      I live in Eugene and am a way-too-regular-for-my-waistline customer of Red Wagon Creamery. Not only do they make what is probably the best ice cream in Eugene (and Eugene may actually be the amazing ice cream capital of the world!) but Stuart is a wonderful resource for local food. I don't think I've ever gotten a cone when I haven't also gotten a tip about some other local food resource, whether it is the latest news about the Springfield farmer's market's plans to go year round, a new local food company, or just what's particularly good at the market today. Stuart is a wonderful community resource for his ability to make connections, and do so naturally and without making you feel like you are being sold something. An investment in Red Wagon Creamery is more than an investment in good ice cream, it is a solid investment in the local and agricultural economy of Eugene, Springfield, and all of Lane County.

      Note: I like Red Wagon Creamery so much that my sweetie made a Kickstarter pledge himself as a Valentine gift for me!

You move in rarified ice cream circles, and it isn't enough to just eat good ice cream -- you deserve to know HOW it's made. So, for this pledge, you will host an ice cream party at your house for up to 10 people. Emily will take you through the making of two flavors step by step, and (of course) you get to eat what you make. If you're out of town, you get a custom DVD with step by step instructions on making two flavors, along with a rockin' t-shirt to wear while you make it. You also get a spot on our website's Wall of Fame.

This is for the true ice cream benefactor, someone who wants to spread the gospel of Red Wagon's all-natural ice cream. Emily will come to your home and host an ice cream party for up to 10 people. At the party, you will work with her to design YOUR OWN flavor. We will then sell your signature flavor at our cart for at least six months (so, yeah, we will make sure the flavor ROCKS!). If you're out-of-town, you can either pay for her to come to you, OR, we'll design the flavor with you via Skype, then send you a custom DVD explaining how to make your flavor, along with the same ice cream machine we use now. Not only do you get a spot on our website's Wall of Fame, we'll even put your photo there. Or a photo of your pet. Your choice.

Estimated Delivery: Oct 2012

The little red wagon—is there anything more emblematic of childhood?

Chef Emily Phillips was first introduced to the world of handcrafted ice cream as a little girl in North Carolina. She and her sisters would make ice cream with their Mom using fresh, local ingredients. It was so good, Emily begged to take it around their neighborhood in her little red wagon to earn spending money.

That’s the inspiration for not only the name – Red Wagon Creamery – but the mission. After ten years as a chef, including stints at the 5-star Matakauri Lodge and Carrington Golf Resort/Karikari Estate Winery in New Zealand, Chef Emily decided to take her chef experience and combine it with her love of locally-sourced, all-natural ice cream.

With her culinary background, Chef Emily is able to make ice cream that combines fresh, local ingredients with responsible exotics to achieve flavor profiles that are a far cry from what we’ve settled for in ice cream. Using fresh, local, hormone-free milk and cream gives the ice cream a robust flavor and mouth feel that takes you back to when you were a kid—when ice cream was made from real, honest ingredients.

All our ice creams are handcrafted in our commercial kitchen in Eugene, Oregon, by Chef Emily and her husband (and lackey) Stuart.

Together, they’re saving ice cream—one scoop at a time. So, give them a lick!
