Summit Station Dairy in Hamilton, Ontario is a family-run farm and has been owned by the Loewith family since 1947. Today it is operated by four generations of the same family. Summit Station Dairy is housed in a red, train station–style building which features local railway history.
Once inside, fresh dairy products are offered for tasting and purchase: whole, chocolate, and strawberry milk in reusable glass bottles, creamy cheese curds, and small‑batch butter. A viewing window allows visitors to witness the pasteurizing and bottling process, demonstrating how dairy production is handled on-site. On Saturdays, guided barn tours are available and guests can walk through the milking parlour and be introduced to cows and calves—an experience to help connect people to where their food comes from. In addition, for those living in Hamilton, doorstep milk delivery in glass bottles has been revived, recalling the old‑fashioned “milkman” tradition and bringing fresh milk directly to subscribers.
I have heard their chocolate milk referred to as being the best chocolate milk in the world, while the cheese curds are celebrated for their fresh “squeak”. All in all, a visit to Summit Station Dairy in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada offers an immersive farm‑to‑table experience for all.
