Highland Fold Ice Cream

HIGHLAND FOLD GARDEN & BARN ICE CREAM EXPERIENCE

The passion behind Highland Fold Ice Cream is making the best, most natural, sustainable, and ethical ice cream we can, and serving it with delicious homemade accompaniments that explore and showcase the wonderful produce found in this corner of Argyll.

Our home is on Achinreir Farm, on the outskirts of Barcaldine village on the south shore of Loch Creran in the beautiful area of North Lorn.

The farm is mostly pasture and woodland, providing ideal natural foraging and shelter for Highland cattle. These hardy native cows have a very high butterfat content in their milk, making it perfect for ice cream.

We make our ice cream and accompanying puddings, bakes, and toppings from scratch here on the farm. Our team of ice cream makers and bakers continuously adds exciting new flavours to expand our range of seasonal, local ingredients, many of which we grow, forage, or gather with neighbours and friends.

Our signature ice cream the ‘Highlander’; is made with milk from the Highland Cows that live here on the farm; it’s a delicious gelato style ice cream with delicate flavours found or grown on the farm.

Our ‘Natural Flavours’ ice cream is made with Scottish organic milk which we buy in. We create a wide range of flavours from local berries to ethically sourced coffee and chocolate.

We are especially proud of our vibrant non-dairy ‘Fruit Sorbets’ made with freshly prepared fruit and herbs, many of which are grown on the farm or close to home.

A visit to Highland Fold Garden & Barn is a truly unique experience; after a short walk through the farm, you can enjoy delicious ice cream, coffee, puddings, bakes, speciality teas and home-made cordials in the beautiful surroundings of our converted barn and peaceful garden spaces.

You may even catch a glimpse of some of the farm’s Highland Cows.

We have a small local creatives gallery in one of the old steading buildings, displaying beautiful handcrafts and artworks made by people in our community.
