WHO IS FARMHOUSE ICE CREAM FOR?

For dairy farmers and fruit growers who want to turn their raw ingredients into high-quality, high-value ice creams and sorbets.

DAIRY FARMERS

Dairy farmers looking to add more value to their milk will find a stable secondary source of income with Farmhouse Ice Cream. For some, it even becomes a primary source of income on the farm. By processing part of their milk into ice cream, they obtain a finished product with better profit per litre, and numerous opportunities for direct sales in their region.

Farmhouse Ice Cream also makes it possible to expand the product range and access new distribution channels, such as farm sales, catering or local food shops. Thanks to comprehensive support in production, quality, hygiene and positioning, ice cream becomes a truly profitable addition to the existing business.

FRUIT GROWERS

Fruit growers who want to add value to their fruit can create a unique finished product with the Farmhouse Ice Cream concept. By combining carefully sourced milk with their own fruit, they obtain artisanal farmhouse ice cream with a high margin and strong local identity.
‍
Designed to integrate into daily farm life, the concept offers comprehensive support in recipes, hygiene, regulations and sales, making the processing unit a profitable addition to fruit production.

FARMHOUSE ICE CREAM AS A PROFITABLE SOURCE OF INCOME

The Farmhouse Ice Cream concept allows you to process milk from your own farm – whether from cow, sheep, goat or buffalo – and/or fruit grown on site into a wide range of frozen products. You can thus produce scoop ice cream, soft ice cream, ice cream cakes, desserts and packaged ice cream products, intended for sale at the farm or for delivery to catering, tourist attractions, retailers and farm shops. Your ice cream activity thus becomes a genuine source of income.

Everything is designed to work together coherently: from equipment, natural ingredients and recipes, to training, hygiene, regulations, packaging and sales support. This turnkey approach ensures that ice cream production works efficiently from day one, with clear recipes, practical training and ongoing support. The concept can also be easily expanded to meet increased demand.
‍
A Farmhouse Ice Cream processing unit meets the growing demand for local, 100% natural and responsibly produced food. It strengthens the farm's business model, making it more visible and sustainable in the region, while enhancing the farm's image.
