What distinguishes it as "organic" vs regular ice cream?

Most things Organic are not really so, if you dig into it's background!

Organic is more relative to $$$$$$$$$$$

I will not pay extra for so called 'organic', it is a marketing gimmick catering to the health food fanatics.

POSTON WIDEHEAD · January 10, 2016, 07:53:11 PM

Organic ice cream was made with no fertilizer. :D

elk42 · January 10, 2016, 08:20:59 PM

I was thinking that they use dung for fertilizer like goat dung and horse dung and so on. :D

For example!

There's a guy in this area that produces Organic Maple Syrup.

He has around 20,000 taps, scattered over several parcels of land, some 25-30 miles from his sugar house.

Now my question is how do they know that none of those trees got any chemicals up through their roots, or sprayed and absorbed through the leaves or bark?

Now if the trees have absorbed any chemicals, they "technically" should not be claiming that their syrup is Organic! :P

The kicker is, he gets more $$$ for his syrup than others in this area! :-\

Publix Super markets down here has a most excellent blueberry Ice cream. I'd try Wegmans although I haven't been in one for over 25 years I remember them as having a good selection.

Wondering why others don't make the same claim ?

I think it has to do with the amount of paperwork involved, and most just don't figure it's worth the bother!

Not organic but Saturday I had fig ice cream made with goat milk. Ate at a small restaurant along lake Winnebago that is connected to a goat dairy. Could see them milking from our table.

coxy · January 11, 2016, 09:39:48 PM

you had fig ice cream :-\ what was the texture like never had goats milk but they say it makes good ice cream

trapper · January 11, 2016, 10:26:13 PM

Soft and seedy but very good flavor. I like figs.

sawguy21 · January 11, 2016, 10:56:21 PM

Fig ice cream is quite good. Goats milk, well, let's just say that is an acquired taste. :

Don_Papenburg · January 12, 2016, 12:04:06 AM

Anything that grows or lives is organic according to my old webster's dictionary.

Bark Beetle · January 27, 2016, 11:05:17 PM

So under that definition if I buy organic ice cream it should either be alive or replenishing itself.
I would have to recomend mulberry ice cream. Your fingers will be purple after picking but man is it good

coxy · January 28, 2016, 06:53:12 AM

hey Bark Beetle you just gave me the name of that tree I have been thinking of for a month now those berrys are some good I was calling them black berrys that grow on trees 8) 8) thanks

sandsawmill14 · January 28, 2016, 07:38:24 AM

im with mooseherder on the peach ice cream but our is normally homemade

bark beetle i love mulberry to but 10-15 years ago ALL of our trees died out i dont know if it was some kind of blight or just age as they were all 24"+ dia but all died within 2yrs :-\
