Scotsburn Ice Cream Company

The story of Scotsburn Ice Cream Company began in the spring of 1900, when many local farmers decided to build a creamery, with government assistance, so they could process their cream into butter to sell it and make a better life for themselves and their community. This jointly owned company, established in the picturesque village of Scotsburn, Nova Scotia became known as Scotsburn Creamery. Over a century later and now known as Scotsburn Ice Cream Company, we’ve evolved and changed significantly to become a leading processor of ice cream, novelties and frozen desserts throughout Canada. Scotsburn has gained a reputation with both consumers and customers for providing superior products and service; confirmed by the numerous awards for innovation and excellence in quality products and service received over the years. This has led to Scotsburn becoming the most recognized brand of ice cream in the Atlantic provinces, and the most sought after producer of private label ice cream and novelty products. Scotsburn’s three major production facilities, located throughout the Atlantic region, provide the capabilities required to process a large number of ice cream, novelties and frozen desserts for a variety of recognized store brand labels which are distributed across Canada and beyond.
