Giving Thanks
Creme
Two of our newest bestselling flavors, Salted Caramel and Pumpkin Gingerbread (and hopefully many more in the future), would not have been made possible without the confectionary prowesses of our good friends upstairs at Creme Patisserie. If you haven't checked out their shop, it is definitely worth doing. Their breads are outstanding. Thanks Creme for a beautiful and delicious partnership!
Fairegarden, The Blog
When we aren't making or scooping ice cream, we love to garden. This is no coincidence. My mother has been passionately gardening all of her adult life and inspiring others to do the same. In the last two years she has taken this hobby to the next level with her garden blog, www.fairegarden.wordpress.com. It is remarkable and funny, full of great pictures and instructions, fairy tales and hyperbole, and even the occasional Joni Mitchell lyric. Visit the site and see why Fairegarden has been voted two years running The Best Garden Blog in the World by Blotanical (an aggregator with over 1600 garden blogs from around the globe). Congratulations and thank you for your infinite gardening (and general) wisdom. Much love, Mom!
You
Most of all, we would like to extend our thanks to you, our customers, for visiting The Hop. Since taking over August 2008, we have gotten to know so many wonderful Ashevillians (and beyond) through the love of ice cream. As people and consequently as owners what we strive to do more than anything else is to create an environment full of positive energy and happiness. Thank you again for allowing us to do what we love.
