, Trinity Bellwoods, Leslieville, Wychwood, St. Lawrence, and Brickworks!Will you be going a-marketing tomorrow?

I’m not the best cheese photographer, BUT! This is a special offering coming to markets this weekend: a dry cottage cheese. Come out and see us at our regular haunts, and we can even hand you some recipe cards for some ideas on how to use this tangy, salty character. *EDIT!* we didn’t quite manage getting our recipe cards done, but our helpful marketeers should be able to chat with you and make some good suggestions!

They were looking for different perspectives on what Canadians are hoping to hear in the upcoming speech from the throne. The points she hits are salient, savvy, and heartfelt. Definitely worth a watch and a ponder. [Sidenote: this is the inaugural post of Monforte's new social media manager! My name is Verne, and I'm happy to spread Monforte's message of sustainability, community, and warmth. Let's keep each other emotionally close, if socially distanced.]
