Ice cream the way it should be

Made right here on our family farm using fresh milk and cream from our own herd. No shortcuts. No unnecessary ingredients. Just proper Sussex ice cream made by people who've spent their lives around cows.

Real milk from our own herd. Every tub starts with milk produced just a few hundred metres away.

Family Run since 2011. Built from scratch by Mum and Dad after one holiday changed everything.

Proper, fresh Ingredients. Fresh cream. Proper flavours. Made to be enjoyed.

It all started with a holiday...

After visiting a small dairy farm in the Lake District, Mum and Dad came home with an idea.

If one farmer could make enough ice cream during the summer to support the farm through winter, why couldn't we?

So in 2010 we started from scratch.

We built the dairy ourselves, learnt everything as we went and by May 2011 Downsview Farm Ice Cream was born.

Today we're still a family-run farm producing ice cream, milk, cream, yoghurt and butter using milk from our own herd.

So, what’s your flavour?

Fancy flavours come and go. Great vanilla never does. We specialise in the classics because when the ingredients are this good, they deserve the spotlight.
