ONCE UPON A TIME.......there were cows in Brooklyn. And the cows grazed on Brooklyn's lush ample hills. Although the cows are gone and the grassy hills have made way for rows of brownstones, the pastoral small-town spirit of old Brooklyn lives on at our neighborhood ice cream shops and in the playful, nostalgic flavors we create.We named Ample Hills after Walt Whitman's poem Crossing Brooklyn Ferry, which speaks of the connectedness of people across time and space...What is it, then, between us?What is the count of the scores or hundreds of years between us?Whatever it is, it avails not-Distance avails not and place avails not. I too lived-Brooklyn of Ample Hills, was mine.We opened Ample Hills Creamery in the Spring of 2011, terrified no one would show up, and wholly unprepared for when they did. We were novice entrepreneurs and new parents, at the start of a wild and rocky ride. We dedicated ourselves to making ice cream the old-fashioned way, slowly, by hand. Some of our signature flavors include Salted Crack Caramel, Ooey Gooey Butter Cake, The Munchies and Snap Mallow Pop! These playful, whimsical flavors reflect the creativity of our Amployees, the vibrancy and spirit of our community, and our daily pledge to not take life too seriously – or at least ice cream.Brian & Jackie
