Crafting Ice Cream, Culinary Creations, and Community with Melinda Shaw

Enticed by her delicious ice cream and kitchens creations, we had to talk with Melinda Shaw, founder and owner of Hangry Bear Creamery in Kennett Square. Melinda shares how her love of food and background in hospitality led her to open a unique ice cream studio that goes far beyond scoops and cones. We dip into the science behind real ice cream, the importance of using local ingredients, and how community partnerships have shaped her business. From boozy shakes to a wonderfully eclectic yet family-friendly meals, Melinda offers a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to run a creative and community-focused creamery.
