Cajou Creamery, a plant-based ice cream company located in Baltimore, is the only one of its kind. Husband and wife Nicole Foster and Dwight Campbell opened the creamery in 2016 to provide their lactose-intolerant children a healthier and natural alternative to the sweet treat.
On their website, the couple states their goal is to "make ice cream better—better tasting, better for your body, and better for the planet." To do this, they craft super-premium ice cream options using whole superfoods free from chemicals, artificial flavors, or fillers.
Foster and Campbell make the bases for their ice cream using handcrafted plant milks. Foster said, "We make the bases ourselves, and we flavor them ourselves." The seven flavors they offer are inspired by their passion for travel and international cuisine, including sweet potato, blueberry cheesecake, baklava, horchata, kulfi, cortadito, and Mexican cacao.
Aside from providing healthy dessert options, the couple has opened up opportunities for the incarcerated. Foster said, "We feel really deeply committed and passionate about giving returning citizens an opportunity—not only at a job, but because we are transitioning to a worker-owned co-op, an opportunity at ownership, and we hope by doing this we can transform communities."
Cajou Creamery's ice creams can be found in Whole Foods and other stores, restaurants, and markets in the DMV area. Additionally, the treats are available at natural retail stores nationwide. Foster and Campbell are also working to expand their business with a second location in Baltimore.
