Brotherly Love (of Ice Cream )

R Wikkerink has been into food since he was young. Well actually – he still is young. At age 17, he’s already been the founder of Screamin Brothers frozen treats for seven years. If you’re not into math, that means he started his business at 10 years old. And that’s not even the most exceptional part of the story…. Like most kids, JR and his little brother Dawson loved ice cream. So much so, that JR got an ice cream maker for his 10th birthday. Around the same time, the family discovered that Dawson had food sensitivities that wouldn’t let him enjoy his favourite treats. So the kids got creative and JR started making ice cream with coconut milk so Dawson could eat it. Pretty much everyone can have this product, says Dawson. (Incidentally, if it was my little brother with food sensitivities growing up, I’d have eaten ice cream bar after ice cream bar in front of his face, not gone out of my way to make him a special treat. These kids are remarkably mature.) And they didn’t stop there. The family was in the process of adopting two Haitian children when a devastating earthquake hit in 2010. Joseph had come home to Canada just weeks before, but David was still at the orphanage in Haiti, along with about 50 other children. JR and Dawson decided to sell their frozen treats at their parents’ stand in the Lethbridge farmers’ market and give
that money to the orphanage. And they sold out, week after week. “We started our company to help children,” says JR. It was Dawson, now Chief Financial Officer of the company at age fifteen, who realized they had the power to help more children. A lot more. Today, Screamin Brothers donates five per cent of net profits to support children locally and internationally. Donations go to food banks, Right to Play, STARS Air Ambulance and more. Both boys admit that running a business while going to high school is a challenge. Just last night they pulled a night shift so their dad could make deliveries to Calgary in the morning, says Dawson. They also travel a fair amount for the job, whether it’s heading to Toronto to be featured on Dragons’ Den or visiting South America to source fair trade organic raw cacao. But they’re committed to the cause. “If you’re passionate about something, you can find the time,” says JR. So what’s next for these successful young entrepreneurs? Dawson has a chemistry test Thursday and JR has a math exam Friday they tell me. July Stockboy Special $6.53 each

B. C. CHERRIES six ways
1. FRESH This is without a doubt the best way to eat B.C. cherries from our market. Our supplier spends every Monday and Tuesday scouring the Okanagan to bring us the very best cherries in B.C. so just grab a bag and go nuts.
2. COCKTAILS These don’t *have* to be alcoholic, fresh cherries will brighten up any drink you please. Try them with gin, sangria, sparkling wine, whiskey and lemonade. Shake or muddle the cherries for extra flavour.
5. BAKING Okay this one seems obvious, but with our ultra-meaty B.C. cherries you’ll need fewer cherries to fill a pie. So make a pie (and if you freeze a couple you’ll thank yourself later), a pan of chocolate cherry brownies, a cherry berry crumble, the list is endless really.
6. SAUCE It seems sacrilegious to boil these beautiful cherries, but if you have overripe cherries on hand, better cook up a compote and serve it on ice cream. But we have to ask – why do you have overripe cherries? Eat them immediately!
3. GRILLED Yep, grilled. The concentrated sweetness of cooked cherries with a slightly charred smokiness is what dreams are made of. Add balsamic vinegar and throw on a pizza, salad or chicken skewers.
4. CHEESE PLATE Aaah, an evening on the patio with your favourite wine and a cheese plate to share is summer relaxin’ to the max. Pair fresh B.C. cherries with Iberico, Alfred le Fermier or aged Gouda.
Our produce teams taste tested these giant cherries at C & C Family Orchards in Osoyoos, B.C.

KEBABS
Trendspotting
Food on a stick is soooo summertime. Grab thick cut beef, lamb, chicken or pork and vegetables kebabs, grill 'em up and add your favourite barbeque sauce. Or choose beef tenderloin, chicken or pork belly skewers mouthwateringly marinated in our house made sauces and add some sizzle to your summer.
Summer is easy and your food should be too. Picnicperfect sandwiches, meat on a stick and wild sockeye salmon are some of our favourite things this month.
WILD SOCKEYE SALMON
GRAB 'EM AND GO!
Fish fans will agree – this is a full flavoured salmon that tastes very, well, salmon-y. In a very good way. Bake or pan fry with a citrus glaze, minced garlic or simply salt and pepper to let the scrumptious flavour shine.
IBERICO Just as winemakers blend varietals to produce wellrounded wines, Duero has blended three different milks to produce this smooth, mild cheese with layers of flavours. No wonder it's one of the most popular cheeses in Spain. Regular Price $4.99/100g
Hot carved from the kitchen or readywrapped in the Grab 'n' Go section, our sandwiches are portable perfection.
July Stockboy Special $4.29/100g
