What began as a small ice cream shop in Cavendish in 1983 has quickly turned into a brand as identifiable to Prince Edward Island as Anne of Green Gables. From their delectable dairy creations to their extensive line of witty merch, experience the joy and excitement COWS brings to both locals and visitors of all ages!

Taste the difference quality makes at COWS, where the finest all-natural ingredients, an old secret recipe and time-honoured techniques are used to create the ice cream named Canada’s Best by Reader’s Digest. Nowadays, COWS produces more than 32 innovative flavours sold in stores across Canada but it hasn’t forgotten its humble roots, its commitment to quality or altered its decades-old secret recipe.

Since launching their Avonlea Clothbound Cheddar, named the World’s Best Vintage Cheddar at the World Cheese Awards in 2015 and the cheese that started it all, COWS Creamery has released six other cheese products that have made their way on to many a cheese board across the country. The latest cheese release is a creamy Blue Moo (Blue Cheese) and is their first venture into non-cheddar cheese. Also available in their shop is their irresistible COWS Creamery Butter, which contains 84% butter fat producing a richer, creamier taste compared to regular butter.
