Farmer Katey Evans had a challenge - extra, farm-fresh produce that couldn’t be sold to her large grocery customer because of imperfections. She turned those misfit fruits into profits by turning them into sorbet, and frobert™. Her Frozen Farmer products can be found on shelves nationwide and her journey is as inspirational as it is aspirational.

SHOW NOTES

The Frozen Farmer is the perfect indulgence, sustainably crafted. Rooted in the tradition of our third-generation farm, The Frozen Farmer makes naturally indulgent frozen confections from our own family recipes. Crafted from sustainable, upcycled ingredients for a taste that’s full of flavor, not fat and sugar, for an indulgent treat you can feel good about. An entrepreneur, innovator, and the co-founder of The Frozen Farmer, Katey Evans appeared on ABC’s critically acclaimed, Emmy nominated television show “Shark Tank,” not once—but twice—in 2020. During her first appearance, Evans landed a $125,000 investment deal from now-partner Lori Greiner for her farm creamery business in Bridgeville. Katey is passionate about her platform of reducing food waste by sustainably sourcing “upcycled fruit” in The Frozen Farmer’s line of frozen confections. The inventor of “Frobert,” a frozen dairy dessert that cuts the calories and fat in ice cream is smart, natural, and sustainable without sacrificing flavor or creaminess, Evans has taken The Frozen Farmer from a shoestring startup to a brand that will have nationwide distribution in 2021. Katey recently launched d2c sales online, shipping into nearly every state in the U.S. in under four months. Katey is a recipient of the 2020 Delaware Business Times 40 Under 40 Awards, a past recipient of a $50,000 USDA Value-Added Producer Grant, has earned a Blazing New Trails Award, and has been featured as a speaker at the Delaware Women in Agriculture Conference, the Grow + Fortify Summit, Delaware Social Media Conference, Sussex County’s Today and Tomorrow Conference, Delaware Ag Industry Week, the Women in Hospitality Conference, and was recently invited to participate in the Global Food Forum with USDA Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue, where she was the only female farmer representing the food production industry. Katey is a member of Delaware Women’s Workforce Council, aimed to achieve gender equality in the workplace in the First State, and has obtained national certification by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) for The Frozen Farmer. A mother of three, Katey is involved in growing the farm-to-school partnership with local school districts in Delaware that serve her fresh homegrown produce in their school cafeteria. Furthering her farm-to-school efforts, Katey hosts field trips on her family farm and is passionate about agriculture education and agri-tourism in our state.
