Our ice cream is made in small batches and crafted from scratch in Hotchkiss, Colorado, using as many organic and locally sourced ingredients as possible. We even make the things you find in our ice cream, such as cookies, cakes, homemade marshmallows, and fruit ribbons! Every batch is cooked, pasteurized, and frozen individually, allowing us to preserve peak flavor and freshness. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, our process results in ice cream that’s richer, more vibrant, and genuinely more fun to eat.

Founding Days

Third Bowl Homemade Ice Cream is the creation of ice cream lover Kendall, who wanted to bring fresh, natural, superb homemade ice cream to her community. She started making ice cream at home, sharing her creations with friends and family, and was overwhelmed with the response she got.
