New Flavors now available!

Basically all the regular flavors are now out in the cabinets for the season, with almost no exceptions.

Brand New Flavor…not permanent, but here for now…is Basil Ice Cream. Sounds eewwy, but it’s really good. Idea came courtesy of a trip to Peru where it is a common flavor.

Also, after several years of not being able to get ingredient, Pralines and Cream is back!

Newest Soy flavors are Vanilla, Black Raspberry, and Black Raspberry Banana. Double Chocolate Fudge is still available, too. All are Dairy-Free and Vegan.

Warmer weather coming again so come get some ice cream!

NEW FLAVOR…Chocolate Almond Chip. Self-explanatory, but it’s Chocolate Ice Cream with Almonds and Chocolate Chips. Great combo!

Fundraiser was a HUGE success!

Yesterday was our 4th annual fundraiser for Ray of Light Farm in East Haddam, and thanks to the beautiful weather, it was a record day for the event! Today I gave the farm a check for just over $3,200–which will REALLY help their rescue program.

Thanks to all of you who came out to support the event, and enjoy Sam and Cody’s wagon rides.

Thank you, also, to my volunteer crew of scoopers! Talia, Sam, and Andrea worked very hard throughout the entire event, and Paul came in for the last hour and clean-up. Great kids to be volunteering their time!

Thanks, also, to Cedar Knoll Farm for providing the wagon rides. They were a big hit.

As great as our day was, the farm can always use more support. You can visit their website at rayoflightfarm.org to learn more about them, and even to make a donation on line.

Thanks!!!

Dairy Free/Vegan flavors back

Forgot to post that Dairy Free/Vegan ice cream is back in the cabinet. Made a new flavor–Strawberry–that came out great. Also made another batch of Double Chocolate Fudge that’s better than the last one!

Fall is Here!

Fall is here, and while there’s still plenty of time to get ice cream, we will now begin to intentionally run out of flavors to get ready for the end of the season (October 30th). If you plan to “stock up on quarts”, as so many of you do, now is the time for the best selection of flavors.

Apple Pie, Eggnog, Frozen Pudding, and Pumpkin–our signature fall flavors–are moving well. Still have most of all the 80 flavors now, but who knows how long they’ll last!

Forgot to update!

Just realized I never updated this! Sorry!! Obviously power has long been fully restored, and all is well. Fall is coming, so the flavor line-up starts to change. Soon some flavors we be gone for the season, but the Fall flavors are here. Frozen Pudding is in the cabinet now; Eggnog and Apple Pie will be out tomorrow (Wed, 9-14). We’ll be open every day in September, then Thur-Sun the entire month of October, with October 30 being the final day.

Also, we will be open Monday, Columbus Day, from Noon-5pm for our 4th Annual Fundraiser to benefit Ray of Light Farm in East Haddam. 100% of SALES for the day will be donated to this wonderful farm that offers sanctuary to horses and other animals coming from less than ideal circumstances. You can visit their site to learn more about them at rayoflightfarm.org.

Hurricane Irene update!

Tuesday night, and still no power in the entire town of Salem-ugh!! Keeping the ice cream cold with a generator, but not quite powerful enough to open the store. Trying and trying to find ways to open. Hopefully no later than Labor Day weekend–and we may try tomorrow with limited offerings, like no soft serve and such. I’ll try to keep things posted as they change and/or progress!
