Hazelbrook Farm’s Fun Food

In 1898, William and Margaret Hughes built their new Hazelbrook farmhouse in Rathfarnham. In 1924, their three sons, James, George and William established Ireland’s first dairy factory at Hazelbrook Farm. In 1926, in order to use up the surplus milk and cream that was produced during the spring and summer, the three Hughes Brothers took another momentous decision – they began to manufacture ice cream.

From this small, family run operation, HB’s famous Hazelbrook Farm range of tubs and bricks now represents Ireland’s favourite ice cream brand with 73% (ACNielsen data, MAT May '10).
