Our Story
from a dream to a cheesy business
An Idea is Born
Entrepreneur Patrick Dupuis opened the Old School Cheesery in 2016 after serving 25 years in the military. He completed the cheese maker certificate program at Guelf University in Ontario, aquired his pasteurizing license, and became the head cheese maker for his own business.
Our First Employee
His eldest daughter Valerie, joined the team in early 2017 to help run the business. She also acquired her pasteurizing license and became a cheese maker, learning from her father.
Our new facilities
Our production facility is located just south of Vermilion on Buffalo Coulee Road (TWP Road 482 West) on a small acreage beside the Buffalo Coulee community hall. We are currently in the process of moving into our new production space in downtown Vermilion next to our restaurant on 59th avenue.
Our boutique in Vermilion is where you can purchase our products along with a wide selection of locally sourced goods. The restaurant offers charcuterie and other fodds that showcase our cheeses. It also boasts a wine bar and local craft beer on tap with seating available inside or outside on our brand new terrasse.
We purchase our cow milk through Alberta Milk, supporting local diary producers. The milk is pasteurized in our own facility and once the process is complete, our team handcrafts it into artisan cheese.

Amaranth Foods
Amaranth Foods started in 1994 by a young entrepreneur who wanted to build a better world for his family. His passion was creating an inclusive space where everyone's health journey was supported, enabling people to make the same connection that what you eat impacts the way you feel and how you live.
This now older entrepreneur has since passed his torch to his son and protege, who continues to inspire the same desire of building a better world not only for his family, but families and communities across Alberta.
