Martin & Lorraine have been making their own ice cream now for 4 years. It is made from full fat Jersey milk at their family farm in Summerbridge, on the outskirts of Harrogate, North Yorkshire. Their herd of 40 Jersey's are milked twice a day with the milk going from the cow to the bulk tank to be rapidly cooled to 2°c, then it is fed through to the pasteuriser and after pasteurisation through to the ice cream machine and finally the freezer. So, in approximately 8 hours it has gone from the cow to the freezer ensuring absolute freshness.

As well as being made from natural milk, none of the products are flavoured using artificial ingredients.

The ice cream is available wholesale to hotels, restaurants, shops and farm shops or retail through Farmers Markets and the Farm Shop at Pool-in-Wharfedale and come in a variety of sized packaging - 110ml, 1/2 litre, 1 litre and 4 litre for the ice cream, 10oz for the Jersey Cream and 5oz yogurt pots. Currently, Birchfield Family Dairies supply outlets from Cleckheaton to Bridlington and if you would like to find out more about purchasing ice cream then please contact Martin or Lorraine.

They attend many events and garden parties throughout the year with their Ice Cream Trailer such as the Food and Drink Festival at Leyburn, North Yorkshire (1st, 2nd and 3rd May 2004) selling ice cream in cornets and containers.

There are 30 different flavoured ice creams to choose from, 5 flavoured sorbets and 7 flavours of yogurt so you are sure to find at least one that will satisfy your taste buds.
