Ice cream, beloved semi-frozen froth, nostalgic childhood delight, renowned breakup meal, the simplest dessert, a summer necessity. With the sun a-blazing, we wanted to give some well-deserved attention to the coolest products at the Co-op, our local ice creams.
Homeland Creamery has been in operation since the 1930’s. Through generations of family farming, the creamery has developed tremendously, with their milk, cheese, and *ice cream* reaching all over NC today. Homeland uses sustainable farming practices and slower pasteurization methods for their milk, which is evident in their flavorsome, healthy dairy goods. The Co-op stocks pints of some of Homeland’s top ice cream flavors, including Butter Pecan, Cake Batter, Peach, Banana, Black Cherry, and more. Scoop away!
