ice cream to order: the perfect f(l)avor

It's funny. We always thought it would be a good idea to create a company that was serious about sustainability, but really FUN when it came to giving our customers free range to choose the perfect gift themselves! It turns out other people think so, too.

From start to finish, base to mix-ins, our customers are part of every aspect of their ice cream design process. After designing their very own batch of chocolate almond toffee ice cream, they can even name it anything they want.

Such is the story of a woman named Erika, who came in just last week, a few months pregnant, searching for the perfect favor to hand out at her baby shower in May. She's pregnant with her first baby and is so excited! What she wants is a gift that says thank you to her friends and family, but in a truly personal way. And that's what she got. She chose two different flavors of sorbet, a gallon each, and split them up into small 4 oz. serving size portions. Erika wants to name each flavor something different, and since she knows she's having a boy, she's going to put a personalized sticker on the lid of each sorbet container. Each of her guests will get a little cup of sorbet, flavored with fresh local produce that's in full growing season by mid-May.

It was such a thrill and accomplishment after all our hard work to be a part of this celebration in her life! I'm sure her guests will love her personalized flavors and gifts, and I look forward to many more of her celebrations.
