A Better Choice is the Dare promise.
Dare is a proudly Canadian family business that has been in business since 1889. Throughout our long history, we have created some of the country's most beloved brands, including Bear Paws, RealFruit candies, Breton crackers, and Melba Toast, to name just a few. Our head office has been in the same region for 132 years, but our roots have extended far beyond. With nine manufacturing facilities and over 1,400 employees, Dare is an integral part of Canada's social and economic fabric.
Our team works with passion to maintain our tradition of excellence. Regardless of our growth, we always uphold our commitment to "quality products and honesty." This is a promise upon which our company was founded over a century ago. It is thanks to successive generations of dedicated employees and family that Dare can offer delicious, high-quality products, constantly improved to meet the evolving needs and expectations of Canadians.
Integrity, family, quality, innovation, and our local roots are the pillars of our Best Choice promise.
