Happy Friday!

Happy Friday and welcome back to this beautiful blueberry cheesecake gelato! Though we haven't had the warmest week, we're trying to sweeten things up with a week of new fruit at the creamery. First up, blueberry cheesecake gelato. One of the OG flavors from our first few months of gelato-making, we've perfected the cream cheese gelato base and swirled a compote made of blueberries, sugar and lemon juice for the perfect fruity/tart punch. We always finish our cheesecake gelatos with a scratch-made graham cracker crumble. The flavors and textures of this gelato make it a customer favorite with good reason. And it's back at the farm shoppe.
It's also time for the return of our strawberry milk. This is not the strawberry milk of your elementary school days, though. Our strawberry milk is made with a real strawberry puree and has none of the red dye you're used to. So at first sight, it may look like a subtle pink hue, but because of the real strawberry puree, the flavor is out-of-this-world! It's like the finish of a bowl of strawberry shortcake. Never any weird dyes or artificial flavors from us, and the taste speaks for itself!
We made an official announcement of our scoop shoppe opening on FB this week and it's been so well received, I've been brought to tears more times that I'd like to admit. This project is one we didn't exactly anticipate, but that feels so right now. I'm a worrier by nature, so the little details and timelines are waking me up at night (to which Jesse says "we'll figure it out, we always do. Stop worrying"). But having your support makes it all feel worth it. I think this is going to be the best experience for all of us, and we can't wait to invite you to our Scoop Shoppe on Main St in Brockway this spring (hopefully the last weekend in April, if all works out)!
Join us at the farm shoppe this weekend:
Saturday 10am until 2pm
Sunday 1pm until 3pm
Links + finds from the week:
- The sweetest spring-worthy striped table cloth.
- One of our favorite potato recipes, and a perfect fit for Easter!
- Jesse and I turn on 90's country music anytime we're in a funk and it's a guarantee to bring the whole family around. Lighthearted and so fun, we love this station.
- Have you heard of these beef tallow chips? In light of the fight against seed oils, I found these chips to offer at our new shop. Wondering your thoughts? Are you jumping on the beef tallow train?
- I've been in the battle of the passwords, too, friends.
Have the best weekend,
Lisa
