The Dartmoor Ice Cream Co The Dartmoor Ice Cream Company set up ice cream operations in Princetown two years ago. Two friends, Carol and Sue, had a vision of making ice cream as close as possible to the homemade version that they could produce in their own kitchens. They set about developing their range, making as many of their own chunks and sauces as they could. They wanted to represent the Dartmoor area well by making a high-quality product and chose to use milk, cream and eggs from local farms. The resulting product is rich, creamy and delicious. Despite the pandemic, they’ve seen a growth in demand this year as word of their delicious range of ice creams and sorbets has spread. This autumn, their efforts were rewarded with success at the Food Drink Devon Awards, where they won seven Gold and one Platinum for their ice creams and sorbets. Sue describes feeling ‘stunned’ when she was told of the awards. She says: “The news came as an enormous boost. We’ve worked so hard trialling and testing and experimenting in the kitchen. Some experiments were dropped if they didn’t make the grade, so the awards were huge affirmation that the hours we spent weren’t wasted.”

This is Dartmoor Ice Cream Co’s second year of operation having had a busy summer selling to restaurants, pubs and shops across Devon, as well as households in the local area. They are currently working on new flavours for next year and are hoping to build on their success. Carol adds: “It’s hugely important to us that we represent Dartmoor well, with consistently high-quality products. We hope this will contribute towards the tourist experience across Dartmoor and beyond, as well as providing local people with delicious ice cream.” The team want to extend their enormous thanks for the wonderful support they have received from local people, as they continue to fly the flag for quality produce on Dartmoor.
