Kawartha Dairy

I've been seeing posts about Chapman's commitment to sourcing non-US inputs for their ice cream (kudos to them) so I thought I'd check in with my local ice cream provider, Kawartha Dairy.

I couldn't find any info on their website so I sent off an email. Here's their response:

"Kawartha Dairy is proud to be a Canadian, family-owned business, still owned and operated by the same family that started it back in 1937. All our milk and ice cream are Made in Canada at our plant in Bobcaygeon, Ontario using 100% Canadian fresh milk and fresh cream from local farms.  Buying Canadian has always been important to us here at Kawartha Dairy, so 98% of our ingredients and packaging are already sourced from Canadian suppliers. A portion of the 2% is currently sourced from the US as these products are not available here.  Given the current evolving situation, we are looking into the possibility of alternate suppliers."

Good to know that I can continue to support a local business that's sourcing Canadian wherever possible.
