From the Desk of the Chief Ice Cream Dipper

We try to keep Young's fun -- for our guests and for ourselves. To me, one of the most fun things to do is work on new ice cream flavors. We get ideas from just about anywhere -- our staff bring us ideas, customers have suggestions and we read a lot about what's going on. But the best source of flavor ideas is the imagination. with ice cream, if you can imagine the flavors co-existing, then it probably will taste good -- if not great. Best of all, eating the not so great ideas is still good!

When we first started selling ice cream, we made perhaps 25-30 flavors a year. Now we make over 110 flavors a year! Some of them we make all year, some for a season, and some for as little as a week or two. New flavors we just put out to sell this weekend include Chocolate Chunk Cherry Vanilla. It tastes pretty much just as you would expect! Lemon Custard is back for the spring and summer. A favorite of Congressman Dave Hobson is back, also -- Peaches & Cream. He's been buying dips of Peaches for years now.

If you have any ideas for ice cream,please feel free to email me at cows@youngsdairy.com. I appreciate all flavor ideas!
