terhune orchards & the bent spoon team up for school gardens
it’s august and we just delivered the new flavors for princeton school garden ice cream program. they are available at the whole earth center now!
this month we've teamed up with the mount family who own our most local orchard, terhune orchards to make 2 flavors inspired by the new jersey peach harvest. terhune kindly donated 3 giant buckets of red haven freestone peaches that were made into a classic peach sorbet (since we use SO MUCH fruit, it's just pure peach flavor) and then we just couldn't help it. for as much as i love sorbets, fruit ice creams are also really special. this one takes those same red haven freestones and blends it up with crème fraiche. it's our version of "peaches & cream" but with that subtle cultured tang that complements the peaches so well. yum.yum.
so anyway, stop by the whole earth center to get a pint! all but $.50 (for the reusable packaging) of the $7.50 is a donation to the edible garden program. currently the donations are towards the garden at community park school. AND, while we're on the subject, for the next few days we have in a really delicious strawberry sorrel sorbet. sorrel is a tangy, lemony herb that really punctuates fruit flavors. this sorrel is extra special because it was grown organically at the riverside school garden! thanks dorothy!
postscript: in july, whole earth customers and bent spoon fans donated $560 to the Community Park School garden. This brings the total so far to $1,015. there are still a few pints available of the dark chocolate mint ice cream flavored with mint from the Riverside School Garden at whole earth!
