Kawartha Dairy has been making great family memories for over 85 years. We are proud to continue to be a 100% Canadian-owned company, still operated by the same family that founded it in 1937. Although the company has grown tremendously from its early days, it remains headquartered in the small lakeside Canadian town of Bobcaygeon where it was founded.

Today Kawartha Dairy operates 13 retail stores and services a wide range of customers, from grocery stores to food service establishments and of course, ice cream parlours. Kawartha Dairy entered the BC market through scoop shops and grocery stores in 2024 and we are very excited to have opened our first Kawartha Dairy Store in Western Canada in Britannia Beach in Spring 2025.
