Hudsonville Ice Cream

The Hudsonville Creamery celebrated it's 75th year of producing high quality ice cream in April of 2001.

The business plan at Hudsonville Ice Cream is simple:
"Make great ice cream with the best ingredients at a fair price."
For all those 75 years the basic recipe for ice cream has remained the same; milk, cream, sugar and flavoring.

Most of the milk used in making the ice cream comes from dairy farms within five miles of the plant. The milk arrives fresh at the plant, is then pasteurized, homogenized and the resulting mix is then lightly frozen. The ice cream production day begins with the making of vanilla and moves to the darker flavors as the day progresses. The finished ice cream is then stored at 20 degrees below zero until shipped.

The Hudsonville Dairy is able to produce 1500 gallons an hour. Most of the ice cream produced by Hudsonville is sold in West Michigan from the Indiana border to the Mackinac Bridge in Northern Michigan.
