It was all hands on deck for Creekside as the Agassiz dairy worked around the clock to provide cheese, milk and other staple foods to locals, evacuees and low-income families amid the Fraser Valley鈥檚 historic flood last week.

With supply chain disruptions, landslides and flood waters plaguing the Fraser Valley this week, grocery stores were quickly cleared of staple foods.

That鈥檚 when Creekside Dairy got to work.

Family members and employees at Creekside worked into the night to produce as much milk as they could, processing and pasteurizing it on site to provide cheese and milk to hundreds of hungry community members.

鈥淚t was really crazy busy,鈥 farmer Julaine Treur recalled.鈥滲ut when you see a mother break down because she鈥檚 so happy she has milk for her child, it鈥檚 pretty rewarding.鈥
