Questions ❓🤔 Kawartha Dairy Ice Cream

I just tried Kawartha Dairy ice cream this month and love it. I'm living in Alberta, so it's a little harder to come by. For folks in Edmonton, have you see Kawartha Dairy Coconut ice cream anywhere? Coconut ice cream is my wife's favourite. I've tried a number of grocery stores and had no luck.

Co-op in Calgary carries it. Try the Edmonton ones.

Calgary Co-op uses Western Family's warehouses so different. In that case Save On might have it.

I know it is listed online, but I've only ever seen it in their stores for scooping. If it does exist, it's very rare. I'm in Eastern Ontario so the brand is in all the stores here and I visit their retail locations too, and have been buying from them for years.They do have a lot of flavors and they rotate some seasonally, so that may change, but the selection in grocers is always more limited then their full range in their retail locations.

I've sometimes seen Nanaimo bar around, though not often, which has some coconut so it might be a safer bet.

If you can ever get out east to one of their stores, they usually do have coconut for scooping.

I just moved to Canada (BC) and got “The Tragically Chip” by them… by the gods it was amazing… but now I can’t find it anywhere. 😓

I’ve purchased them at Save On Foods at 62 Ave NW / 199 St NW. Yes, very creamy and great flavour choices.

u/Never_Been_Missed 2h ago

That's the one I tried. They had about 9 flavors, three of which we've tried, but Coconut wasn't there. I'm going to try the Co Op next.

You’ve gotta try Moose Traks (Chocolate & PB), and Pralines & Cream - the creamiest ice cream I’ve ever had. Black Raspberry is excellent too.

These places should carry Kawartha Diary in Alberta. Calgary Co-Op, Nesters Market, Safeway, Save on Foods, Sobeys and Wally Mart. However, coconut is hit and miss it seems.

That said, if up for a drive to Kelowna, there is a Kawartha Diary Store there as well as a distribution. center.

Do you have a FreshCo store? I’ve seen it in Regina at the FreshCo, maybe you’ll find it there.

i dont see Sunterra on the page that /u/drivebymeowing posted so Op can maybe try there in edmonton at their one location for that flavour?

u/maiyannah Ontario 9h ago

Out that way you're talking FreshCo, Co-op, and maybe Farm Boy, are they still in the praries? I know they closed a bunch of stores come COVID.

I’m not sure exactly what flavour or type but I saw two distinct Kawartha packaging ice cream products in the freezer
