"To Provide Pickle Lovers With The Best Darn Pickles Available Anywhere...." Charles Woodbridge in 1942 founded Lakeside Packing Company on this tenet and today we are still using this principle as our mission statement! Even though we produce and sell over 70 products to markets in Canada, United States, Europe, the Caribbean, Asia and Australia, we have never lost focus on the foundation this company was built on! ...Quality To assure our customers of the Quality of our products, we still adhere to traditional methods. Most of our crops are still hand picked and our products are hand packed and hand processed, to allow us to focus on detail and product quality! We let the Big Guys mass produce and concentrate on Quantity Faced with a surplus....of cucumbers and peppers on his fresh market farm, Charles Woodbridge (pictured with his brother Mervyn) realized that preserving these vegetables would allow him to meet the growing demands of the consumer (who wanted a pickle or pepper product year round..)and would allow him to sell his surplus crop and maximize his growing potential! Never sacrificing quality! With an innovative mind and an entrepreneurial drive, Charles Woodbridge set out to accomplish his dream. Borrowing many family recipes from his mother and grandmother and developing some of his own, Charles set out to supply the consumer with the traditional old fashioned tastes and flavours that people fancied. Especially, for many Europeans who could not find the products in Canada, that they were use to back home in the "Old Country". The art of pickling and vegetable preservation was much different back then. Wooden barrels were often used and salt brine was the most common medium for preserving. Spices were garden fresh and hand chopped! Vinegars became increasingly necessary to prevent spoilage as technology changed. Charles Woodbridge was an innovator and an experimenter who developed many new processes and methods to increase the quality and firmness of his products. Lakeside Packing in its infancy, supplied many large companies with a "house brand" label for a number of years and focused on co-packing for other processors as well! Realizing the potential that existed, Lakeside Packing began in 1948 offering the "Lakeside label" to consumers and it began to flourish. What s in our name....it s simple! Our name indicates our location and our location reflects our name. We are located on the south shore of Essex County, in the province of Ontario, Canada. On the Lake (Erie) side! Our labels have changed through evolution! Our first label (see below) illustrated a tranquil scene of a sailboat on a lake, to our familiar freelance blue label, to our present day labels with the distinguishable flag logo and yellow colour. Nothing fancy.... because we still focus on whats inside the jar. As one customer said,"You can t eat the label"! Great pickles sell the second jar...Great labels and packaging sells only the first... Our "Lakeside" label is strong in many areas, but due to changing markets and consumer demands, private label products are becoming more readily available.
