Fresh Facts
Every scoop of fresh, homemade ice cream we serve is made in one of our kitchens in the back of our scoop shops.
We buy fruit for seasonal flavors from local farms in Washington, Oregon and Northern California – and we are helping a handful of farms expand their production or transition to organic.
After milk, cream and sugar, the top ingredient we use is chocolate; every year we typically use more than 27,000 pounds of organic, direct trade K’ul Chocolate made in Bellingham.
The milk and cream in our ice cream comes from a sustainable, family-owned farm in Lynden, Washington with an anaerobic digester on the property that converts the cows’ waste into power for 750 local homes; liquid fertilizer for the farms’ crops that they grow to feed the herd; and a sanitary, dry fibrous product used for the herd’s bedding that keeps the gals cleaner and healthier than straw bedding.
Wholesome local milk and cream from the sustainable dairy at Edaleen Farms in Lynden, WA; Olympic Peninsula organic lavender; and perfectly ripened organic berries grown at Viva Farms Incubator in the Skagit Valley are just a few of the ingredients we use daily that come to us directly from local producers we know and trust. Every scoop of fresh, homemade ice cream we serve is made possible by our carefully chosen partnerships.
If it’s not grown in the bountiful Pacific Northwest. - like chocolate, vanilla, coffee, and tea; we work with local companies like K’ul Chocolate and Olympia Coffee to buy non-gmo, certified organic, and Fair-Trade For Life ingredients.
