Here in Oregon, we don’t mess around when it comes to ice cream. From rich, creamy classics to organic favorites and handmade sandwiches, our state is home to some seriously cool creameries—and the best part? You don’t have to travel far to taste them.
Whether you’re stocking up for a sunny weekend or just need a midweek pick-me-up, check out these local favorites right here at Market of Choice:
Tillamook: The Creamery That Does It All
Tillamook is a name you know and trust—and for good reason. This iconic creamery has been crafting extra-creamy ice cream for over a century. With crowd-pleasers like Oregon Strawberry, Chocolate Peanut Butter, and the always-a-hit Udderly Chocolate, there’s a flavor for every craving.
Alden’s Organic: Clean, Creamy, and Totally Scoopable
Looking for something a little more natural? Alden’s Organic, based in Eugene, is your go-to for organic ice cream made without the junk. Every scoop is certified organic, and they even offer dairy-free bars, as well as frozen Greek yogurt bars, that don’t skimp on flavor.
From Old-Fashioned Vanilla to Cookies & Cream, Alden’s proves you don’t need artificial anything to make ice cream that hits the spot.
Umpqua Dairy: Oregon Tradition in Every Scoop
Umpqua Dairy has been making ice cream in Southern Oregon since 1931, and it shows. These time-tested recipes deliver classic, comforting flavors with a seriously, creamy texture that’s hard to beat. And they have the awards to prove it.
Favorites like Bordeaux Cherry, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, and Rocky Road feel like a throwback to simpler times (in the best way). They may be an Oregon classic, but Umpqua isn’t stuck in the past, either. Innovative flavors like Lemon Bar Ice Cream (great for summer) and Caramel Cold Brew, ensure this classic brand stays fresh and in-demand. Grab a tub and share the tradition with your crew.
Pronto Gelato: An Adventure in Every Scoop
Every batch of Pronto gelato is whipped up with love, and some seriously fresh, local ingredients in Portland. We’re talking creamy milk, fancy Oregon hazelnuts, and all the good stuff from nearby farms and makers. The flavors? Oh, they slap. Think Stracciatella, bold, Spella Caffè Espresso, and trendy hits like California Pistachio. Basically, it’s local goodness in a dish.
Find Them All at Market of Choice
We’re proud to support these incredible Oregon creameries, and even prouder to offer them in our freezer section. So next time you’re shopping, treat yourself to a scoop (or sandwich) of something local. Because in Oregon, ice cream isn’t just dessert, it’s a way of life.
