bout Us

 

Hey there! Thanks for visiting and wanting to learn more about who we are!

​

We are Doug and Karen Harper, a husband and wife team and the proud owners of Harper's Ice Cream Co.

​

Our calling to the ice cream industry came after Doug became obsessed with learning to make homemade ice cream during the Pandemic. He turned our home kitchen into an ice cream testing lab, and our friends and family were his taste testers. After a few years of this, he resigned after 35 years of working as a physical therapy assistant to follow his dream of opening an ice cream shop. 

​

I have always loved ice cream. Some of my most cherished memories are of the ice cream shops of my childhood. When Doug announced he wanted to try his hand at owning an ice cream business, I was all in! 

 

Our shared vision is to grow this little ice cream business into a thriving company that brings the best ice cream experience to Southern Oregon. We dream of a fun, family-friendly gathering place for all seasons to make the sweetest ice cream dreams come true. 

​

See you soon!
