In 1973, David and Penny Chapman bought an old creamery and started a small business making ice cream. They built up their company bit by bit, while staying true to where it all began in #Markdale, a village south of Georgian Bay.

“That was the closest thing to war I ever want to be in.” – Crissie Nash, Markdale, ON

“A person came to us and asked, ‘do you know anybody stupid enough to buy this creamery in Markdale?'”- Penny Chapman- Markdale, ON

“The community has given a lot to them, but they’ve given a lot back to the community, and that’s pretty amazing.”- Eric Robertson- Markdale, ON

Ashley Chapman’s father, David Chapman, gained a reputation for his way with cream and steel.
