This was the "best ice cream flavor ever" as mentioned by Farm to Fork attendees! 🙌 ❤️

Olive My Apple Pie Ice Cream, a special flavor made for the Bounty & Soul Farm To Fork event, was so good we had to bring it to The Hop(s)! It features Spicewalla Olive Oil, a Hop-made apple pie filling using Creasman Farms apples and Spicewalla apple pie spice blend.

A dairy and vegan version will be in rotation at all locations while supplies last.

Brian, your support over the years have meant so much to Bounty & Soul! You've shown up for our mission time and again, and we're so grateful you were part of Farm to Fork once more. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent, your heart for this community, and another unforgettable dish alongside R Farm!

And if you haven’t checked out Chef Brian’s newest venture, Daymakers Slider Bar in Swannanoa, you’re missing out! 🍔 We’re so excited to see him bringing his creativity and delicious food to the Swannanoa community—go show the crew on Whitson Ave. some love! 💚
