Väddö Gårdsmejeri: Deliciously smooth ice cream, fresh from the farm

Väddö Gårdsmejeri produces yummy ice cream, made of milk from the dairy farm’s own happy cows. This is local produce at its best, with tempting flavours such as cookie dough, almond and caramel, and rum raisin.

Beautifully located in Roslagen, Stockholm’s northern archipelago, the dairy farm has been in the Edlund family since 1912. “This is still an active farm with around 60 happy cows,” says Johan Fransson, farmer and director. “Our cows are the base for everything we do. When visiting, you can say hello to the cows, enjoy some ice cream on the grounds, and even go on a cow safari if you want – and you can see how everything is connected.”

The most delicious ice cream is produced here, with irresistible creations available for visitors in the farm’s ice cream café Bondens Glasskalas, situated next to Väddö canal. “We make ice cream of milk from our own cows on the farm, so this is true farm-to-table,” says Fransson. “The freedom to be creative with flavours and textures is fantastic; basically, we make whatever we think is tasty ourselves.”

Bondens Glasskalas serves mouth-watering creations such as Mormors Mums (grandma’s yummy treat), with vanilla ice cream, roasted almonds and caramel swirls, topped with fudge sauce, whipped cream, salted caramel, fudge and biscuits. Bestselling flavours overall include rum raisin and cookie dough, but the farmer’s own personal favourite is mango.

Väddö Gårdsmejeri has recently invested in new production facilities and equipment, and the team is looking forward to developing new ice cream flavours and packaging. Fransson explains; “We’re curious to see what these investments will mean for our business, and we’re hoping to reach more people with our ice cream.”

The ice cream from Väddö Gårdsmejeri is available at Bondens Glasskalas on the farm and its ice cream kiosks in Norrtälje, as well as supermarkets and restaurants in the Uppland region. In addition to the ice cream café, Väddö Gårdsmejeri also has its own burger restaurant, Bonden & Burgaren, as well as a farm café and shop with local delicacies – making this an ideal destination for a summer’s day outing with the family.
