When Jacky got an ice cream maker for her birthday this past year, we decided it was a sign that we should start creating our own versions of the food we loved so dearly.

We wanted to not only make delicious ice cream, but we wanted our ice cream to have a story. We decided to use ingredients that were as close to the source as possible, which meant creating our own extracts, using local, raw milk, growing seasonings whenever we could, you get the idea. We also wanted a story to surround our ice cream. We decided we were going to start with ice cream socials where friends could taste and evaluate our flavors, pair them as they wished and giving us feedback. And eventually, we want to have an ice cream CSA, 'cause getting a pint of ice cream is never a bad thing.

So this blog is here to chronicle these adventures, tell you our triumphs and failures, and just encourage you to eat more ice cream.
