We also attribute the great taste of our products to the fact that over 2/3 of all the ingredients utilized to make our award winning products are locally sourced.  We start by using the best cream in Florida.  Our cream comes from a self-sufficient Florida Dairy which utilizes modern equipment to develop and maintain a complete environmentally-sensitive circle in the use of its water, waste and food.  The Dairy has built in every possible environmental aid to make it not only efficient, well run organization, but a good neighbor and outstanding citizen with good stewardship practices in a time which the environment has become an extremely critical issue.
