Island Farms Chocolate Ice Cream

Island Farms is a iconic Canadian dairy brand with deep roots in British Columbia. Founded in 1944 by a group of local dairy farmers on Vancouver Island, the brand has grown from a small local cooperative into one of the most recognized dairy names in Western Canada. The product shown, 'Chocolat intense' (Intense Chocolate) ice cream, prominently features bilingual English and French labeling typical of Canadian consumer goods and includes a stamp indicating it is manufactured in British Columbia (C.-B.).

Today, Island Farms is owned by Agropur Dairy Cooperative, one of the largest dairy cooperatives in the world. Agropur acquired the parent company of Island Farms (Natrel) as part of its expansion into the Western Canadian market. Despite the change in ownership to a Quebec-based cooperative, the manufacturing remains centered in Victoria, British Columbia, maintaining its legacy as a regional favorite while benefiting from the logistical and distribution power of a national dairy leader.
