But it is a sad day when rights are taken away from people, for whatever reason…

Tonight Ashley made a Mixed Berry Local Goat Milk Ice Cream! Interesting fact: The Hop is the only Ice Cream shop in North Carolina that retails Goat Milk Ice Cream, which is pretty neat :)

The beautiful Max Patch, an hour outside of Asheville, NC…

reblogged from hopicecream:

Homemade Vegan Mexican Chocolate Cake Almond Milk Ice Cream (with homemade Vegan cake from @shortstreet)! To be for sale within the next 48 hours :)

Cake and ice cream, what more does a vegan need?

Thanks for the reblogs, this is definitely one of our best vegan Ice Creams (mainly because Short Street makes such awesome vegan Cakes)!

There are so many wonderful small businesses in Asheville that to narrow it down to just one per category can be sometimes difficult, but this really is a way to let those local businesses you love know it!
