The Taylor family have been farming the land at Glastry Farm near Kircubbin, Co. Down since 1856. This production is a real family affair, with the parents at the helm of production, a son looking after the dairy herd and a daughter minding the accounts. Their ice creams have won countless prestigious awards and is available in many of the country’s leading restaurants.

It’s the rich farmland and happy cows that results in such a naturally delicious product. The land is lush, thanks to the area’s unique micro-climate which makes it a little warmer than other parts and helps make the milk for the ice cream so creamy and rich.

The first member of the flavour family, Vanilla Bean, is still the head honcho, but so many other flavours have since been added. Glastry Farm Ice Cream produces 18 luxury ice cream flavours and 7 sorbet flavours. These include Yellowman Honeycomb, Rhubard and Custard, Berry Berry Blueberry and Irish Whiskey.
