Golden North

Golden North is an Australian ice cream maker headquartered in Laura, South Australia, and has been in business since 1923.[1]

History

Starting as a dairy farm operated by the Bowker family, the business took on ice-making to keep its scalded milk fresh in the hot climate as it expanded its sales territory to Broken Hill in New South Wales.[1] The Golden North brand was adopted in 1948. The business was acquired by Farmers Union in 1972, then in 1991, it became a subsidiary of National Foods. In 2001, a group of South Australian investors brought the business back under local private ownership. In 2006, they expanded their plant. Their flavours include a distinctive honey ice cream. Besides manufacturing ice cream under the Golden North brand, they make generic brand ice cream for sale in supermarkets.
