Sibby's Premium Organic Ice Cream Launches

"VIROQUA, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Following the devastating Midwest floods of August 2007, recovers and is back at full production. The seven year old manufacturer also has announced the launch of new packaging and the debut of their first organic ice cream parlor in Viroqua, Wisconsin.

Sibby's Premium Organic Ice Cream, a 100% woman-owned, independent ice cream manufacturer was founded in 2001 by 'Sibby' or Sue Sebion who heads the company.

Sibby, whose business barely survived the catastrophic floods of August gleams, "After seven years of struggle and then enduring the flood disaster, I finally feel prepared for growth and success; my new packaging is incredible, I have the support of Whole Foods and coops like Outpost [in Milwaukee, WI], and we have national distribution... most importantly, I'm making some amazing ice cream! We also send a heart-felt thanks to the generous donors and especially sowtheseeds.org who helped collect the disaster relief funds. And of course, I wouldn’t be here without my many loyal customers.”

She continues, “It’s wonderful how a big company like Whole Foods stood by me while we were down. Whole Foods CEO John Mackey is genuinely committed to embracing their local suppliers… I am a living testament to that.”"
