Colorado Dairy, Churned by Hand

Great ice cream starts with the base. At Josh & John’s, ours is a blend refined over 40 years of experience and made only for us.

A recipe that’s ours alone. Robinson Dairy blends our ice cream base to our exact specifications. Robinson Dairy is part of Meadow Gold Dairy, a farmer-owned brand of the Dairy Farmers of America cooperative. Their southern Colorado distribution site sits a quarter mile from our Churn Barn in Colorado Springs, so our base has a very short trip before we churn it.

What’s in it. Our base is made with pure sugar, not corn syrup. We don’t use mono- or diglycerides. A small amount of natural gums, less than 1% of the mix, keeps the texture smooth.

Honest about the extras. Our base is simple, but flavors with cookies, candy, and other mix-ins contain whatever those ingredients contain. See our Flavors & Nutrition page for nutrition facts, and ask any scoop shop team member about ingredients and allergens.

Colorado Proud. We’re members of Colorado Proud, the Colorado Department of Agriculture’s program that connects people with Colorado-made products.

Made by hand, start to finish. Every batch is churned slowly at our Churn Barn off Garden of the Gods Road, then delivered to our shops in Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, and Loveland.
