Burkes Farm Ice Cream is the innovation of Bernie & John Burke, who have been dairy farming in Tara in County Meath for the over 20 years.
We decided to add value to our milk by producing our own premium ice cream from our Jersey Cows. In September 2006 we made our first public appearance and launched our premium ice cream range at the National Ploughing Championships. From the start, feedback from consumers was very positive and this encouraged us to launch our retail range in 2007.
We also craft a range of refreshing sorbets for the food service sector.
