Our Story

From Our Family to Yours — Handcrafted With Purpose

mobile-truckHappy Cow Ice Cream began with a simple dream of founders Dan and Wendy what started as a small mom-and-pop shop has grown into something truly special. Fast-forward, Presley & Josh wanted to build a life in Fernie, create something meaningful, and do it on their own terms.

We're still proudly family-owned and operated. On any given day, you might find three generations working in the back — us, our parents, and our kids. That's not just a fun fact; it's who we are.

Made the Way Food Should Be

Our values were shaped around tables at our favourite local spots — the small restaurants that take the time to do things right, make food from scratch, and actually care about what goes on the plate. That's exactly the standard we hold ourselves to.

Every batch of Happy Cow ice cream is handcrafted from scratch using real, simple ingredients. No artificial flavours. No artificial colouring. No additives, no preservatives, and nothing you can't pronounce. We source local and organic ingredients whenever possible, and we keep our recipes intentionally simple — because quality doesn't need a long ingredient list.

For Everyone at Your Table

We're making the ice cream we want to eat and the ice cream we're proud to serve our own children. Clean ingredients, honest flavours, and the kind of care that only comes from a family business where every scoop carries our name.

Because when it's made with purpose, you can taste the difference.

The Sweet Truth

I really loved the ice cream here! They had so many gluten free options! My Smores ice cream had actually marshmallow mixed in.
Expensive but good. The chocolate raspberry flavour was *chefs kiss*, they should definitely bring it back. The Haskap flavour was great too.
Good ice cream and reasonable price.
The staff was so nice and the ice cream sandwiches are so good! It wasnt overly sweet and the cookies had a nice texture to it. The raspberry sorbet was better than store bought sorbets
