Jeff Isaacson started Honey Bee Ice Cream
Company the summer of 1974 in downtown Glenwood Springs Colorado. Having learned how to make frozen desserts from his
Mother as a young boy, and then working as a commercial beekeeper in Western Colorado, he ultimately blended these two activities
in to a sweet commercial enterprise. Having a bountifull surplus of Rocky Mountain Honey as a pure simple sweetener
for his burgeoning ice cream and Italian Ice business, this was a perfect culinary match. While working directly with
the orchardists as a beekeeper, Jeff had direct access to the 'fruits' of his labor to produce fresh organic sorbets and gelato.
In many instances from tree to cup or cone was mere days, customer direct was not just a statement, it was a fact! While
Jeffreezz was making his delicious ice cream, his customers continued to demand a steady source of his mouth-watering treats.
While tending to his bees during the week, Jeff had found that his steadily growing fans of the 'Freezz' were lining up at
festivals and faires on the weekends and the demand was growing each summer. Now Jeffreezz produces over 2 dozen
flavors utilizing special blends of varietal honey and his favorites include floral essences and spices.
While Jeff specializes in gelato of non-dairy based ingredients, he
continues to manufacture his custard based organic ice-cream. We have been procuring much of our milk and cream
from Morning Star Dairy from the Eastern Slope of Colorado.
Jeffs gelato which are of the Sicilian Style are made primarily of fruits and a multitude
of sweeteners; including varietal honeys, maple syrup, turbinado sugar, raw cane sugar and our own home grown stevia.
We are in close proximity to some of the finest fruit orchards on the Western Slope of
Colorado. We pride ourselves in procuring certified organic fresh fruits for all of Our products.
