Kelly's Homemade Ice Cream

About Us

Kelly has always had a passion for ice cream.
Visiting my uncle’s dairy farm as a kid may have been the
beginning of that obsession. Though I later became a nurse by
trade, I’ve never known a time when ice cream wasn’t the
center of my day—and I wouldn’t change that for the world.
Together with my husband, our inaugural batch of Kelly’s ice cream was born in the
tiny kitchen of our first home. Juggling this new venture around the responsibilities of
my nursing job—all while raising our new family—was quite the challenge. We didn’t
know where we were headed. We just knew we were doing what we loved.
In the early days, we’d cart our frozen favorites to local farmer’s markets throughout
the city, slowly introducing our newest flavors to anyone willing to try a scoop. Along
the way, we developed a loyal fan base of hungry customers and original flavors that
have become signature staples on our menus. We owe much of our success to their
support and feedback during those early days of tasting and experimentation. Seeing
their smiles and enthusiasm for our ice creams was motivation to keep our humble
little business going. As time progressed, Kelly’s Homemade Ice Cream slowly blossomed into what it has
become today. We went from a pink food truck (that still rolls through the city today),
to our first brick and mortar store in Audubon Park, to multiple scoop shops and
counters throughout the community. We’ve carefully grown our ice cream company without losing sight of our purpose—
to make ice creams of the highest quality, at a reasonable price, while giving back to the community
