In the early 1970’s our customers started consuming much more fat free milk than whole milk and suddenly Shaw Farm had a problem on its hands, more cream than we knew what to do with! Selling this product on the wholesale market is about as useful as feeding it to pigs since the giant dairies don’t want to pay much to a local farm for their cream. One day a salesman was at the farm and said to Nancy and Warren Shaw Sr., “you’re crazy for not making ice cream!”
They were already working upwards of 70 hours a week and couldn’t imagine how they could ever find the time for manufacturing ice cream on top of this all. Of course being the “dream team” as far as making things work and wanting to bring the farm to its maximum potential, they did it! They traveled to auctions to buy second hand equipment and met with other dairy farmers all over the country whom were happy and willing to help another farmer! They obtained an ice cream formula and the recipes to make certain flavors which are the same formulas that we still use today!
Just like that, Warren and Nancy created an entirely new product line which without today, we may not still be here!
Since then the ice cream business on the farm has grown with Warren Jr’s addition of the on-site ice cream stand and now Mark Shaw’s additional flavors and higher efficiency.
