***NEW UPDATE 4/9***

It’s working again!! Long live chocolate!

*************

The chocolate machine is not holding its charge and not functioning again. There is likely a large leak in the refrigerant that we have to identify and fix. I am so sorry but we are trying to get someone here to fix it asap

I am so sorry Chris 😢

***UPDATE***

Chocolate is back! Thanks a million Matt and Carissa over at Schell!

Our chocolate machine just stopped working. Sorry 😢

It happens sometimes, but I know how important it is to everyone! I have requested my repairman, but I don’t think he can look at it until tomorrow afternoon or Wednesday morning.

I will keep everyone apprised of the situation!

Currently we have vanilla, lemon, strawberry, and strawberry/lemon twist.

Again, my apologies but we will get it up and running asap!

Thank you! 🍦 🐢 🍋 🍓

It's National Frozen Custard Day! 🍦
There's nothing ordinary about frozen custard. In fact, we would call it eggstraordinary! Frozen custard’s rich texture comes from the addition of egg yolks. At Meadowvale, we blend fresh milk and cream from local dairy farms to create a true Midwest classic that customers adore from coast to coast. Plus, our Premium 10% Vanilla Custard Mix is crafted with real vanilla extract (no artificial flavors), and our Chocolate Frozen Custard contains cocoa that is Fair Trade Certified. Taste the best of the Midwest with Meadowvale Mix!
