I agree with that. Back in the day, Weeks Dairy supplied base to many places that "made their own". I recall hearing that in the early days they even supplied Ben & Jerry's.

Without knowing details, I'd guess that Sawyer's used to "make their own" and said so on the website, but perhaps the web site was not updated fully when the business sold? It is also possible that Gifford's contracts to make ice cream to Sawyer's specifications, so it may "really" be Sawyers.

I've never seen anybody unhappy when eating ice cream, so I draw the conclusion that ice cream is medicinal: it cures depression.

Where in Paugus Bay is Liliuokalani's, by boat?
