Since selling their first scoop in December 2017, they've now built their own creamery in Nelson, won a whole bunch of awards for their icecream and export their premium icecreams to Singapore and Australia. Made using real milk, real cream and in most cases local fruit, Appleby Farms Icecream is a worthy addition to your supermarket trolley.
On the show today we talk about:
- Dairy farming in New Zealand - how it's different from the rest of the world
- A2 milk - what is it really and what's the fuss?
- Growing a dairy farming business and how icecream came in to the picture
- Whacky flavours v/s the originals v/s the best ingredients, the secret to being a successful icecream brand
Quotes:
"Having been involved in a few startups before, I can say that it always is more difficult than you expect, it always costs more and it always takes longer."
"95% of the dairy cow population live in a corral or a shed. They are industrial factory farms. In comparison, in NZ our animals stay outside all year round and are able to express a lot of their natural behaviours. This leads to a really high quality product"
