HARMONY, Calif. - July 14, 2016 - PRLog -- After taking a 46-year hiatus, 103-year-old Harmony Valley Creamery has re-opened for business, introducing a line of small batch artisan ice creams, being served out of all things, a fully restored 1957 DIVCO milk truck.
Harmony Valley Creamery briefly debuted its ice cream last year at the California Mid-State Fair, testing its product and seeking consumer feedback, before going into hibernation as the antique scoop truck was being restored. "We had overwhelmingly positive feedback from customers at last year's Mid-State Fair, and we've just been waiting for the scoop truck restoration. It's not every day you take a 1957 DIVCO, completely restore and convert it into an ice cream truck," says Alan Vander Horst, Owner/Founder of Harmony Valley Creamery.
Harmony Valley Creamery's initial ice cream include such classic flavors as – Vanilla Bean, Chocolate, Strawberry, Cookies n' Cream, Mint n' Chip and Butter Pecan. The all-natural ice creams with no added rBST are locally made and produced in small batches.
The scoop truck will be serving up its udderly awesome ice at the California Mid-Sate Fair July 20 – July 31, 2016. After the Mid-State Fair, you can find the scoop in the town of Harmony - population 18 - serving up its super premium ice cream and at special events throughout the county. Follow Harmony Valley Creamery on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram @HVCreamery to get the scoop on location and times of operations.
As for future plans, Harmony Valley Creamery will have its scoop truck available for hire for everything from weddings, wine events, and large gatherings to casual picnics and birthday parties year-round, and is currently in the middle of restoring a second truck – a 1964 DIVCO for a double scoop of ice cream fun.
About Harmony Valley Creamery
A long-established fixture of California's Central Coast, Valley Creamery traces its roots back to the formation of the Harmony Valley Creamery Association in 1913, where it served as a vital part of the dairy industry in San Luis Obispo County until 1970. Since that time, the town of Harmony and the remaining buildings of Harmony Valley Creamery evolved into a haven for the arts and local fare, playing host to working artisans and galleries known for its signature quirk and charm. While undergoing periods of relative dormancy in the years leading up to its current rebirth, Harmony Valley Creamery is going back to its roots to bring you the best of both starting with its small batch, big flavor artisan ice creams.
When not scooping in the town of Harmony, Harmony Valley Creamery's ice cream truck, converted from a completely restored 1957 DIVCO milk truck, is available for everything from weddings, wine events, and large gatherings to casual picnics and birthday parties year-round. For more information and details on how to hire the Harmony Valley Creamery ice cream scoop truck for an upcoming event or party, please contact Harmony Valley Creamery at events@harmonyvalleycreamery.com.
