UNCOVERING WELLINGTON COUNTY

BEST BAA DAIRY 96

FERGUS

‘We try to keep things as low tech as possible,’ Best Baa Dairy co-owner Nicole Bzikot tells me as we walk through her company’s immaculate Fergus production facility. ‘Our focus is sustainable farming practices, environmentalism, and quality.’

Best Baa products range from tasty sheep’s milk and creamy sheep’s milk yogurt to mouth-watering feta and sheep’s milk cream cheese.

Where to buy? The Stone Store (Guelph), Fiddleheads, Full Circle Foods, Healthoholics, The Old Kitchen Cupboard (all in Kitchener), Vincenzo’s (Waterloo) and Mustard Seed Co-op (Hamilton), to start.

Like so many other remarkable farms and food businesses that dot Guelph and Wellington County, Best Baa is a partner of Taste Real – a County of Wellington program that promotes local food and facilitates valuable

connections among food businesses, consumers and farmers.

Farmers like Nicole and her husband Peter at Best Baa – folks whose enterprises bring flavour to our region. To your plate. Learn more at bestbaa.com and tastereal.ca
