You should do an article on Covered Bridge potato chips. They are going through some drama this year.

CTV News Atlantic has been covering most of it. They haven't gone into much detail. I'm sure they're trying to protect the privacy of the family but there seems to be an interesting story there. They've got a big fire, an arrest, a dramatic 'leave of absence' and snacks.

Thanks for this comprehensive and fascinating exploration of such an amazing local enterprise ! I’ll be thinking of this when I dive into one of their tasty cartons of ice cream. So much to be proud of

Right on! Thanks Heather. You’re right. I’m constantly amazed when I stop to look around and see the awesome things that are going on right in our backyards.

Nice feature on Chapman's but I think you lost the plot a little bit. While their production procedures are an important focus their ice cream is F’n DELICIOUS!! Their frozen yogurt is always in our freezer and the cold brew coffee ice cream is to die for.

What is your fav flavour of Chapmans ice cream?.

And what is the favourite music to go with it?

I will offer up Canadian Moe Koffman with the Swinging Shepherd Blues while enjoying that Cold Brew Chapmans Ice Crean:

Lol!! Good point. I'm kind of a nerd for those other details, but you're absolutely right, their stuff is the best.

My go-to is their cherry chocolate. I haven't tried the cold brew coffee one yet though. I'm gonna look for it at the grocery store this weekend.

Here's a cool little tune for sitting and smiling and eating a bowl of ice cream while thinking about things that are a bit warmer: Big Sugar - All Hell for a Basement: https://youtu.be/T_ZjTH81dGs?si=_NbYNvvfUg7M4GrH

By the way, I really enjoyed your comment! Hope you have an awesome weekend!!
