Ottawa residents will be able to get a taste of Kawartha Dairy ice cream at a west end ice cream shop this summer.

Kawartha Dairy has announced plans to open a new drive-thru location on Carling Avenue, near the Carlingwood Mall.

“We’re excited to share that Kawartha Dairy is opening a new location in Ottawa this summer,” the company said in a Facebook post.

“We can’t wait to bring our premium dairy products, made with fresh milk and fresh cream from Canadian farms, to our new Drive-Thru location at 2200 Carling Avenue, Ottawa. Here’s to making great family memories together.”

Jack and Ila Crowe started Kawartha Dairy in 1937, and it remains 100 per cent Canadian owned. It is headquartered in Bobcaygeon, Ont., and has stores in Ontario and British Columbia. You can also buy Kawartha Dairy ice cream at grocery stores, including Farm Boy, Food Basics, Real Canadian Superstore and Costco.

Kawartha Dairy says on its website that it gets its fresh milk and cream through the Dairy Farmers of Ontario.

According to the website, Kawartha Dairy is hiring for its location in Ottawa.
