PUMPKIN OR APPLE??
I was eating lunch at the Metropolitan Ice Cream Co. in downtown Jackson last week when they added the first carton of Pumpkin Pie ice cream to their cooler, and while I’m not a huge fan of pumpkin-flavored treats, I have to admit that I did enjoy the sample I was handed to try… in fact, I could see myself ordering a scoop or two if I hadn’t been full from the amazing burger and ranch-seasoned fries I’d just devoured.
As I continued to browse their ice cream options, I discovered another favorite fall flavor: Country Apple. And then I found myself wondering which fall flavor people prefer…
P.S. If you haven’t made your way to one of Jackson County’s orchards or farms yet this season, there’s still time! Be sure to enjoy some of the local flavors of fall and support our local small businesses in the process.
See Good + Do Good
That’s our challenge to ourselves and to Jackson County. Here is an example of doing good we’ve seen recently…
-
