Real Fruit, Real Ice Cream, Really Good!
When our founders visited New Zealand, they not only encountered the beautiful culture, but were met with the joy of trying what Kiwi’s call ‘Real Fruit Ice Cream.’
We hope that our ice cream can be a vehicle for something greater: focusing and participating in the rich communities we are located in, spreading happiness to our customers and our team members, and striving towards sustainability goals.
We believe in sincerely connecting with customers and creating a company culture that puts our teammates first. Like every worthwhile mission, the journey to this point takes time. From the beaches in Hull, MA to our beautiful Brookline, MA storefront; we are excited to see where Far Out goes next.
