It couldn’t be better timing.

With the April sunshine giving us all Cornetto cravings, a brand new ice cream shop is about to start scooping something so much more wholesome on Kinsale’s Market Street.

The Good Dairy Company Ice Cream shop opens this Sunday, April 13th, serving farm to fork ice cream, handmade on a dairy farm in nearby Nohoval using milk and cream from the owners’ pedigree Friesian cows.

Inside, there’s a row of tractor seats where you can perch to enjoy your ice cream (the flavours are cow-themed, from Salted Caramoo and Udderly Vanilla to Muddy Boots and Chocolate Cow’s Lick) while people watching if it rains.

The adorable shop is the latest venture by Catherine Good and her husband, Tom, whose business The Good Dairy Company began making Cork’s first farmhouse ice cream in 2021. Their delicious range of natural ice creams are also available in Lidl and SuperValu stores.

As parents to four young kids on their Nohoval family farm, the couple have had plenty of little taste testers ensuring this ice cream is truly family-approved.

“I have poured my heart into our new ice-cream shop. Bringing a bright farm themed shop for all to enjoy.” Catherine announced on social media.

“My journey started 3.5 years ago and I am so thrilled to think we have come so far!”

Swing by this Sunday to show them some love.
