Pumpkin Ice Cream Release (dairy and vegan)

Pumpkin Ice Cream returns Friday, September 29th to The Hop Ice Cream!!! We have again teamed up with Lee's One Fortune Farm for local pumpkin Ice Cream! We take their Japanese pumpkins, called Kabocha, roast them at The Creamery, and puree them with our blend of seasonal spices straight into our dairy milk or vegan pepita milk base.

The Hop Ice Cream has been an Asheville institution since 1978, with imaginative and locally-influenced flavors. Owners Ashley and Greg Garrison opened their first downtown location at S&W Market. The menu features homemade dairy and vegan ice creams, classic milkshakes, sundaes, desserts, and made-from-scratch waffle cones. The Hop’s flagship flavors (Salted Caramel, Vanilla Bean, and Chocolate) will be offered alongside a variety of staples and rotates flavors — often featuring local ingredients and collaborations with Asheville businesses.

"The Hop is by far our favorite ice cream place in Buncombe County. We love their homemade ice cream varieties, friendly atmosphere & the support they give to the community..."
