Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia Ice Cream Pint Non-GMO

Ben & Jerry's Cherry ice cream pint with cherries and fudge flakes is a tribute to guitarist Jerry Garcia and his fans everywhere, and it all started with a piece of fan mail. Back in the day, before smartphones and social media, fans spoke to the company via handwritten notes pinned to the bulletin boards at their Scoop Shops. In 1986, one persistent fan mailed a postcard to the main office in Burlington, Vermont, suggesting that super premium ice cream should meet great guitar solos. This genius idea immediately inspired Ben to create the iconic Cherry Garcia flavor, which debuted in 1987 and quickly became one of their top three most popular flavors. The first eight pints even went straight to Mr. Garcia himself, who gave them two thumbs up.

As for the anonymous fan who sent the postcard, Ben & Jerry's sleuths found her and thanked her with a trip to Vermont and a year's supply of their ice cream. Since then, it's been a long, strange trip, but Ben & Jerry's commitment to producing the world's best frozen desserts in the most responsible way possible remains. Like all of their flavors, Cherry Garcia is made with non-GMO sourced ingredients, cage-free eggs, and Fairtrade certified cocoa, sugar, and vanilla. The responsibly sourced packaging ensures that the goodness from their Vermont factory reaches your freezer.

Cherry Garcia is the first ice cream named for a rock legend and the most famous of Ben & Jerry's family of Fan-Suggested flavors. This euphorically edible tribute to Jerry Garcia and Grateful Dead fans everywhere is made with cream, skim milk, liquid sugar, water, cherries, sugar, egg yolks, coconut oil, cocoa, fruit and vegetable concentrates, guar gum, natural flavor, lemon juice concentrate, butteroil, and carrageenan. Ben & Jerry's ice cream pints are also Certified Kosher and use soy lecithin. Enjoy!
