Happy Friday!

Happy Friday from the first week of summer weather! And to celebrate, we extended our Scoop Shoppe hours!  One of my family's favorite summer outings is to the ice cream shop, so we wanted to make it more accessible to everyone with a weekday opening! And we've been thinking a lot about the years of Saturday mornings at the Farm Shoppe and the connections we've made here. We loved getting to know our milk customers over the years and the business of the Scoop Shoppe has made it hard to sit and connect like the little old farm shoppe. So we've decided to bring back Saturday mornings and are starting hours at 10am at the Scoop Shoppe in hopes to meet and connect with our milk and yogurt fans! Brockway's Main St is so sweet on Saturday mornings, too--with the coffee shops open and our newest antique store, so we think it's a great fit.

Let's talk gelato flavors! First up, an ode to our Brockway Fire Department by way of their delicious donuts. Our Fire Department sells the most delicious donuts the first Sunday of each month and always on the Fourth of July. They're an old-fashioned cake donut fried and coated with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar. We love them all, but I've been thinking of a take on a powdered jelly donut gelato and the powdered donut brought it to life! We made a cream cheese/buttercream gelato base and filled it with pieces of powdered donuts finished with a fresh raspberry compote. It's sweet and complex and loaded with flavors and textures. And the best part? We're donating a portion of our proceeds to the Brockway Fire Department because we're so proud of what they do for our small town. 

The formal flavor list includes raspberry powdered donut, raspberry and cream (it's a GF version without the donut), chocolate hazelnut, everyone's favorite Buckeye, sea salt caramel and creme anglaise. I think it's a list suited to everyone, and I'm so excited for you to try these flavors.

Links + finds from the week:

• I found the perfect organizer for kids toys.
• After Em was born, my hormones were in a full swing. I started using BetterDays supplement called Better Hormones and, not to sound dramatic, it has changed my life. My cycles are mild, my moods are so much more normal, and I feel better. And this powder is not only delicious, it helps me drink more water! Use my code LANESEND10 for 10% off your purchase! (ps: strawberry lemonade is my favorite with pineapple coconut a close second. And I always get the non-caffeinated version).
• My whole family's favorite summer protein snack.
• Today is the anniversary of D-Day.
• I can't stop dreaming of a trip to this AirBNB in North Carolina. Your own waterfall! Tubing! Swimming! But alas, we're dairy farmers: trips aren't really in the cards for us these days.

Have the best weekend!
