Clean WaterBehind every scoop of ice cream and each glass of refreshing tea is something even more important: clean water, thriving farms, and a healthy environment. Through our Clean Water partnership with the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay and Maola Local Dairies, we're helping local dairy farmers implement conservation practices that protect waterways, improve soil health, support animal well-being, and strengthen the long-term sustainability of their farms.
The impact reaches far beyond Pennsylvania. Healthier farms and cleaner waterways help support thriving ecosystems throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed, including the iconic blue crab populations that call the Bay home.
through conservation plans and buffer plantings that help reduce pollution and improve land use.
to help naturally filter runoff, capture carbon, and create wildlife habitats.
Through conservation practices that create healthier environments for dairy cows while protecting local land and waterways.
Including manure storages, cattle walkways, barnyard stabilization, and stormwater outlet boxes to protect local streams and improve long-term soil health.

Green EnergyBehind every scoop and every sip is a commitment to sustainability. We're investing in cleaner energy and smarter manufacturing practices to help reduce our impact while continuing to make the products you love.
At our Conestoga, Pennsylvania facility, every container of ice cream and every bottle of iced tea is produced using renewable energy sources such as waste reduction, solar, and repurposed waste gases. These cleaner energy solutions help power our production processes while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting a more sustainable future.

kilowatt-hours of power generated annually by turning 1,800 tons of waste into renewable energy, offsetting 4,172 tons of carbon emissions.
75,000 gallons
of propane saved each year by using methane produced during our wastewater treatment process.
3,900 tons
of waste recycled through our Zero Waste to Landfill program, we're giving materials another use instead of sending them to a landfill.
SmarterSustainability doesn't stop when our products leave the facility. Through transportation efficiencies, fleet improvements, and strategic investments in our distribution network, we're reducing fuel use and lowering emissions while delivering the ice cream and beverages you love.
A boost in fuel efficiency saves over 46,000 gallons of fuel every year, keeping thousands of pounds of CO2 out of the atmosphere.
On-site maintenance reduces fuel waste, breakdown emissions, and keeps every truck running as cleanly and efficiently as possible.
Newer, more fuel-efficient trucks meet the latest greenhouse gas standards, reducing emissions with every trip.
