And a very cool thing to mention is that our readers get to pick their very own Patch-inspired ice cream flavor to sample that day. How sweet is that?!
Among the list of Patchy flavors listed below, readers made their vote in a week-long poll. What makes these flavors Patchy you ask? Well, to go with our signature company color they're all green! However, don't expect any grass-flavored ice cream.
On April 12, the winning flavor that received the most votes was prickly pear! Co-owner Taryn Sandulyak will create it to be served to those who attend the April 26 ice cream social. It'll surely be delicious as .
Hope to see you there!
