Field Report from our AWOL Calf

Tuesday, 19 August 2008 05:19 by Jeff Kleinpeter

One of our calves has been wondering if the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. Don't worry, she's in good hands, and being well fed and taken care of.

The main reason she wanted to "get out" was to travel our state and find more Louisiana Ingredients that we can incorporate into our delicious Ice Cream. So far, she started out in White Castle, where she found Louisiana Cane Sugar at Cora Texas Sugar Cane Mill. Then, she went to Ponchatoula, where she found Ponchatoula Strawberries. Then, she went to New Roads, where she found the Bergeron Family and brought back their Pecans to us. Then, she went to New Orleans, and yes, she walked with Fats Domino. In New Orleans, down along the river by the French Quarter, she found Aunt Sally's Praline Factory. She talked to them about a special praline, made with her momma's milk and butter, that would be rBGH-free. They made them for us, and now we have that flavor on the market.

Then, she went back to Ponchatoula and talked to the Elmer's Chocolate folks, and on the way home, she talked to the Community Coffee folks as well.

Do you have a favorite flavor that you want us to make? Let us know, and we will send our little gal to check out your idea. We just might make a flavor out of it too, so please, let your ideas flow just like our little gal's momma does.
