Chapter 7 - Favorite
Flavors
(or What to Do with All That Cream!)
The obvious answer to the cream surplus
issue was found in ice cream. Although the family has vast
experience in milk production and processing, ice cream was an
entirely different product. Research of this new challenge would
take over a year.
Warren Sr, Nancy, and Warren Jr. spent their available time learning
about ice cream mix production, flavoring, and availability of
equipment. In the end, used Emery Thompson batch freezers were
purchased second-hand and an ice cream formula was freely given by
the owner of another dairy—Peaceful Meadow Dairy. One of the unique
qualities most dairy farmers have is the willingness to share
knowledge.
Ice cream sales grew rapidly, and many new flavors were added
yearly. Nancy and Warren spent many mornings beginning at five A.M.
making flavor after flavor of delicious homemade ice cream. This new
value-added product would make it possible to add an ice cream stand
to the farm later in the 90’s.
