At Appleby Farms we always knew that our milk was too damned fine to send off in a big tanker—and being that we lived in a place famous for its produce, we knew we could make something special. So we went and crafted the most incredible ice cream the world has ever tasted. It sounds simple, but took years of research and determination. If there’s one thing Kiwis excel at, it’s rolling up our sleeves and applying a bit of hard work and ingenuity to create something unforgettable. Perhaps it’s our isolated location in the South Pacific; or maybe our underdog nature. One thing is certain, something this good deserves to be shared with the world.
Sustainable Farming
Looking after the land isn’t just a nice idea, it’s a family tradition—one that stretches back generations. After more than 150 years of farming you learn a thing-or-two about being good ancestors. We know that when we do right by our people, our land and our livestock, everything thrives (and helps our ice cream taste so much better). Our mission is to take the finest ingredients and craft them into premium products that remind people of simpler times.
Quality Ingredients
Making our ice cream takes time—and that’s what sets us apart from the herd. We gather fresh milk from our nearby farms and blend it with quality ingredients, crafting each batch with care and tradition. We love keeping it local—from boysenberries handpicked just up the road to chocolate brownies made in town. Every scoop tells a simple, honest story of flavour and community.
Joy of sharing
Appleby Farms is about slowing down and savouring life. We put that same care into our ice cream, so when you share a scoop, you’re really sharing a moment—a simple escape from the rush of the everyday.
