Nutty Buddy was originally created and produced by Seymour Ice Cream Company, which was located in the Port Norfolk section of Dorchester, Massachusetts, and named after its owner, Buddy Seymourian.
Seymour Ice Cream ceased operations in the 1980s.

The cones continued to be sold for a time by Purity Dairies in Nashville, Tennessee.
[2][3] As of 2023 a Nutty Buddy cone is sold by Mayfield Dairy Farms in El Paso, Texas.
