When we started Borealis Creamery in 2022, we had a simple goal โ to share small-batch, artisanal ice cream made from hand-crafted, all-natural ingredients with Grand Rapids and the surrounding communities from a little black food truck.
What happened next became so much bigger than we ever imagined.
Because of you, Borealis Creamery grew from a dream into something woven into celebrations, lake days, brewery nights, family traditions, first dates, wedding desserts, late-night pint runs, and countless memories we will carry forever.
Today, we are incredibly excited to announce that Borealis Creamery is entering its next chapter with new owners, Abi and Sam Hussman of Heroes Rise Coffee. Their energy, vision, and passion for community make us truly excited for the future of Borealis Creamery.
This business became what it is because of all of you โ our customers, staff, wholesale partners, friends, and family โ and we will never be able to fully express how grateful we are for the support you have shown us over these past four years.
And donโt worryโฆ you wonโt get rid of us completely. We will still be involved during the transition to help keep the magic going.
From the bottom of our hearts โ thank you for an amazing ride.
Much love,
Kate, Steve & Fletcher Hanke
