Kalona, Iowa Ice Cream Now Available

Thank you for helping us celebrate the launch of our house-made ice cream this past weekend! We had a great turnout, beautiful weather,  and delicious Kalona, Iowa ice cream. Lona was pretty exhausted on Sunday, but told our staff how much fun she had at the party.

Here are a few photos from the event!

Our house-made ice cream is stocked and ready for the big event!

A father and son duo, compete to beat our challenge: 10 scoops in 10 minutes.

Our early morning contestant, Drew, tackles the ice cream eating challenge in 7 minutes. Wow!

A group of four contestants compete in the eating challenge.

We had a great turnout for the event, visitors came for vendor samplings, fun and of course, ice cream!

Visitors try 'The Perfect Blend Shortbread.' Hint: the shortbread is in our Parlor Pie flavor.

A few of our younger contestants waiting for their challenge serving.

We had a drawing for 2 gift baskets including items from the Kalona Creamery Shop & Deli, Kalona SuperNatural and Kalona Chocolates.

Just some fun as Lona the Cow!

10 scoops of house-made ice cream in 10 minutes? Yes, it’s possible!

There were several skeptics that thought our ice cream eating challenge wasn’t possible, but we proved them wrong! At our ice cream launch party, we had 18 contestants, and eight completed eating 10 scoops in 10 minutes or less. One contestant even made it in seven minutes! Congratulations to all who participated. We hope the chills afterwards were worth it. It was a lot of fun to watch!
