The Beyer family have been operating Crystal Springs Dairy Company since 2005. Located in beautiful Coalhurst, AB, they have prided themselves in bringing Albertans locally sourced, impeccably made cheeses such as their Gouda, Havarti and Cheddar varieties all crafted from Alberta dairy cows.

Crystal Springs is well known for it high quality artisinal line of cheeses. All their products are made with milk from Alberta dairy cattle. Their Bles-Wold line is made exclusively with A2 milk from their own (tested and confirmed) herd of cows that live happily at their family-owned dairy farm, located on the same property as their production facility.
