Premium demand for ice cold cream of the dairy crop

The sweltering weather has resulted in a bumper crop of ice cream on several farms around the country.

Many are working flat out to keep up with the demand for freshly frozen farm ice cream which is coming from retailers, restaurants, ice cream shops as well as vendors with carts who are selling scoops in the fields at festivals and on the beaches.

Since the start of the hot weather the phone has been “hopping off the hook” at Linnalla Farm in the Burren while sales have also been rising at Baldwin’s Farm in Waterford and Boulabane Farm in Tipperary.
