Ajoa Mintah, Founder and Chief Ice Cream Maker, created Four All with the dream of making hand-crafted ice cream using all-natural, locally-sourced ingredients in order to provide a better choice for all ice cream lovers who want to indulge in a sweet treat without compromise to their well-being. Her obsession with hand-crafted ice cream began during a heatwave in August 2003 when, instead of an air-conditioner, she bought an ice cream machine. Not only did she save money, the ice cream from the little machine was so good! Fast forward to now, tons of ice cream experiments and two scoop shops later, we're making the best possible ice cream we can in Kitchener-Waterloo.

We start our ice cream with fresh, all-natural, local Guernsey cow milk from Eby Manor farm. Guernsey cows produce a different, easier-to-digest dairy called A2 milk. A2 milk contains only the A2 beta-casein protein, which has been found to be the perfect solution for ice cream lovers with dairy intolerances and sensitivities, as it is gentler on your stomach. No tummy troubles here! We pasteurize our ice cream base in small batches at our gluten-free production facility in Kitchener. From there we combine local and/or responsibly sourced ingredients to achieve robust, full, deep flavour profiles, which are best described as "tasting deliciously real". Four All Ice Cream is better because through our partnerships with local farmers, producers & other small-batch makers, we create fresh and seasonal flavours that support local and showcase the best of Kitchener-Waterloo region.

The name Four All is inspired by the ice cream preferences of Ajoa's family of four. Her husband is into classic time-tested flavours, like Cookies & Cream. Her oldest daughter's milk sensitivities has her reaching for vegan options; Raspberry Sorbet is a favourite. Her youngest daughter always chooses flavours that are reminiscent of childhood; Mint Chip for example. Ajoa's tastes veer towards foodie flavours inspired by interesting culinary combinations, like whiskey and caramel with spiced pecans. In dreaming up new flavours to satisfy all four of them, the name Four All Ice Cream was born. Being mindful to ensure there would always be a choice for all ice cream lovers, four flavour categories were created: CLASSIC- Timeless. Understated. Constant., VEGAN- Mindful and Delightful, CHILDHOOD- Throwback Goodness, FOODIE- Adventures in Ice Cream.
