If anyone remembers this delicious ice cream.. is there anything out there that tastes just as great as what Neepawa made?

Neepawa ice cream was the best ice cream ever made. I ate tons when I was a kid. Wish they still made it. I find velvet dip is close....have you tried it

Yes Pride Dairy in Bottineau

sell it in bulk do you know? like a carton like some ice creams do?

Does sell it by the litre, in that $7.00 range I think.  
 
"Chapmans" hard ice cream is about the best in my opinion.

I remember Velvet and also Blue Boy, but I think it was called Velvet?...whatever the name, it was good. It was made from local dairy milk and cream at the creamery there.  
 
I believe it was made from natural ingredients and had a very high cream content...probably lower sugar than most have today too. That and cream is what helps make an ice cream more naturally creamy. You can't beat all natural.  
 
There is a Velvet Ice Cream in Ohio that has all natural ingredients that I found in a search. It's website makes the ice cream there intriguing.  
 
I wish one could compare the old ice cream side by side with others...mind you, then there would be no need to eat another kind of ice cream. lol

I remember separating the cream from the milk that our parents hand milked from the cows. We loaded the 5 gallon cream cans in the trunk of the car and took them to the creamery in Neepawa. Mom was paid by the creamery based on the quality of the cream.  
Lots of times we were treated by the owner with a bit of freshly made icecream. Good memories.

I will definitely be asking for a few before they close in October. LOL

awhile since I ate ice cream from Velvet dip or anywhere. I try not to face those temptations at ice cream parlors.
