About Foothills Creamery Ltd

Manufacturing

Foothills Creamery has proudly produced dairy products and served Western Canada for over 50 years. Foothills Creamery got its start by manufacturing butter and we eventually expanded to ice cream, now offering over 80 different flavours of ice cream, sorbet, sherbet, and soft serve. We continue to use the same old-fashioned, barrel churned techniques as we did in 1969. It's what makes our ice cream and butter richer, creamier, and more full-bodied.

Foothills Creamery is 100% Canadian owned, with our operations based in Calgary and additional locations in Edmonton and Kelowna. Even though Foothills has grown over the past 50 years, we're still committed to providing small batch, craft dairy products that excite butter and dessert lovers of all ages.
