Big news from the Paleta Familia! 🎓🌟

Our incredible production manager and mamá, Diva Fuentes, just graduated with honours from NSCC’s Business Administration program! 🇨🇦🇨🇴

If you’ve ever had one of our paletas, you’ve tasted her dedication. From early mornings in the kitchen to late nights studying, Diva does it all with heart, precision, and a whole lot of love (and maybe a little mango too).

This business wouldn’t exist without her — and now she’s got the degree to prove what we already knew:

she’s a boss. 💼👑

Please join us in celebrating this huge milestone for one of the sweetest, strongest women we know. We’re so proud of you, mom. 💖

This historic general store has served the community for over a century, once a hub for shipbuilders and fishers and now a charming stop for travelers and locals alike. We’re thrilled to join the story and sweeten your seaside adventure.🍓🫐🏝️🎊

Whether you’re soaking in the Bay of Fundy tides, grabbing a lobster roll, or exploring the coast, pop in for a paleta—made with real fruit, rich cream, and the flavors of tradition and joy.🎊🌞

Las Paletas de Juan are back at Local Source in Halifax! 💕🥰🏝️

Sure, today’s weather isn’t exactly popsicle-perfect — it’s more "tea and hoodie" than "sun and shades." But sunny days are on the way, and in the meantime, these handmade treats bring a little summer to your tastebuds.🍓🫐🍑

Stop by and grab one… even if you have to eat it with a jacket on.🤟

The freezer’s full and the vibes are high. 🎊🎉🌞

We’ll be stocked all summer long, so come cool off with something sweet, small-batch, and seriously good.
