History of Lopez Island Creamery

Lopez Island Creamery was started in the mid 1990’s by two women on Lopez Island in Washington’s San Juan Islands who loved ice cream. They purchased some recipes and a few pieces of equipment and started learning. As time went by, they created, improved, modified and finally marketed their product, selling ice cream cones at nearby fairs and events.

The business steadily grew as the quality of the ice cream became known. When the original owners sought to move on, residents Jan and Jim Bruce discovered the availability of the business and in 2004 they became the new owners of LOPEZ ISLAND CREAMERY. They have made it their goal to widen the market into more fine retail stores and the best restaurants while keeping the superb quality of the original product using only the best possible ingredients. That means whenever possible only natural ingredients are used. The cream comes from cows raised in the Pacific Northwest. The chocolate comes from the Netherlands, vanilla from Mexico, cinnamon from Indonesia, pecans from Texas and berries from nearby Skagit Valley. Today LOPEZ ISLAND CREAMERY ice cream is available at more locations in Northwest Washington then ever before. More fairs, festivals and other events will experience the smooth, fresh richness of one of the finest treats you’ll ever taste. The mere mention of LOPEZ ISLAND CREAMERY ice cream will bring oohs! and ahs! from those who have had the experience.

One of the most exciting events of 2005 was the opening of the new factory at 3185 Fisherman Bay Road, just south of Lopez Village on Lopez Island. In 2008, we expanded into the Seattle area placing our product into several fine food markets.
