On Monday, for Valentine’s Day, FIS will be serving KY Proud Taylor Belle’s vanilla ice cream for lunch. Taylor Belle’s was started by Taylor Cook as a FFA project when she was 15 years old. She is now in college at UK and also running her business full-time. Her ice cream is sold at Rupp Arena and Kroger Field, and it is made with Kentucky milk and other products. Here’s a recent interview with her- https://www.lex18.com/community/best-of-the-bluegrass/taylor-belles-ice-cream-is-a-sweet-success
