Starting in 1978 Homestead began mainly as a Baked Goods shop in the community that provided Turkey Suppers to its neighbours on select days and at that time only bought and carried ice cream and yogurt as a side option within the family run store.
Since then as the store passed through owners it’s morphed from making baked goods to making and serving their very own ice cream within the community of Saskatoon.
The now owner, and small town, 4th generation farm kid turned Entrepreneur, Allen Malberg, has carried on with local Ice Cream shop feel and dream but has added his own passions to the mix by changing all the packaging to recyclable materials, using as many local ingredients as possible and making sure that the Dairy for the ice cream comes only from Western Canadian Dairy Producers. After talking with him on these subjects it was a no brainer for us that his background, vision and passion matched our ideals for partnership.
Homestead designs novelty ice cream treats and makes over 1,000 flavours of ice cream in house. That number is growing every day. Not only do they get creative for their own store, but they work to develop new unique tastes for the small businesses they partner with.
