We started Chilly Philly at a time when we understood "Sustainability" to be just another name for environmentalism the terms "Local food systems" and "Local economies" were not even a part of our vocabulary. What we did know was that Philadelphia had been losing more of its industrial base every year, which meant that jobs were leaving the area, as well as tax dollars that could finance the city's police department, schools, and other vital public services. One of the affected industries was ice cream manufacturing, because some of the best known brands at one time came out of Philadelphia. Since Southeastern Pennsylvania had some of the best dairy land in the country, the Delaware Valley area had an able and ready labor pool, and since Philadelphians love their ice cream, starting an ice cream company in the area seemed to be a logical thing to do.

Chilly Philly opened its doors in 1999. Our use of local labor and hormone-free dairy are two of the reasons the company was awarded the White Dog Foundation’s “Best Sustainable Food Company prize.


But what about taste?

Currently we have two flavors – vanilla, and vanilla malt chip. Our use of the finest ingredients and our special “slow-cooking” process have garnered many accolades and a loyal following. The June, 2005 edition of Philadelphia Magazine commended our vanilla for its “in-your-face richness” and a “potent vanilla flavor.”

Chilly Philly Ice Cream comes in three gallon and pint size containers.
