What makes our ice cream taste so amazing? 
We start with fresh milk and cream from our farmer friends who have pledged not to treat their cows with bioengineered growth hormones. Next we add chunks and swirls specially selected for their "oh, my!" excellence. The finished product is a dense, rich, and creamy creation of uncompromisingly high quality. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
