Short Summary

Hi! We’re Amy, Ryan, and Cathryn, the founders of Milk Jawn.

Milk Jawn is a small-batch, super-premium ice cream jawn based in Philadelphia.

We started our business because we believe Philly needs more great ice cream. We’re serious about food and we’re talking the good stuff—rich, creamy ice cream in delicious flavors crafted with real ingredients.

Our Story:

In 2012 Amy began making ice cream as a creative outlet, which soon morphed into an obsessive quest to craft a better-quality homemade ice cream to share with friends and family. In September 2018 she decided to take things to the next level and recruited her friend Ryan, an executive chef, and Cathryn, a community organizer. Together, we are a small but steadily growing operation committed to making outstanding original ice cream and sharing it with the city we love.

We launched Milk Jawn this past summer by hosting a number of pop-up ice cream parties throughout the city and the response to our ice cream has been incredible.

Not only was it amazing to get such awesome feedback on our ice creams, it was SO MUCH FUN to share it with other ice cream-obsessed Philadelphians.

We are now getting constant requests for ice cream, including from a local restaurant group who would like to feature our products in all of their restaurants (yaaassss!!!!). We can’t wait to get more of our ice cream into your hands (and mouths!!!!) and we have big plans in the works for the coming year. We’re expanding production so we can throw more parties, appear at farmer’s markets and events throughout the city, offer a subscription service, and partner with local retail stores and restaurants.

This is where you come in.

Milk Jawn is about making amazing ice cream, but it’s also about building community and celebrating our awesome city. Your support and encouragement has been SO IMPORTANT to us, and we’d LOVE for you to be involved in our growth.

Think how exciting it would be to see Milk Jawn scooping ice cream at events across Philly and know that we got there because of you? Or to receive our monthly flavors at your doorstep, thanks to your help? Awesome, right? We agree!!!!

So far we have secured a production space, but before we can grow, we need to upgrade our wee little ice cream machine (below, left) to a much bigger and better jawn (below, right) that can help us meet demand.

                          

Your pledge will help us fund that new ice cream machine so we can churn out LOTS more flavors, such as:

The Best Chocolate

Rocky Balboa Road

Philly Mint (Stracciatella with two kinds of mint)

The Brown Butter Brown Sugar Brownie Jawn

The 700 Level (Soft pretzel ice cream with Yards IPA-spiked caramel swirl)

White Coffee (Vanilla ice cream plus cold-steeped La Colombe coffee)

Take Me Out to the Phillies (Buttered popcorn ice cream with ribbons of salted vanilla caramel and crunchy peanuts)

Lemon Curd with Blueberry Basil Swirl

Deez Nuts (Vanilla ice cream with a cashew, macadamia, and Brazil nut butter crunch)

 

In addition to the ice cream machine, your donation will help fund the following:

*Production space rental

*Initial ingredients and packaging purchases, plus additional kitchen supply costs

*City health review, inspection and licensing fee

*Insurance

Stretch goal: If we receive additional funds, we will be purchasing an ice cream bike (like the one below) to help us make deliveries and keep our products cold at events.

Some sweet rewards: We’ve loaded our perks with plenty of ice cream—that’s why you’re here, right??—which gets you exclusive access before it’s officially on the market. We are also open to additional perk suggestions, so if you have something different you’d like to receive. Please let us know! ****Please note: We are unable to ship ice cream at this time, so all ice cream perks will be for pick up or local delivery.****

Thank you so much for your support!!!! We are grateful for all the help and encouragement we’ve gotten so far and we’re excited for Milk Jawn to take this next leap forward!

Sincerely,

The Milk Jawn team

Amy, Ryan, and Cathryn
