Looking for an all-Canadian perogy? Owned by a Ukrainian-Canadian family, using ingredients grown by Canadian farmers, with a name that’s Inuit for “friendly”… Cheemo is it.
In 1972, Walter Makowecki sold the family farm in order to start a business devoted to making delicious, affordable perogies. Today, they’re a perogy powerhouse, with a swathe of flavours ranging from classics like Potato, Sour Cream and Chives to their Unconventional line, which features Pizza and South Asian Style Curry.
“ My Dad’s goal was provide consumers with delicious, high quality perogies at a reasonable cost. Our family-owned company has not wavered from this goal from day one when we produced our first perogies in a production facility that was not much larger than a one-car garage. Today under our CHEEMO brand, Heritage Frozen Foods produces over three million delicious perogies per day in a state-of-the-art food processing facility, providing consumers with a variety of flavours to meet their discriminating tastes.”
