Milk, Cheese, Quark, Yogurt, and So Much More
Meet the Backx Family
Welcome! We’re the Backx family, the heart behind Markhoeve Dairy.
Originally we are from the Netherlands, we moved to Canada in 2009 to follow our dream of becoming dairy farmers. Back in the Netherlands we had dairy goats, but our passion was always with dairy cows. The dream of creating and selling our own dairy products began in the Netherlands, initially with goat milk, but the dreams truly came to life here in Waterford, Ontario.
In 2015, we put down roots here in Waterford, and as our kids got older, and went off to school, we finally turned our dream into reality. Today we are proud to be the first on-farm dairy processor in Norfolk County, Ontario.
“Great first time, we enjoyed every product. We were very happy with the education given on each product.”
“Wonderful family-run dairy, we are thrilled to have them finally open their doors in Norfolk County.”
“Love it! How milk should taste. Deliciously rich, and you can’t get it any fresher! The chocolate milk is a special treat, and the quark is so rich and creamy, yum!”
“This is a great spot to get cheese, quark, yogurt, kefir, milk, and so much more. It’s great to support a local farm that offers such fresh and nutritious products.”
