We at Reid's Dairy are saddened to learn of the closing of the "Quickert's Dairy and Frozen Food" stores. They have been a great customer of ours over the years and have a loyal customer base as evident from the many calls and emails to our offices.
Reid's Dairy is one of the oldest dairies in Canada operating since 1910. We currently employ approximately 70 people in Belleville and operate the single store at our plant. 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.
"I am very proud of our renovated ice cream parlour and store and I'm looking forward to celebrating our 100th anniversary in our new store in 2010,"said Stephen Quickert, president of Reid's Dairy. There is literally something for the whole family to see in the new ice cream parlour/retail store. Read on »

Easy milk cartons with resealable caps, curvy-shaped 250-mL and 500-mL Mini Diamond Curve cartons provide as a better hand-grip for drinking the product straight from the carton.
“We showed the students the Mini Diamond Curve, and received top marks from them, citing the cartons as being both vibrant and fresh,” says Quickert.

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
products, it was a visit to a high-school marketing class at the nearby Centennial Secondary School (CSS) that
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."
