Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is right around the corner, have you made plans yet? Don’t be one of those people who waits until the last minute! Traditionally, people choose brunch for this special day. If you’d like to try something different, make reservations at a nice restaurant for Saturday evening instead of Sunday day. By doing this, you can avoid the crowds, and even start a new tradition. In addition to having a meal out with your family, buy your Mother some nice roses and candy; she did raise you after all!

Kerber’s Dairy Farm

If you find yourself in Irwin, PA, and are in the mood for some ice cream, be sure to stop by the Kerber Dairy Farm. Besides producing a wide variety of quality dairy products, the Kerbers also make premium ice cream. So, what does “premium ice cream” mean ? Well, simply, it means having a high butter fat content. The more butterfat in an ice cream has, the better it is. Higher levels of fat mean a smoother, fluffier texture and a pleasant, soft aftertaste. Besides being rich, Kerber ice cream is also dense; free of excess air. Combine these two qualities in an ice cream, and the result is a close-to-perfect product.
