Our Cows are our queens
With around 630 A2-certified cows across our two family farms, there are a lot of mouths to feed at Appleby Farms.
So as well as having free rein over 300 hectares of lush green pasture, our girls also enjoy quality feed. And when our local orchard has extra apples and kiwifruits, we give them those too.
Proper ingredients crafted with care
The way we make ice cream takes time. But doing it properly is what separates us from the herd.
Several times a week we collect fresh milk from Murray’s milking shed and take it to our custom-built creamery, just 15 minutes from our farms. We then churn the milk with cream from Julian’s farm and blend in other quality ingredients to create our award-winning ice cream.
Because we love ‘local’, we work with New Zealand suppliers wherever we can, and source ingredients from in and around Nelson every chance we get. Like our boysenberries, which are handpicked just up the road. And our chocolate brownie, which is handmade in town.
Serving smiles, one scoop at a time
When our ice cream has passed one final taste test, we send it to over 175 supermarkets, cafes and eateries up and down New Zealand. And in the summertime, we serve scoops from our Airstream caravan in Nelson and our Igloo food truck around the North Island.
You can also find our ice cream in selected places in Singapore and Taiwan. Check out the Where to Buy page to find your nearest local freezer.
