Heisler's Cloverleaf Dairy was founded in 1924 as a retail milk
delivery business by Morris W. Heisler. Milk was delivered fresh each
day from the family farm. As the business grew a small plant was constructed
on the farm to pasteurize milk produced by the herd. In 1957 the
business was moved 1/4 mile to our current location in the Lewistown Valley,
Tamaqua. During that year we developed the recipe for our ice cream.
We still manufacture our own ice cream mix, milkshake mix, and ice cream
from that original recipe.
Today we offer 40 flavors of ice cream including
frozen yogurt and ice cream sherbet. We operate a "Dairy Bar" serving
our ice cream and a hot food menu. We also offer Miniature Golf, Driving
Range, Waffle Shop, Game Room, and Gift Shop. We are a family oriented
business with customers traveling as far as 60 miles to enjoy ice
cream and miniature golf our serene country setting.
Heisler's Dairy is continuing today under the
direction of Morris Heisler's nephew Leonard Ostergaard and his wife Ann.
We serve approximately 100 stores with our half gallons of ice cream and a novelty item
called the "CMP® SUNDAE". Our Corporate goal is to provide fresh, high
quality ice cream at a reasonable price.
