Unbeknownst to me, I have become a member of the media, and as such I received an emailed press release from the Farmer’s Cow, which will soon be releasing a line of locally made ice creams. Since I love ice cream, and since I approve of local foods, I thought I’d pass it along, despite the fact that it has nothing to do with politics. Without further ado:
THE FARMER’S COW HOLDS NAMING CONTEST FOR NEW ICE CREAM LINE
Lebanon, Connecticut, January 27, 2010 – The Farmer’s Cow, local dairy farmers providing Connecticut-produced fresh milk, cream and other products, is inviting area residents to help name the flavors in their own locally-made ice cream. There are ten different flavors to name and one lucky entrant will win a summer’s supply of ice cream.
“We’re very excited about our upcoming ice cream line,” says Robin Chesmer, managing partner with The Farmer’s Cow. “The cream and milk for the ice cream will come straight from our farms and the ice cream will be made right here in Connecticut. Our goal is to make a rich and creamy treat, which is the freshest you can buy.”The ten flavors that need names are:
· Vanilla
· Chocolate
· Chocolate Chocolate Chip
· Mint Chocolate Chip
· Strawberry
· Cookies & Cream
· Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip
· Peanut Butter Cup
· Cherry Vanilla
· Coffee“The flavor choices were narrowed down by those who responded to a survey conducted on our website and at our appearances throughout Connecticut in 2009,” says Chesmer. “The response was so positive that we want to further include our fans in this fun, exciting product launch. We’re hoping even more people will put their creativity to work and come up with some great names.”
Names will be accepted during a two-week period from February 1 until midnight on February 14 at www.thefarmerscow.com/icecream. All entries will be reviewed by the farmers at The Farmer’s Cow and considered as names for the flavors. One lucky entrant will receive a summer’s supply of ice cream beginning on Memorial Day and lasting until Labor Day.
“All of the naming guidelines and rules are on our website,” says Chesmer. “We’ll announce the winners at the end of February. Our first ice cream will be available for your purchase by Memorial Day.”About The Farmer’s Cow
The Farmer’s Cow is a group of six Connecticut dairy farms that produces fresh, hormone-free milk, half & half, and heavy cream for Southern New England. They also sell Connecticut-sourced, all-natural eggs, apple cider, seasonal beverages, and coming soon – ice cream. The Farmer’s Cow products are available throughout Connecticut and are available at most major grocery stores and many independent markets.

Let me add that while I approve of this endeavor, I wholly disapprove of their flavor selection, as just about all of my favorites are missing. However, if you don’t vote, you can’t complain, and I have to admit that I didn’t exercise my franchise when they were picking the flavors.
