About Little Qualicum Cheeseworks

Little Qualicum Cheeseworks was established in 2001 by Clarke and Nancy Gourlay. After a career in humanitarian aid and development, the Gourlays, including their three young sons, moved to Vancouver Island to be close to family and explore their dream of making Swiss-style artisan cheese. They started off on a rented farm, with a handful of cows, making cheese in a renovated school-portable. With a growing team of staff and key involvement from Nancy’s parents Ray & Judy Haynes, they were able to purchase 88-acre Morningstar Farm in French Creek, the scenic region between Parksville and Qualicum beach, and Little Qualicum Cheeseworks found its permanent home.

About Living Tree Foods

Started in 2020, Living Tree Foods was born from a dream to make sustainable, plant-based foods as delicious and accessible as their non-vegan counterparts. 

Living Tree Foods is owned and operated by a collection of lawyers and articled students who aim to use their powers for good. In the practice of law, the ‘living tree’ doctrine holds that the way we interpret the world around us and the way we behave within it should adapt to changing times and information. With more and more evidence coming out all the time about the health benefits of a plant-based diet, and the increasing concern for animals' interests and rights, there is no better way to embody this principle than to work plant-based foods into our diet.

About Little Armstrong Cheese

In the early 1900’s, adventurers and railway men were drawn to the pristine beauty of British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, paving the way for the settlers to discover a richland. Falling in love with their new home, many found the terrain perfect for agricultural and dairy farming, and soon the Town of Armstrong, B.C. was established.
Founded in 1902 by Canadian dairy farmers, the region’s very first creamery was born and soon, cheese artisans founded the Armstrong Cheese company. Using fresh milk, they made it their mission to create quality Cheddar cheeses so exquisite that the Armstrong brand soon travelled well beyond the meadows of their small community.
Times have changed, but Armstrong cheese has stood the test of time. For generations, our master cheesemakers have passed along their knowledge and expertise to bring you Cheddar cheese at its best.
