As Quickert's Dairy was a large customer of ours we will be actively seeking new outlets for our unique line of products in your areas. Reid's products are currently offered in the folowing locations:
From the fresh cream ice creams made with all Canadian dairy ingredients or the clean fresh taste of our milks or the fresh coffee cream with no additives - we at Reid's will continue to provide the best products at affordable prices for you our treasured customers. Talk to your retailers and demand Reid's.

While many adults may agree with the old adage that kids are much better seen than heard, you can forgive the folks over at Reid’s Dairy Co. Ltd. in Belleville, Ont., for dismissing the notion as sheer nonsense.
In fact, when the family-operated business recently prepared for a major launch of a new line of milk and juice

tapped a flood of fresh ideas on what sort of milk packaging really works among today’s youths and adolescents—one of the most sought-after demographic target groups out there.
"We went to CSS with some packaging ideas and prototypes that we had built and asked the students for their feedback," recalls Reid's Dairy president Stephen Quickert,
"and not only did they tell us what they liked, they told us what they didn't like and offered constructive critiques on how to make our packaging better."
