Did you know that it takes three gallons of whole milk to produce just one gallon of ice cream? And that the US consumes the second-most ice cream per capita, averaging 44 pints per person per year, behind New Zealand?
July is National Ice Cream Month and we’re celebrating it in a big way. If we’ve learned anything over the last 10 years in business, it’s that the Prolink family knows best when it comes to finding hidden gems in cities across the country.
