Many of you had longed to taste the delicious native PawPaw fruit that grows right here in Harford County, Maryland so we finally created the perfect opportunity to enjoy them in the best way possible, a limited…first ever…special batch of Broom’s Bloom ICE CREAM! This brand new Broom’s Bloom flavor was only available at this event and a couple local farmers markets but sold out in a matter of hours. It was made from real PawPaw fruit grown and picked by Deep Run PawPaw Orchard. The fruit is only ripe for a few weeks each year so it was truly a special treat!
To make the day even more special, from we featured lots of PawPaw related items such as a limited selection of whole fruit for purchase to take home and try / plant seeds, stickers featuring the local butterfly that uses the PawPaw tree as its host- the Zebra Swallowtail, free coloring book pages for kids, and young PawPaw trees that guests could buy and plant in their own backyard from Kollar Nurseries.
A huge thank you to everyone who came out to support us and our local businesses! The event was truly a success and we hope to expand it next year!
* Event made possible by a Tourism Grant from the Harford County Office of Community & Economic Development
