Established in British Columbia in 1906, Avalon Dairy produces milk and other dairy products in the Vancouver region. Although its roots and operations are Canadian, the business belongs to a group controlled by Beijing Sanyuan Foods of China, whose 2026 financial report continues to list Avalon among its Canadian subsidiaries.
Avalon is milk- and local-dairy-focused and does not mirror Tillamook's national cheese and ice-cream range.

Dairy products and ice cream
Avalon Dairy sells milk, cream, yogurt, ice cream and other dairy products, providing a BC option for part of Tillamook's dairy and ice-cream portfolio.
Founded in British Columbia in 1906, Avalon Dairy is no longer solely family-owned. Canada's Investment Canada Act records identify a 2016 acquisition involving Beijing Sanyuan Foods Co., Ltd. of China. Beijing Sanyuan's August 2026 interim report continues to consolidate Avalon Dairy Limited and Crowley Properties Limited as Canadian subsidiaries with 51% interests at the subsidiary tier. Sanyuan identifies Beijing Shounong Food Group as its ultimate parent. Avalon is Canadian-founded and Canadian-operated, but is foreign-controlled.
Avalon Dairy conducts dairy processing in Burnaby, British Columbia, and describes using local dairy inputs. This supports Canadian production of its dairy lines but does not establish that all Avalon-branded goods meet CFIA's product-specific Made in Canada or Product of Canada criteria. Verify the manufacturing site, milk and ingredient origin, and applicable label for each SKU before enabling either badge. Canadian processing does not establish Canadian ownership.
