Here at Fairmont Market, we're passionate about bringing you the best local products, and that extends beyond our own farm-raised meats. We believe in the power of community and supporting fellow local businesses who share our commitment to quality and craftsmanship. That's why we are absolutely thrilled to introduce you to one of our partners: Island Homemade Ice Cream!
This summer you can find their incredible, small-batch ice cream scooped right here at Fairmont Market. But who are the faces behind this delicious treat, and what's their story?
Island Homemade Ice Cream was founded in 2004 by Patty and Gary, who set out to produce delicious ice cream in small batches, ensuring every scoop felt and tasted genuinely "homemade." In 2020, Bob Lake took the helm, continuing their legacy while expanding the reach of their beloved ice cream. The name "Island" Homemade Ice Cream comes from Vermont's own "Islands" – a beautiful secret nestled in the northwest corner of the state, encompassing South Hero, Grand Isle, North Hero, Alburg, and Isle LaMotte, all surrounded by the picturesque Lake Champlain and the Green and Adirondack Mountains.
Their mission is simple: to ensure the whole state (and beyond) can continue to enjoy the evolving original recipes and homemade touches that come with this "frozen happiness." They are truly "Made in Vermont by Vermonters," and they pride themselves on using high-quality, often local, ingredients. It's this dedication to their craft, their roots, and their commitment to exceptional taste that resonated deeply with us at Fairmont Market.
We are so happy to be able to support another fantastic local business that pours so much care and quality into their products. When you enjoy a scoop of Island Homemade Ice Cream at our market, you're not just getting a tasty dessert; you're supporting a network of local producers and a shared vision for exceptional food.

And don't forget to stop into Fairmont Market this summer to experience the incredible flavors of Island Homemade Ice Cream for yourself! It's the perfect way to cool down and enjoy the passion of local entrepreneurs.




Recently started playing Eggy Car game on mobile browser and it runs surprisingly smoothly. Perfect little game when you only have a few spare minutes.
Tried out Nano Banana 2 for generating images from text descriptions. The updated version feels more responsive and the output quality has improved noticeably. Works well across different styles from photorealistic to illustrated.
ankitabasu is quite user-friendly. Even if you are new, it doesn’t take time to understand how it works.
I like how the website avoids unnecessary clutter.
