LIBERTÉ was founded in 1936 by Russian immigrants who wished to obtain kosher dairy products to the Jewish community of Montreal . The company was located at the corner of St -Urbain and Duluth , near Downtown Montreal . The company subsequently moved to Brossard in 1964. In 1971 , the company was bought and the new owner diversified product range already consists of cottage, cream cheese and sour cream , adding yogurt . We kept the traditional and artisanal dimension of our production while taking expansion. Gradually, before the craze of customers for these products, we develop more and more ranges while maintaining our values ​of quality and purity.

We also have two plants based in St-Hyacinthe and Brisbane. Our products are place in our warehouses of St-Hubert and Brampton.

"Organic Valley may be the biggest producer of grass-fed organic milk in the country, but it’s because they’re made up of hundreds of small family farms."

Our co-operative is the first of its kind to include both licenced dairy cow and dairy goat members who, together, live and work on roughly 1,400 dairy farms across Ontario and Manitoba. Together with our investor members – retired dairy producers, those with links to the Canadian dairy industry and Gay Lea Foods employees – we are a leading Canadian co-operative, with more than 4,100 producers and preferred shareholders.

Our producer members supply our milk and govern our co-operative as elected delegates and Director representatives, setting policies and making decisions on behalf of the broader membership.
