I’ve been taking advantage of these fruits to bring gorgeous color to my ice creams and sorbets. Here are a few examples to […]
It’s so hard to believe that in just over a week I’ll be back out at the Columbia City Farmers Market scooping ice cream for all of the familiar faces I’ve come to love over the years. It’s been a great winter, full of lots of fun things, but my favorite time of year is upon us: […]
On Friday, April 20th (that’s tomorrow!) Half Pint will be participating in Arcade Lights, a food and beverage tasting event at Pike Place Market.

Aloha from Kauai! So Half Pint is on a winter break. But, never fear, we will be back up and slinging ice cream again come April! For the time being, however, I am living on Kauai, Hawaii, and soaking in the sun. I’ve also been getting lots of ideas for tasty new ice cream flavors. […]
August has been a BUSY month for Half Pint! Lots of farmers markets, special events…we’ve been elbow deep in ice cream for weeks. Last week we participated in a really cool event at Tom Douglas’s Palace Ballroom. It was an ice cream social!
