we support small business
Buying local is one of our core ideals. We source many of our ingredients from local farms and families, several of whom are also our customers.
Britt Family Maple Syrup
Located in Tawas City, Michigan, Britt Family Maple Syrup produces premium quality maple products. For 2022 we will use a dark variation of their freshly produced syrup to flavor some of our most popular flavors. You can visit their farm once the sap starts running in late winter and check out their process.
Green Family Honey Farm
The Green Family maintains dozens of hives throughout the Mid-Michigan area and harvests fresh honey produced by bees that collect nectar from local wildlife including: Star Thistle, Linden Tree, Sumac and various wild grown berries and flowers. We use generous amounts of honey to flavor some of our best-sellers, creating sweet, natural and REAL flavors that you can’t find anywhere else.
Russell’s Blueberry Farm
We have worked with Mr. and Mrs. Russell for over a decade now, buying their blueberries for use in our ice cream as well as supplying them with freshly made Blueberry ice cream. Visit their farm and pick your own berries throughout the summer.
St. Laurent Brothers - Nuts
We only use freshly roasted Pecans, Cashews, Almonds, Peanuts and more in our ice cream. All are freshly (and perfectly) roasted in Bay City, Michigan at St. Laurent Brothers. You can stop into their storefront to taste the quality products as well as try some of our ice cream in the summer.
Montrose Orchards
We have worked with Montrose Orchards, a u-pick farm with many activities for your family, for over a decade now. They supply us with various fruit and berry purees including Michigan grown, Blueberry, Cherry and Strawberry. Located in Montrose, Michigan, you can bring your whole family for several hours of fun on the farm and finish the day off with some delicious baked goods.
Indigo Lavender Farm
In 2022 we are working with Indigo Lavender Farm. Rolling hills of lavender on over 20 acres makes this family owned farm an idyllic place to visit in the summer. Various lavender flavors will be available in our store throughout 2021, and you will also be able to purchase our Lavender ice cream at Indigo Lavender farm in early July.
