Off Track Ice Cream is a wonderful place to eat delicious ice cream with local, pasture raised and organic ingredients. The vast majority of their ingredients are sourced locally. Their ice cream is only made with real food ingredients. They do not use stabilizers, artificial flavorings or additives. The base ingredients of their traditional ice cream flavors are: cream, milk, cane sugar and egg yolks. For their vegan flavors, they use cashews, coconut cream, cane sugar and sunflower oil as their base ingredients.
Their flavors are unique and delicious and they support many local farms and businesses. Their traditional ice creams are made with Lowcountry Creamery cream and milk and pasture raised eggs from Wishbone Heritage Farms. Most of their ingredients are sourced locally, including their strawberry ice cream, made with organic strawberries from Watsonia Farms
