Partnering with Park Farm: Where Cows, Quality, and Ice Cream Unite

In September 2022, we kicked off an udderly fantastic partnership with Park Farm to source the freshest whole milk for our scrumptious ice cream. Not only did this partnership reduce our carbon hoofprint by keeping things local (less than 10 miles away!), but it also showcased our commitment to quality. Park Farm’s milk brings a whole new level of creaminess to our ice cream, thanks to those extra-lovingly raised cows with their rich, high-fat content milk.

Hold your cone, there’s more! We worked with Park Farm to revolutionize our milk delivery – ciao to single-use plastics!  Before, we were drowning in 70 cardboard boxes and plastic containers every week, but now, our milk arrives in giant 1000-litre reusable pallecon containers – saving the day and about two and a half tons of single-use plastic every year!

Discover more about Park Farm and how you can get their fresh milk delivered to your doorstep here.
