The big one
Three-time Grand Master Ice Cream Maker
Not once. Not twice. Three times, the North American Ice Cream Association has named us Grand Master Ice Cream Maker.
It’s one of the association’s highest honors. To earn it, a company has to win blue ribbons at the annual Ice Cream Clinic competition at three different conventions within five years. We’ve done that three times over.
World Dairy Expo
Grand Champion. Best in show. Three times.
Two vanillas and a Yippee Skippee®. Never let anyone tell you vanilla is boring.
