Profile of a dedicated butter maker: Using his craft to help build a better world

Alain Gagné, veteran butter maker, has been with Agropur for 34 years, making superior-quality butter for the Cooperative day after day. He knows the importance of mutual support and knowledge-sharing in order to turn out better butter at the Beauceville plant. 

In addition to making a product consumers appreciate, Alain Gagné takes pride in being part of an organization based on cooperative principles. “The money is distributed to the farmers, who live in rural communities,” he says. “They reinvest the money they make.”

Watch the video to see how Alain helps make the products consumers love every day.
