Lee’s Peach Ice Cream

Lee’s Peach Ice Cream (dairy and vegan) goes on the menu at The Hop(s)!!! For this release “Summer Sweet” peaches, grown by Lee's One Fortune Farm, are pureed right into our 16% butterfat dairy and from-scratch pepita milk ice cream base, spun, and complemented with a housemade peach compote swirl for added bursts of flavor. You can expect Lee's Peach to be on the menu for the next two weeks or so :)

The Hop and Lee’s One Fortune Farm have had a wonderful relationship for several years, but it all started with Peaches. Lee’s has been growing a diverse and enormous crop of peaches, regularly adding new, typically-Asian varieties and more trees. In 2019 Tou Lee reached out to The Hop about making these into ice cream for the WNC community to enjoy (including for Tou and Chou Lee to sell at markets). The partnership was struck and has been thriving ever since. It has now also expanded beyond peaches to strawberries, kabocha (Japanese pumpkins), purple sweet potatoes, and many other fruits and vegetables. Beyond their work as a farm, Tou and Chou Lee are amazing people whose genuine care for their community and customers is truly inspirational.
