Prairie Farms ice cream is introducing its signature vanilla ice cream in a larger size format that's perfect for families to keep on hand to ensure they have enough of the sweet treat to go around this summer. The ice cream now comes in a four-quart pail that's accented by a handle hoop that extends overtop the lid to maximize ease of carrying and access at home. The ice cream is made in small batches, just like the brand's original offerings, and is crafted with only the finest ingredients despite its larger size format.
CEO/EVP Matt McClelland commented on the new Prairie Farms ice cream product saying, "Nothing captures the taste of summer like ice cream, and the only thing better than our Premium Vanilla Small Batch Ice Cream is more of it. We're thrilled to launch America's first and only premium vanilla ice cream in a convenient family-size pail. We received many requests for a larger size, so adding this unique option to our lineup in time for National Ice Cream Month made sense."
