I’m sitting here in my apartment, wishing really for nothing more than another pint of Ronnybrook farm’s blueberry ice cream. I managed to snag the last pint of the day a couple of weeks’ back at the Union Square Farmer’s Market and I’ve been hooked ever since. I managed to get another pint at the market at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza (from my girl who knows I love me the coconut yogurt, too), but much to my chagrin haven’t had it since.
To say that the ice cream is far superior to any other ice cream product is a stretch, but it is pretty frigging good. Any good New York foodie knows that the Ronnybrook secret is the quality of the life of their cows. I mean, these cows have a better life than I do. They are way beyond organic there, and I dig everything that they are doing. Check out their website for more information here.
Anyway, I feel bad for any of you who can’t buy the stuff. And at the same time, I don’t. I actually enjoy the fact that if I plug in a California address into the “Store Locator,” the closest location is Balducci’s in Chelsea. And I want more ice cream for myself.
The ice cream is up there with hamburgers in terms of my love for it. First of all, it’s only available when blueberries are in season, which happens to have been over the last couple of months. Second, it incorporates the best damned heavy cream that you’ve ever tasted. Third, it has a fair amount of sugar, which always helps 🙂
The ice cream is rich without being heavy, and the flavor of blueberries permeates in your mouth. What’s that, you bit down on an ice chunk? Oh, wait, that was a whole fresh blueberry! This stuff is legit. I wish I had some right now. Since I’m going to be away from the market for a couple of weeks, it’s not looking good.
I’ll have to move on to their fall seasonal flavors soon. Like… figs?
Speaking of, where the hell are the figs this year? I love those things.
Ronnybrook Farm Available at Greenmarkets around NYC 7 out of 7 cows (pun intended).
This is not about burgers!
