An Evening to Remember
25 Years.
Growth. Challenges. Wins. Loss. Change.
What started as a dream in 2001 and has grown into the business you know today. Little Qualicum Cheeseworks has a rich history, and this year we're celebrating the two-and-a-half decades behind us!
The main event of our Anniversary year took place earlier this week, right here on the farm. The vision behind An Evening on the Farm was to celebrate the legacy of LQC with our community of new and old friends who have been there through our many eras.
To everyone who joined us in celebrating An Evening on the Farm—thank you for being here with us, and for being a part of LQC’s story these past 25 years. It brought so much joy to see each and every one of you!
