Only in Bucks: The Best Gift Card in Bucks County

 
 
    
 O JOY!
How cool is this???!!!!

O Wow Cow Creamery is gifting its customers one of my notecards, with images taken all around Bucks County, along with each 2012 Holiday Gift Card purchased!

For those of you NOT familiar with Owowcow, they make the best ice cream in all of Bucks County.
 
Not only that, the Owowcow family seeks to support local farms and farmers by purchasing all the ingredients they can locally!  The ice cream is hand crafted daily, and it's pure, organic, chemical-free and delicious, with the emphasis on local. Freshly baked cookies and pies, Bucks County roasted coffee, and crafts and jewelry by local artisans fill both shops! It makes them feel great to work with all these amazingly talented Bucks County people. And since Owowcow is supporting local artists like me, I wanted to return the favor by posting some photos of the lovely items you can purchase at either store with an Owowcow Holiday gift-card.


Locally produced honey from Mondjack Apiaries,
the same honey used in some of the ice cream to add to the flavor and texture!
 
Garden Berries, a blend of four Bucks County backyard berries...
...Raspberries, Strawberries, Blueberries, and Bilberries.
 
Savor a scoop of Cashew Caramel.

With lots of butter, and organic lavender from Peace Valley Lavender Farm in Doylestown.

using local and seasonal fruits each week.
