This is our story.
Mountain Fresh Italian Ice started in the spring of 2013 for two simple reasons: 1) We saw the need in the world for a healthier alternative to most of the desserts being served and 2) Because we REALLY wanted to move to Montana and didn't have jobs.
We left the security of our teaching jobs in Georgia because Montana is where we want to be and raise our family. Mountain Fresh is a true family business and very much a group effort. Our business values are in line with our family values and we do our best to be good stewards. Knowing the disposable nature of this business we are sure to use fully recyclable and compostable materials in our single serve packaging
(corn, paper and foil - no plastic). We use organic cane sugar and non-GMO plant powders for color to
support practices that minimize chemicals.
I spent two plus years developing the recipe and I am proud to say I do not believe there is a better frozen dessert out there. Our line of all natural flavors are some of the cleanest label, most wholesome, delicious desserts on the market. No common allergens. No dairy. No fat or cholesterol. No Gluten or soy. We use plant derived colors rather than food dye, organic cane sugar and this stuff is absolutely addicting.
We first served Mountain Fresh at the Livingston, Montana Farmers' market and it is now widely distributed in the Northern Rockies, California and the Mountain West. Katie is now the head of the math department (yay lady!!) at Gallatin College/Montana State and I left my teaching job at a small rural school to run Mountain Fresh full time in 2019. Our daughter is now in college and is dad's favorite production assistant. Thank you for your support and interest! Look for us on the freezer shelves of your local grocer, convivence stores and concession stands!!
