Acquisition Details
Maple Leaf Foods completed the purchase of our Schomberg, Ontario processing plant and its associated supply on Friday, June 25, 2021. This follows the 2018 sale of our Bradford and Drummondville plants, and completes the sale of Cericola Farms. Official news release
We have always taken pride in the community we support and live in. Bradford West Gwillimbury and its agricultural roots have been instrumental in the success and growth of our organization, and we know that the same opportunities will be available for the development of the Maple Leaf Foods organization as well.
Cericola Farms entrusts Tony and Mary Cericola's legacy to an organization full of family values aligned with our own philosophies. The availability of chicken raised with carefully developed feed, processed and delivered fresh to local markets was Tony Cericola's vision. With the help of his family and community, Tony and Mary fulfilled this vision for over 60 years.
Products like chicken raised without animal by-products or antibiotics, organic chicken and halal chicken are just a few examples of the commitment to provide naturally raised fresh chicken for families - a commitment recognized in 2018 by the South Simcoe Business Excellence Awards.
Cericola Farms has always operated as a family owned business. These products, complementing the natural products delivered by the Maple Leaf Foods brand, will ensure this vision remains fulfilled for years to come.
This site will remain as a historical reference.
