Turkey Hill's Slogans & Taglines

Turkey Hill Dairy is an American brand of iced tea, ice cream, and frozen desserts founded in 1931 by farmer Armor Frey in Conestoga, Pennsylvania. Originally established as a family dairy selling bottled milk to neighbours, the company expanded into ice cream production in 1954 and introduced refrigerated iced tea products in the 1970s. In 1987, the Frey family sold the business to Dillon Companies, a subsidiary of Kroger, which expanded distribution from a regional Lancaster County operation to a national brand. In 2019, Kroger sold Turkey Hill to Peak Rock Capital, returning it to private ownership. Today the portfolio spans premium ice cream, refrigerated and ready-to-drink teas, frozen novelties, and dairy-based beverages, distributed across 48 U.S. states and international markets.

Brand messaging has leveraged the enduring slogan Imported from Lancaster County, which has become synonymous with wholesome, farm-fresh quality even for consumers far beyond Pennsylvania Dutch Country. For its tea line, the brand adopted the campaign theme Cold Fashioned for Freshness, stressing a "bottled cold, shipped cold, sold cold" promise of frosty refreshment. More recent campaigns such as Freeze the Moment and Seize the Moment have shifted toward experiential, lifestyle-oriented positioning, encouraging consumers to embrace spontaneous enjoyment.
