WHO: Ice Cream Anarchy is the culmination of my (ICA’s founder, chief ice cream maker and bottle washer, Susan Bernstein’s) love and appreciation of food, flavor, and quality ingredients. It is the result of growing up in Brooklyn and working at Peter’s Ice Cream Parlor and realizing the simple magic ice cream can make. Of blasting punk rock while cooking and dancing around my tiny New York City apartment. Of traveling around the world and eating exotic food. Of falling in love. Of moving to Calgary. Of having two little boys who love to eat treats. Of wanting to create something pure, fresh, and free of the additives that too often clog our food choices and bodies. Of creating something that I can feel good about sharing with my family and friends.

WHY: My search to create new, adventurous ice cream flavors has naturally led me to become a part of Calgary's growing locavore movement – something I really believe in, especially now that I have children of my own and really really care about what they put in their bodies. Working with local farmers and artisans has allowed me to create a whole greater than the sum of its parts, with flavors both sweet and savory that are never boring, always fresh and not for the faint-at-heart. Ice Cream Anarchy is ice cream for the playful adult and the sophisticated child.

I make it, you eat it. It’s really that simple. The last week of the month, members receive an email announcing the following month’s flavor. You pick your delivery date and I get to work making ice cream just for you. Two pints are then HAND-DELIVERED to your house (or place of business or hairdressers) soon thereafter.

You must be there to receive your ice cream. If you are going to be away, please employ a trusted friend to accept it for you. We stress trusted, to underline the distinct possibility of consumption.

**Don’t you agree Calgary needs more delivery??? I don't know about you, but if someone drove in the hovering-around-zero-degree-weather to my house with, say, delicious Thai food, hot Italian, exotic Chinese, ICE CREAM or fresh bread I would be so, so grateful.

2 home made pints that you can’t get ANYWHERE ELSE, made from mostly organic, fresh and local ingredients, DELIVERED TO YOUR HOME, will set you back $25 bucks a month. Memberships are available for 3 months, 6 months, or even a year!

Members must live within the delivery zone. In the north of the city, you must live south of 32nd Ave. between Deerfoot and Crowchild. In the south, you must live north of 33rd Ave. and between Blackfoot in the east and 29th Street in the west.

 

Absolutely. And we will even bring extra spoons for you to share with your co-workers...because you will be sharing.

Yes, as long as the recipients live or work within the zone.

Perhaps! Nothing is set in stone (anarchy!) If there is a great need for ice cream outside of the zone, and, let's say, you and five of your neighbors all want Ice Cream Anarchy, I feel certain we can accommodate.

Yes.

Payments are accepted via Pay Pal or cash under the table.
