OK, now for some real news about Shannon Road Ice Cream.

Everybody wants to know when and where they can buy their favorite Non Dairy Ice Cream (pronounced Non Dairy Frozen Dessert). First of all, let me be very clear, as much as you want to buy my frozen happiness, I want to sell it to you even more. So please don’t think I’m holding out on you for some sinister reason, I do want to sell it to you!

As to what’s the hold up, well, after spending many months perfecting the recipes and all the other paperwork and legal mumbo jumbo, right now, my labels are being reviewed by the Ohio Dept. of Agriculture. Once I get the go ahead from them, I will then submit my labels to the printer to be printed up. This can take anywhere from a week to two weeks, after which point I can start production.

Obviously the middle of the winter is not historically the ideal time of the year to launch a frozen product into the market. However, I’ve got a good feeling that it will be received well considering that the other day at the Chinese auction (a fundraiser for my kids school) I served about 800 scoops of ice cream. Obviously not many people are going to turn down free ice cream, but it does bode well for when we hit the stores.

As for the where; I’ve approached the local Cleveland Heights/Beachwood Ohio kosher stores and they are very interested in carrying Shannon Road Ice Cream. I’ll also be approaching the larger chain stores once I have everything together to make a proper presentation with the ice cream in the packaging. So, fear not, the creamy frozen happiness will be hitting a store near you soon; just keep your eyes peeled and check back often for the latest news.

Until my next blog…

“If it looks like ice cream, smells like ice cream and tastes like ice cream, it must be a Non Dairy Frozen Dessert!”
