Hello again! Remind us who you are and what business you started.

Hello again, my name is Stephen Layton and I'm one of the owners of The Good Scoop located in Dixon California. We make our own ice cream by hand in small batches using fresh ingredients. We take great pride in making the best ice cream possible and like to have fun while bringing a smile to people's faces. The Good Scoop has some standard flavors but we also make flavors that change with the seasons. Some of her best-sellers are cookies and cream, chocolate, and our version of Cookie Monster. We use natural blue coloring to achieve blue flavor for a Cookie Monster ice cream along with house-made edible cookie dough and all-natural chocolate cream cookies.

This has been a challenging year for all businesses including ours. Our sales have been all over the board, when COVID first hit it was initially a huge drop then we got busy for a short bit, then once again we were slow only to get busy again. it's truly been a wild ride this year. I know that we are not alone and that nearly all businesses are having to adapt and deal with a highly unusual year.
