Young’s Dairy ice cream coming to Kettering, Troy
The OinkADoodleMoo barbecue restaurants in Kettering and Troy will begin serving Young’s Jersey Dairy ice cream on Monday, Feb. 13 under a partnership announced by OinkADoodleMoo’s founder and president Mark Peebles.
The two barbecue restaurants — at 3910 Far Hills Ave. in Kettering and at 1600 W. Main St. in Troy — will give away free vanilla and cotton-candy ice cream to the first 100 children 12 and under through the doors this Monday (Feb. 13) starting at 11 a.m. until the ice cream is gone, Peebles said this morning.
Each of the restaurants will carry eight of Young’s most popular flavors, including Vanilla, Chocolate, Cookies ‘n Cream, Mint Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter Cup, Butter Pecan and Cotton Candy, according to an OinkADoodleMoo news release. The ice cream will be available in individual serving sizes and in pints for sharing or carryout.
Peebles said the partnership will allow OinkADoodleMoo to grow with one of the state’s most recognized ice cream brands.
“I grew up going to Young’s,” Peebles said in a news release. “I have so many memories on the farm. Now I take my own kids there.”
OinkADoodleMoo began in fall 2009 with the opening of its first location at 322 Union Blvd. in Englewood, where it has a partnership with JD’s Old Fashioned Frozen Custard. In 2010, the restaurant chain added a lunch trailer at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and its Far Hills Avenue location, and it opened its newest location in Troy in October 2011.
Peebles said OinkADoodleMoo is looking to expand beyond the Dayton area this year and has deals in the works for locations in Columbus, Cincinnati and Toledo. The business was recognized in March 2011 as among the “Top 100 Movers & Shakers” by FastCasual.com.
Young’s Jersey Dairy owner Dan Young said he was approached by the owners of OinkADoodleMoo about a collaboration. “We visited their place and liked the atmosphere and the food, and the fun vibe of the owners, the managers and staff,” Young said. As part of the collaboration, Young’s will sell OinkADoodleMoo’s bottled barbecue sauces in its gift shop.
Young’s Dairy has a similar reciprocal sales agreement with Schuler’s Bakery in Springfield and sells its ice cream in three-gallon tubs to a few independent operators such as The Corwin Peddler along the bike path in Warren County, Fountain on Main in Springfield, Kanoe Cafe in Tipp City, Beans & Cream in Cedarville and Freshwater Farms in Urbana, Young said.
All of Young’s Dairy ice cream is made at the farm on U.S. 68 north of Yellow Springs from a 15 percent-butterfat mix of cream, pasteurized milk and sugar.
