Sweet Alchemy Ice Creamery

Founded in 2016 by Lois Ko, who paired art studies with Penn State food science training, this WSDA-certified creamery operates on a remarkably tight farm pipeline. Its organic sweet cream base is prepared daily using ingredients largely sourced within 100 miles, moving from pasture to cone in an average of one week. That scratch approach extends into the shop-made sauces and mix-ins behind its rotating flavor selection, keeping the compact counter grounded in an easy neighborhood rhythm.
