Midland Fountainville Creamery Boasts Texas Ice Cream Flavors
Founded by JP and Beverly Hearn, Fountainville's flavors reflect the heritage and origin of their Oilfield families. In fact, the chef's great grandfather used to work oil rigs while great grandma rode in a covered wagon across Texas to Midland in 1903.
Fountainville's West Texas Flavors
