Professional Title: Owner & Ice Cream Socialist
Where do you work? Wanderlust Ice Cream & Sorbet
How long have you had this profession? I bought my first freezer March 2011
1. Tell us 3 things that only a person working in the ice cream making industry would know:95%
of the ice cream you eat is made from a pre-made base that is then mixed with flavorings, as opposed
to using fresh ingredients and natural fruits/flavors. “Premium” ice cream means higher fat, not higher
quality. And vegan ice cream can be just as good as the dairy stuff!
2. What is the coolest thing about your job? I love being a part of the farmer’s market community
and supporting local small-scale farmers and fellow food entrepreneurs.
3. In 2-3 sentences, what kind of schooling/training do you need to be an ice cream maker? You
need a good understanding of the mechanics of commercial ice cream manufacturing and the science of
ice cream. There are a number of very good books and courses offered around the country. As a small
business owner, a strong grasp on marketing/branding and finance/accounting can’t hurt either.
4. What are the obstacles of someone working in your profession? Starting a business from scratch
is a daunting task in itself. It’s challenging competing with larger, well-established companies with far
fewer resources at your disposal.
5. What (personality) characteristics would you say make for a good ice cream maker? Persistence,
creativity, and a healthy constitution for processing all that sugar!
6. How did your parents react when you chose this profession? They thought it was a hilarious joke.
Look who’s laughing now.
