Tesco Northern Ireland Expands Ice Cream Offerings with Drayne's Farm

Tesco Northern Ireland has taken a step towards supporting local produce by incorporating Drayne's Farm ice cream into its product line. The ice cream, known for its quality, will be available in family-sized tubs of 950ml in most of its large stores throughout Northern Ireland.

Drayne's Farm, a family-owned enterprise located in Lisburn, has been engaged in dairy farming since 1932. Today, the farm processes and manufactures its dairy products onsite, utilizing milk from its herd. Drayne's Madagascan Vanilla flavor is crafted using milk and cream from the farm, enhanced with premium Royal Bourbon vanilla imported from Madagascar. The Honeycomb Crunch flavor incorporates pieces of handmade honeycomb sourced from Aunt Sandra's Candy Factory in Belfast.

Owen Drayne, Managing Director at Drayne's Farm, expressed his pride in partnering with Tesco Northern Ireland, emphasizing their dedication to quality and local ingredients. Tesco Northern Ireland's Buying Manager, Orla Doherty, highlighted the unique appeal of locally produced ice cream and the expertise behind Drayne's Farm.

This collaboration with Drayne's Farm is part of Tesco's strategic commitment to showcase Northern Ireland's local producers and local products, particularly as summer presents an opportune time for such offerings. The initiative reflects Tesco's broader goal to bring high-quality local food offerings to their customers.
