The company has been scooping since 2010, when its first shop opened in Whitefish, and makes its ice creams, sorbets and non-dairy flavors in a Whitefish kitchen using ingredients such as huckleberries, Flathead Lake cherries and Missoula honey. Google lists it open noon to 9 PM daily at the inexpensive price level. It is a simple evening stop after a park day when you are staying in Kalispell.
