'Matlock Meadows is based on the real working family Dairy Farm ‘Masson Farm’ which has been in the Dakin family since the 1930’s. The quality ‘farm assured’ milk from our own dairy herd is used to make our artisan Italian style gelato.
The inspiration to make our own Italian style ice cream came following a trip to Italy and tasting some of the most amazing gelato that Italy has to offer. Several years later we created our own ‘taste of Italy’ at Matlock Meadows ice cream.'
