TBH I don't like their ice cream. However, this company always comes to the plate for their employees and the country. So I will still buy a pint here and there.
I feel the same, but after reading about how they have been being a stand-up Canadian company, I will continue to buy this through our troubling times.
BTW these premium flavors are actually quite good.
I'll give those a try!
We started buying only Chapman's after talking to a trucker who delivered to them for years and had lots of great things to say about how they operated and the quality of ingredients. Myself, I think it's the best industrial scale brand available to us.
Their lactose free is good
But they aren’t good to their employees, paying below market rate and surveillance that puts Amazon to shame lets them have a lot more flexibility

Yeah, they lean on “Markdale is cheaper than Toronto”
You consider that being bad to their employees?
It doesn’t dispute anything I said
It also doesn't support anything you said. I was mainly commenting on how you consider Markdale being cheaper than Toronto being bad for their employees.
If you make 100k in Toronto then they would consider you were 70k
If you’re worth $20 an hour then as per the company posting they consider you worth $18
And you have to put up with any abuse that comes about because there’s nothing else for you to do in Markdale, while I support people moving it’s unrealistic to pretend that’s an easy decision to make.
Saw so many people buying this specifically in the grocery store today
I support Chapman's because their No Sugar Added stuff is freaking delicious.
If you live in Southern Ontario. Another Canadian Brand is Reid’s Dairy.
And Kawartha Dairy.
In Quebec, we love Coaticook ice cream!
Coaticook is the GOAT
In this small size, in Montreal area you can also find the brand Bilboquet that is absolutely delicious.
That salty caramel crunch might be the best ice cream I’ve ever had. The cherry is good too but I don’t like chocolate in my cherry ice cream, so I’d personally prefer a regular black cherry. But I still enjoyed it. My wife also got a tub of another flavour, I think a chocolate one, but we haven’t opened that one yet.
I agree. Salt and caramel are such a good combo. There were a couple of chocolate flavors, but the only other one that caught my attention was a cold brew coffee, I believe.
I didn’t notice that one. I might have to pick it up though, it sounds like it would be pretty good
that shit goes so fuckin hard
Check their sugar content. Some of their flavours have dramatically more sugar than others. If it feels off, you may have stepped on a sugar bomb. At least that's how it was for me when I had their strawberry from the same product line. 😂 Vanilla was great. Lower sugar content, similar to Kawartha.
The salt and caramel is 36g per 175ml serving. So yeah, high. I've been finding that with Canadian energy drinks as well. I have just switched to a zero refined sugar diet the past couple of months. I'll probably continue to buy Chapman's and just take it to my workplace.
Oh I'm not advising against Chapman's per-se. I'm just informing in case you care about that, so you could switch flavours since they're not high-sugar across the board.
If I recall correctly, Chapman's ice cream is made in strictly nut-free facilities, making it safe for people with nut allergies. That is a very big deal.
They need to make vegan options. And I'm not talking overpriced sorbet.
Have you tried So Delicious brand? Danone Canada is the parent company. It is amazingly good.
Holy shit, I haven't seen that brand in years! I'll have to see where it's sold.
Edit: scratch that. They are an American company.
