Our Story
Owners Carrie & Chris Durden's lifelong dream was to live in the mountains and in 2008 that dream came true. Ellijay offered a lot for our active family of five from mountain biking, hiking, river tubing, kayaking, to afternoon's at the lake on the boat. Having our cabin in the mountains with so many outdoor activities it felt like we were on vacation once we stepped in our home from a busy day.
But one thing was missing from that vacation feel for us and that was a place for good ice cream. The number one thing that our family has every night of our vacation is ice cream and it is the first that we search for in our vacation destination's. With our home now in Ellijay and it being a vacation destination for so many other families a second dream was developed. Our dream now was to have a hand-dipped ice cream shop in historic downtown Ellijay.
After several years of planning our dream became reality with the opening of MooBears Ice Cream & Treatery. We have tasted several brands of ice cream and have worked hard to bring our customer's what we feel is the best ice cream selection from Ashby's Sterling, a creamery in Michigan. This is a family business right down to the selection of the name for our ice cream shop, which of course was created from our kids on one of our family outings on a beautiful day in Gilmer county.
Carrie & Chris would like to thank our family, friends and community for the support they have given us, along with your business.
We hope you enjoy the ice cream as much as we do!
Moo!
