Western Dairies is located in the town of Spanish Lookout in the Cayo District and is the only commercialized producer of milk in the country of Belize. Western Dairies is known all over Belize for its dairy products and was founded by 16 farmers and business men in 1967. Since its inception it is one of the most self sustained and successful businesses in the town of Spanish Lookout.

What is so unique about this company is that they have their own deli where all these products are available, including other snacks such as quesadillas, sandwiches and pizzas made with WD cheese products. It is a must stop when visiting the Cayo District; the place is teeming with happy customers getting their favorite ice cream and for those who are just too busy to sit in and enjoy a refreshing treat can always use the drive-thru! That's right Western Dairies has an ice cream drive-thru! How cool is that?

Western Dairies welcomes everyone to experience the tour of their facilities and enjoy the best ice cream in the country. Any person or group interested in visiting WD can do so by making arrangements by calling the office at Center Road, Spanish Lookout or call 823-0112 or email [email protected].
