Located about an hour west of Toronto, Heidelberg, Ontario, is a small town that is ideal for people looking to get away from the big city or visit a local farmer’s market. With a strong agricultural base, it’s the kind of town where a small butcher shop/grocery store can pick up a loyal customer base by selling fresh, local products. Heidelberg also happens to be home to one of the fastest-growing, technologically advanced companies in Canada. In both cases, that company is Stemmler’s, which utilizes cutting-edge technology to further its traditional-minded mission.
“We are a family business, and I like to think that we’re a part of the community and helping other families,” says Kevin Stemmler, who represents the second generation of the business along with his two brothers, Shawn and Terry.
