friends! lovers and supporters of local lore ice cream!

would you be interested in a “csa” style ice cream subscription this summer?

my bandwidth will be limited this season for extra ice cream events so this would be a way to ensure you snag some pints! i’m thinking 8 weeks, june + july, one pint a week guaranteed with all the local, yummy, in season flavors.

please reach out to me and let me know if you’d be interested and I can provide more details!!

thank you all so much for your support through the years. not giving up on this ice cream dream, just doing some re-structuring :)
