Ice Creamery

Waitete Orchard ice cream is made on the premises by John Thomas, in an approved food manufacturing area specially designed for the production of small batches of high quality ice cream, gelato and sorbets.

The products are based on old fashioned traditional recipes using only natural ingredients which are sourced (wherever possible) locally.

Waitete Orchard ice creams do not need the addition of colours, flavours and unnecessary additives to make them special but rather lots of real fruits and ingredients to give a true strong flavoured treat. The ice cream contains egg yolk for added creaminess and richness and uses fresh from the farm Waikato cream.

There are many ice cream flavours available: some old favourites like real vanilla bean, fresh strawberry and rich chocolate and some that are beautifully unusual like liquorice, fig and honey and lemoncello. The sorbets are natural, full of fruit and fruit juices and are dairy free - so refreshing!
