In 1937 Jack and Ila Crowe bought a small dairy in Bobcaygeon after enjoying his experience working at the now-defunct Oshawa Dairy and began producing and selling milk products. They increased the size of the operation in 1942 by buying the other dairies in the town. In the summer, they delivered their products to the surrounding area by wagon and in the winter, they delivered by sleigh. In the mid-1950's, Crowe attended course at Guelph University, where he learned how to make ice cream, which would soon be added to Kawartha Dairy's line of products and become one of their signature items. In the early 1960s, the company expanded to Minden where it opened a retail store.

Products
Popular products include its ice cream, chocolate milk, and eggnog. The company makes a point of using fresh Ontario milk and cream exclusively in its ice cream. In February 2018, Kawartha Dairy collaborated with Ontario brewer Muskoka of Bracebridge on a limited-edition beer based on the former's Salty Caramel Truffle ice cream flavour, which was brewed in a bock style and contained caramel and milk chocolate flavours. In the summer of 2018, the company began offering edible candy spoons as a way to reduce waste and benefit the environment.
