Kawartha Dairy Ice Cream

Kawartha Dairy is a deeply rooted Canadian brand that has become a staple in the ice cream industry. Founded in 1937, the company began as a small family-run dairy in the village of Bobcaygeon, Ontario. Over the decades, it has maintained its reputation by using traditional recipes and fresh milk and cream sourced from local Ontario farms, ensuring a high-quality, authentic product.

While many large-scale dairy brands have been consolidated into global conglomerates, Kawartha Dairy remains a proudly independent, family-owned business. The manufacturing takes place primarily in their original home of Bobcaygeon, where they operate a large-scale production facility that distributes products across Canada. Their ownership structure is clear and local, making them a point of pride for the Canadian food and beverage sector.
