At the bottom of this page, you'll see where you can submit a testimonial. Here's one we received this way recently...

On an impulse, I threw a few cartons of your ice cream into my basket when I was shopping at Whole Foods (after my salsa class... I was feeling naughty... hehe). The price was reasonable and the potential for your ice cream to live up to it's deliciously old fashioned name sake was too tempting... also your name made me chuckle. UDDERLY HILARIOUS! We hunkered down and immediately enjoyed your mint chocolate ice cream. Love the natural mint flavor. Artificial doesn't taste quite right does it? I served your Chai Tea Ice Cream with this Shortbread, poached pear on custard tart (see attached photo) and it was an INSTANT hit. RAVE reviews in all aspects, the way your ice cream complemented the tart with it's perfect chai flavor without that cloying sweetness. My SO and I are HUGE chai tea fans, and can be fairly critical of the balance of the spices. I have to say you have the perfect balance. Like the other testimonials. I'm off to buy 4 more cartons today after work... I just happened to pop onto your website to take a peak at the other flavors. Looking forward to trying out the Coconut, thank you for taking the time to prepare your own coconut. It's nice to know so much care is made to ensure your product is safe to eat (maybe not to my butt but my body thanks you regardless). Cheers, Ivy Fong Vancouver

OMG!!!! Yesterday my husband and I tried the roasted coconut flavour (it was in the Thrifty's sale flyer this week)....and, well, today went out and bought 5 more containers & hid them in the downstairs freezer....wait a minute....gotta run....I think I hear hubby sneaking around down there - thanks for a fantastic product, looking forward to trying other flavours!!!

This is my testimonial, I have already sent a request and received an answer within one hour!. That alone lets me know that the people invovled with my ice cream favourite are serious. So if anybody has a request, concern or generally wants to rave then do it please. You will not be disappointed. Mary Duddy Victoria, B.C.

Here'e a testimional from a customer in Vancouver, BC...

I literally fell down after trying your Coconut as well as Peaches and Cream flavours. Easily the best icecream I ever tasted. I have eaten four cartons with the help of my roomate over the last two days. Kudos to you Udder Guys. Patrick Conn Vancouver, BC

And here's a comment from the room-mate...

It was so good I dropped my spoon. My roommate and I are making our way through all your flavours! Telly

Here's a nice comment we've recently received...

I’m going to start this off sounding like I’ve gone completely off my rocker and lost my mind. However, I’m going to redeem myself by the time you read the last sentence. You see, I don’t like ice cream. Never have, either. I was always the little kid at the birthday party who earned shocked looks with the announcement “No ice cream for me, please!” Over the ensuing years, I’ve gotten used to it. Every once in awhile, I’d have to test my memory – was ice cream as bad as I’d remembered? Did it still have that awful aftertaste or the too-sweet sweetness that made my teeth ache long after I was done? Had my tastes changed and I’d now be counted among the millions to enjoy a refreshingly cold cone on a hot summer day? Alas, no such luck. Every attempt at ‘enjoying’ an ice cream usually lead to my handing the majority of it over to either husband or son. Until, that is, I tasted Udder Guys ice cream. What joy! What taste! What luck to have made such a discovery! Now, a trip up to Cowichan Bay is always a delight, but now that I’ve discovered there is such a thing as great-tasting ice cream, it’s made the trip that much more enjoyable. Thank you! ~ Lee Shanks

Here's an interesting review found in the pages of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer under the title "Vancouver Island is a beauty of a dining experience" on Friday, October 20, 2006

The planet's best ice cream still comes from Woodside Farm Creamery in my hometown of Hockessin, Del., but finally there's a close runner-up. It's The Udder Guy's Ice Cream Parlor in Cowichan Bay, a community better known for its free-range chickens and organic produce than for its dessert parlors. Udder Guy's, though, produces as logical an end product for island cows as artisan cheese, and its high-quality desserts ($3.28/single, $4.39/double) are about what you'd imagine would happen when Slow Food principles are applied to churned cream. The amazingly pure coconut ice cream, our server cheerily told us, is made from real coconuts husked and roasted at the Udder Guy's factory in nearby Duncan, while the blackberries in the rich, sweet wild blackberry selection are wild berries picked in British Columbia. Licorice retains the dull brown color of its natural state, rather than relying on black dyes, and grape ice cream is made from wine grapes, giving it an intensely natural flavor that's as different from the usual grape dessert as Manischewitz is from a Bordeaux grand cru. (A spoonful of the grape was enough; a whole dish would have been overkill.) Ginger ice cream is studded with soft pieces of freshly candied ginger root, and the lemon ice cream includes organic lemon zest, again cooked and candied in the company's own factory. The final product is rich, but doesn't have the ultra-fat feel of, say, Ben & Jerry's. Flavors are cleaner and clearer, providing lush, additive-free taste. Don't imagine that the extra care makes Udder Guy's in the least precious or refined; this stuff is as double-cone worthy as a pint of Chubby Hubby. Take-home ice cream also is available at selected island grocery stores. Probably the closest to Seattle are the Fairways in Victoria. REBEKAH DENN P-I RESTAURANT CRITIC

And here's a response to that review from one of our big fans...

That's great news. The article is well deserved although I think she may be biased about her hometown ice cream being the best. We demand a blind taste test with a panel of impartial judges. Canadian-US relations be damned! I was in Cowichan Bay on the 12th and had the red wine. It was fantastic. Keep up the good work. Congratulations on a great website. Looks very professional and informative. Cheers, Robert Giardino

And here's what they say about us in The Lonely Planet Guide for Canada

The best ice cream on the west coast...

Here's a posting found on the www.gardenweb.com website

I'm not a big ice cream fan, but when I do get a craving we drive into Cowichan Bay to the "Udder Guy". A local place that makes all their own ice creams. Lots of flavours to choose from but the only flavour I ever get is "Udderly Chocolate". I know, boring, but Chocolate is the only flavour of ice cream that I really like. And they have the most wonderful homemade waffle cones.

Here's a nice letter from a happy consumer...

Hi John, Thought I would drop you a line about my experience yesterday. I came over to the island on friday for business and to attend the Organic Islands Festival yesterday. I had lunch with a colleague in Nanaimo on friday and I think we both got food poisoning. Needless to say I was not in the best of shape on Saturday, however I had promised to help out at the festival as a volunteer all day. Unable to stomach any real food for most of the day, the queasiness remained. By the time the festival was over and I had to catch the ferry, I knew I had to do something. That's when it hit me: perhaps some ice cream would settle my stomach. Now, having been spoiled on my last trip, I only wanted The Udder Guys. As luck would have it, the festival was held at the Pacific Horticultural Centre off of West Saanich Rd. I made a bee line for the Red Barn only to discover one 500 ml tub of your ice cream (Peaches & Cream) left in the freezer. It stood out like a beacon of light among the other pretenders to the throne. While I felt bad about taking the last one, my need was overwhelming. You did not disappoint. I discovered two things yesterday: That The Udder Guys Ice Cream can be used for 'medicinal purposes' and that, unlike other ice creams, The Udder Guys ice cream is much too rich to consume an entire 500 ml tub in a single sitting (although I may not stop trying). Thank you for making a wonderful product and for helping me get through the evening. Please let me know when it will be available on the mainland.
