JB'S BARNYARD HISTORY

IMG_7973.JPG

So where does the name “JB’s” come from?

Meet Jared and Briley, the husband and wife duo who are the founders of JB’s Barnyard! Jared and Briley are Indiana natives and proudly make their ice cream on their own land near Evansville, IN. When you get ice cream from JB’s, you won’t be able to miss the insane positive energy these two bring! They are crazy passionate about their ice cream and even more in love with their community!

While in college at Western Kentucky University, Jared and Briley would often be found at Chaney's Dairy Barn. Briley worked at Chaney's Dairy Barn milking cows and scooping ice cream in their ice cream shop. After college, Jared and Briley moved back home to Evansville, IN. 

With a desire to one day have a farm of their own, Jared and Briley founded JB's Barnyard in 2021 as a fully mobile ice cream business. From 2021-2023, JB's Barnyard sourced their ice cream directly from Chaney's Dairy Barn. With the incredible help of the Chaney family, Jared and Briley were able to kick start their business while learning how to make that irresistibly tasty ice cream!


With a lot of hard work and determination, JB's Barnyard began making its own ice cream on Jared and Briley's land near Evansville, IN in 2023! JB's Barnyard now sells their ice cream using their mobile ice cream trucks, their indoor freezers, as prepackaged scoops, or at wholesale locations!
