== Thornloe Cheese Factory ==

Since 1940 Thornloe Cheese had produced a respected brand of award-winning cheese and butter products in [[Northeastern Ontario]]. Fresh milk was utilized from neighboring farms all within a 25KM footprint in this [[Clay Belt|unique Northern agricultural region]].

The original home of Thornloe Cheese was built in the village of Thornloe in 1940. It continued to operate in that location until a new plant was built in 1969 at the current location on [[Ontario Highway 11|Highway 11]] just north of the City of [[Temiskaming Shores]], and it was a popular attraction for tourists.

The Thornloe Cheese Factory employed more than 35 full and part-time workers, and purchased over 3 million litres of milk from local farmers.
