Today Kawartha Dairy operates 13 retail stores and services a wide range of customers, from grocery stores to food service establishments and of course, ice cream parlours. Fresh milk and fresh cream is received daily from local farms and the rich and creamy milk and ice cream are still made the traditional way.

Kawartha Dairy is committed to growing our company culture of super-friendly staff, above-and-beyond customer service and of course creating a fabulous collection of ice cream and other products.
