The Zeldenrijk family

Our Story

The story of the Zeldenrijk family being involved in the dairy industry began when Nicolaas’ grandfather purchased two cows named “Galis” & “Marie” in the Netherlands. When Nicolaas and his wife, Wilma, immigrated to Canada they continued on the names, resulting in “New Galma Dairy”. The farm was established in 2001 in the quaint but rapidly growing town of Mount Elgin in Oxford County.

A FAMILY FARM

With a passion for showing, they’re breeding top-notch cattle and making waves in the show ring. Now, they’ve fulfilled their dream of cheesemaking with a new creamery producing delicious Dutch-style cheeses. 

 
In 2020, Kimmely the youngest daughter, went to the Netherlands on a mission to discover how they made the cheese that their family had loved for generations. There she learned how Dutch cheese was made. Wanting to learn even more she traveled to western Canada to visit British Columbia to have a glimpse at what they had kept from the Dutch ways and transferred into a Dutch-Canadian cheese in a way of perfecting the tradition of cheese making.
 
Family is at the heart of it all, driving their success forward.
