History
Gifford's Ice Cream began to take shape in New England on a small Maine dairy farm. Audrey and Randall Gifford started whipping up small batches of ice cream using Audrey's parents' simple recipes for strawberry, peach, wild blueberry, and coffee ice cream. Neighbors clamored for a taste, and soon the family was making ice cream year-round to keep up with demand. The story began in New England in the late 1800s, when the great-great grandfather started a home-delivery milk and ice cream business. Generations later, Audrey and Randall Gifford expanded that work. Today, Gifford's has 100 unique ice cream flavors, frozen yogurts, sherbets, and sorbets all made from scratch.
