Founded in 1853, the White Mountain brand has always been about making sweet family memories right at home, with ice cream made by hand. From its beginning with Grandma’s simple hand-crank model, generations that followed continued the tradition. Now, over 150 years later, not much has changed about the marvelous White Mountain® ice cream maker. Our reputation was built on heritage and quality.

Our wooden bucket is made from select pine tongue and groove planks from New England, tightly secured with sturdy metal bands. The wood is finished with three coats of stain, sealer and lacquer for years and years of use. We keep our standards high because we know that White Mountain® Ice Cream Makers become part of a family tradition passed from one generation to the next.Founded in 1853, the White Mountain brand has always been about making sweet family memories right at home, with ice cream made by hand.
