Item Description

Growing up in rural Vermont without electricity, working on his grandfather’s dairy farm after school, Erlé LaBounty was far more concerned with lunchtime than recess. At home, he made clandestine trips to the refrigerator to nibble on whole sticks of butter. 

 

Since then, Erlé has transformed this natural obsession with gastronomy into a career, graduating from the New England Culinary Institute in 2001 and working with chefs, pastry chefs, and bakers in Vermont, Alaska, New York, and Italy. In the late '90s he founded Farmhouse Truffles (in honor of his grandparents' farmhouse, where he began making his chocolates), and in 2012, LaBounty wed flatlander (aka non-Vermonter) Eliza La Rocca. 

 

In 2015, the couple branched out into small batch ice cream and sorbets, relying on local dairy and produce. Now La Rocca processes small batches of ice cream from scratch, using organic Vermont milk and cream, local eggs, seasonal produce, and the finest herbs and spices; pasteurizing each batch in house, carefully crafting each flavor from start to finish.

 

Our Mission: to bring outstanding, handmade chocolate and ice cream to you.

 

Enjoy!
