2024 Best of Lake Erie: Use of Fruit
Savor delightful swirls of real-fruit ice cream at Quarry Hill Orchards in Berlin Heights, Ohio.
Third-generation family farmers Ben and Brooke Gammie tasted real fruit ice cream — a dreamy, frozen dessert — in New Zealand. While there on an International Fruit Tree Association tour, they observed a deliciously novel machine that used overripe fruit. “It’s unique because we’re using fruit that wouldn’t have a home,” Brooke Gammie says. Flavors change seasonally — peach, blueberry, cherry, etc. — and use 51% orchard fruit blended with Mitchell’s Homemade ice cream of Cleveland. Taste these amazing flavors for yourself at Quarry Hill Orchards.
