Since 1989 Beechdean Dairies have been producing high quality Dairy Ice Cream which is supplied to a number of specialist retail outlets and high profile venues around the country, and are now one of the UK’s leading Ice Cream manufacturers.
Beechdean are passionate about their product and pledge to make the highest quality ice cream and provide excellent service and support, whilst being committed to the welfare of the beautiful Jersey cows.
Andrew & Susie Howard are the co-founders of the business. They met at University when they were both studying Agricultural Science. Farming was in the blood for Susie as her family had been producing top quality milk for 25 years. After coming up with the business idea, they researched the market and attended a one day ice cream manufacturing course. It all made perfect sense considering their backgrounds, and in June 1989 the first Beechdean Farmhouse Dairy Ice Cream was produced.
Production of Beechdean Farmhouse Dairy Ice Cream is carried out on the family’s 600-acre dairy farm in the Chiltern Hills and at the state of the art new factory on a dairy farm in Cheshire.
The company is going from strength to strength as they approach their 21st year in business and currently produce a staggering 8 million litres of ice cream a year.
Always known for its 100% commitment, Beechdean is proud of its Ice Cream range which is free from artificial colourings, flavourings or additives, suitable for vegetarians and is gluten free.
