Owowcow Dishes Out $6K For Local Fruit Tree Growers

BUCKS COUNTY, PA — Thanks to its customers, Owowcow will be donating $6,000 to local fruit tree farmers who continue to recover after being hit hard by a late freeze that devastated their crops earlier this year.

Throughout the summer, the Bucks County-based creamery donated a portion of every fruit-flavored scoop, pint, handheld, or sundae to the local fruit farmers.

"Every scoop and every visit this summer helped make this possible," the creamery posted. ".We are so grateful to our customers for always showing up to support our community."

The money will be given to the Bucks County Foodshed Alliance, which is raising funds to assist the orchard growers. To date, the alliance has raised more than $30,000.

"At Owowcow, our core mission is rooted in supporting local agriculture," said founder John Fezzuoglio in announcing the fundraiser at the beginning of summer. "We create our ice cream using their beautiful seasonal produce, and right now, our partners and friends need us more than ever. To show our deep gratitude and stand by them during this difficult season, Owowcow is donating a portion of all proceeds from every fruit-flavored scoop, pint, handheld, or sundae sold over the summer directly to the impacted farmers."
