Save Barts Ice Cream and Support the Community

Donation protected
Barts and Snows Ice Cream, a 100 year old producer and distributor of super premium ice cream located in Greenfield MA, needs your help to keep our ice cream operation going and to support our community!   

We are asking for your help for two reasons:

To continue operating from our Greenfield, MA facility and providing you, our valued customers with great locally made ice cream through 2020 and beyond and 

To support and continue the buildout of our Local Food to Local Families program designed to feed local families in need on a weekly basis.  

Since the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic hit earlier in the year, Barts and Snows, like everyone else, has been faced with formidable challenges.  Through this difficult time, our mission has been to craft and distribute all natural delicious ice cream to our valued customers, to maintain our staffing levels, and to provide assistance to those in our community in need.   We deeply appreciate our customers in the Pioneer Valley and beyond for their continued patronage through the decades and we feel we have a responsibility to keep our staff, continue providing you with this delicious ice cream , while doing what we can for our community in need. 

At Barts and Snows...

We are proud to say that given our strict protocols and commitment to excellence, we have not shut down one day during the pandemic!  We did not lay anyone off, we continued to make our delicious ice cream using locally sourced ingredients supporting our local farmers, and we distributed it to our retail partners for you to enjoy!

For those in our community... 

Farm Fresh Local Food to Local Families program.  We are transforming part of our facility in Greenfield MA, into a procurement and distribution center. Our goal is to connect our local farms and their fresh produce to our community with the hope of feeding 500 families per month.  

Ice Cream Sundae Boxes:   We began selling ice cream boxes in June with a portion of proceeds to benefit the MA COVID 19 relief fund.  We made our first donation for $2,500 and expect to make more donations throughout the summer because the need will be ongoing for a while.  

All of this is in jeopardy and we are now humbled to come here to ask for your support in order to help save the future of one of New England’s most beloved businesses in Greenfield MA, making sure our employees remain as healthy and financially secure as possible and to continue the buildout of the local food distribution operation.  

We know that this is a difficult time for everyone. We also understand that there are many individuals and organizations in need of similar help. 

If you are in a position to support us, we will be extremely grateful to receive your help. 

We take great pride in our longtime home in the Greenfield MA, and are extremely proud of our role as ice cream makers in the town for the past 40 years.  We want to continue to operate in Greenfield MA a historic community that has been deeply impacted due to the pandemic. 

With your donation our pledge to you will be to continue our purpose to uncomplicate life by crafting and sharing real ice cream as well as to continue to give back to our wonderful community.

Please share our story and message to your friends and associates!  Help save a New England gem!  

Thank you from all of us at Barts and Snows Ice Cream!
