Owner Profile: Up until four years ago we owned and operated a small ice cream shop in Stonington for 10 years. In previous lives, Jane was a clown and Robert was a kindergarten and first grade teacher in Portland. Our children are Jeff, Jesse and Laura.

Special Features: We are one of two ice cream shops in Maine that make ice cream from scratch. It is made on a small family farm that provides our own organic milk and cream. Last fall our organic ice cream won two ribbons at the Maine Organic Common Ground Fair. One was for best dessert and the other for best Maine-made food.
