Chapman’s Ice Cream Company
Chapman’s is Canada’s largest independent ice-cream maker, located in Markdale, Ontario, just south of Georgian Bay.
Chapman’s came into being in 1973, when David and Penny Chapman bought the creamery in Markdale, with the dream of producing a quality ice-cream at a family affordable price. Their interest in the concerns of their customers is still evident in their range of treats to suit different tastes and needs.
To avoid being a burden on the town, Chapman’s has its own wastewater treatment plant. This environmentally-friendly attitude is also evident in their use of recyclable materials for packaging.
