That's the thing the whole reason for Breyers existence was they were the only widely available brand of ALL NATURAL
ICE CREAM at a REASONABLE PRICE..

You have to remember that Breyers does not compete with premium ice cream like B&J and
Haagen Dazs....they are high fat premium products. Breyers like at the top of the food chain for regular fat ice creams and of course they are / were alone in making such a product. There is a great balance of value and quality with them compared to any other competing brand.

Think of Breyers as the VW among it's
SUB-premium competition. VW DOESN'T compete with BMW, or Audi, it competes with Honda, Toyota, and Mazda for just little more money you get a lot more value, and a better performing car most times.

Breyers competes with Edy's, Turkey Hill, and Blue Bell.

I only know of Turkey Hill, in a least vanilla maybe in a couple of other varieties BlueBell and Homemade brand which probably isn't national. All of those brands make non all-natural ice cream too. You have to read ingredients labels to be sure.

good points antiquehell, I do understand the brand image vs what they are using it to sell. I'm sure a lot of people like you would hate it when what they were selling for years have changed without telling you.

I like the Publix (regional grocery store) house brand. The Greenwise ones have a simple ingredients list, but they only come in vanilla and chocolate.

I stopped buying ice cream when they downsized the container.

I've seen GreenWise commercial for ice cream. I will take a look next time I go to Publix.

Don't know if you'd consider a house brand a big name, but the containers of Market Fresh from Target are just the simple indgredients of milk, sugar, cream, eggs, and natural flavoring. I think even the cookies and cream that we like has only those indgredients along with the cookies.

What's the regular price on the Target Market Fresh Ice Cream you mention?

Blue Bunny ice cream all the way... I also like their frozen yogurt better than ice cream. They yogurt is all natural with probiotics and there is an all natural vanilla ice, the only ice cream I usually buy. If you want heavenly ice cream, try 2nd Street Creamery ice cream; its horrible for you but the most delicious ice cream I've ever had. We buy a pint and only have a few spoonfuls at a time.

What stores carry this brand?

 

[volk06]

Fareway and HyVee grocery stores are the ones around me that have it. I don't buy groceries anywhere else so I cant tell ya. Some Caseys gas stations have it as well. It might be a regional thing as well as the 2nd street creamer is also owned by Wells Dairy, makers of Blue Bunny.
