THE HARDEST WORKING TODDLER IN ALL THE LAND
Posted by: Turkey Hill Team
Remember a few weeks ago when Ernie said he first started working in the dairy industry when he was about 18 months old? That’s right, Turkey Hill’s official ice cream tester got his big break carrying empty milk buckets to his dad when he was milking the cows.
Well, the folks in our customer service department worked a little magic and dug up the picture below of a very young Ernie hard at work on the family farm. According to Ernie, this picture was probably taken sometime in March or April of 1940.







If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.

August 9th, 2007 at 11:31 amWhat an adorable little boy! Something in that smile seems to know that hard work carrying empty bottles today will pay off in the end with all the ice cream you can taste-test!
