From the Farm to Fenwick
AWARD-winning North East ice-cream maker Archer’s Jersey Ice Cream has teamed up with Newcastle department store Fenwick to offer delicious, farm-fresh ice-cream to city centre shoppers.
The ice-cream is made daily on the farm in County Durham, using the milk from Archer’s own pedigree Jersey herd. This means that all your favourite flavours travel from the rural slopes of the Tees Valley to the eclectic atmosphere of the Fenwick Food Hall within hours.
Company director Susan Archer believes it is this combination of excellent ingredients and fast turn-around that makes the ice-cream so special. She said: ‘You can’t get that quality elsewhere because we make our ice-cream so quickly, within two to three hours of milking.’
And she is looking forward to the new association with Fenwick, which has a long-standing, well-deserved reputation for supporting local food producers. ‘Fenwick will be a fantastic outlet for Archer’s ice-cream and it will be great to be a part of the store’s platform for locally-sourced, quality food,’ she said.
Archer’s make around 40 different flavours with perennial favourites Hokey Pokey and Simply Jersey topping the taste charts. Last year the company won the Gold Taste of North East England Award at the North East England Tourism Awards.
The city-centre concession will be the third Archer’s outlet in the region. It is already made and sold on site at New Moor Farm, outside Darlington, and at The Station, Richmond, North Yorkshire.
