Shepherds Ice Cream

We make genuine artisan sheep's milk and dairy free ice creams and real fruit sorbets on our farm in the Black Mountains. The exceptional richness of sheep's milk means that you can make ice cream from the whole milk, resulting in a smooth, creamy gelato that is much lower in fat than other ice creams. And because we make all of our flavours from scratch we always offer something unusual, as well as the old favourites. Our dairy free ice creams are a natural extension of our work adapting recipe's to suit sheep's milk, and over the last few years we have developed a dairy free menu which includes highlights such as peanut butter and chocolate stracciatella and coconut and mango ripple that have become mainstays of our menu. As sheep's milk is much lower in lactose than cow's milk there are many lactose intolerant people among our followers. Our sorbets are made from our own spring water using locally grown softfruits. We have been taking our ice cream to festivals in our vintage ice cream vans, trailers, trike and marquees for more than 35 years. Our aesthetic is somewhere between vintage fairground and farmhouse. Our Marquee and trailer menu's also offer ice cream shakes, homemade cookie sandwiches, homemade hot sauces and toppings for an added ice cream parlour experience. Because we have a variety of different units we can cater to anything from a private garden party to Glastonbury Festival. And because we have been doing this for so long, you can expect a professional service. Our values are to source quality ingredients as locally as we can, make homemade as much as possible and sell honest, healthy delicious ice cream at fair prices.
