Kawartha Dairy French Vanilla Ice Cream

Kawartha Dairy is a quintessential Canadian brand, deeply rooted in the agricultural traditions of Ontario. Founded in 1937 by Jack and Zita Crowe, the company began as a small dairy in Bobcaygeon, Ontario, and has since grown into a beloved regional icon. The brand is particularly famous for its premium ice cream, which is made using fresh milk and cream sourced from local Ontario farms.

Manufacturing remains centralized at the original headquarters in Bobcaygeon, ensuring that the product maintains its heritage and quality standards. Despite its widespread popularity across Canada, Kawartha Dairy remains a family-owned and operated enterprise, currently under the stewardship of the second and third generations of the Crowe family. This independent ownership has allowed the brand to maintain its focus on traditional production methods and community-oriented values into the 2020s and beyond.
