Welcome

Little Qualicum Cheeseworks is a small family run cheesemaking facility located on a picturesque Vancouver Island farm.​ We are a small team of farmers, cheesemakers, and food lovers, working together to create excellent products with milk from our happy herd of cows.

- LOCAL, ETHICAL, SUSTAINABLE -

Packaged Little Qualicum Cheeseworks cheeses with grapes, strawberries, herb vines, sliced cheeses, almonds, pecans, crackers, deli meat, cheese knife, cheese spread, and pickled items
