Partnering with Kilwin's ice cream and Cushman & Wakefield hosted a memorable ice cream social, drawing in tenants and neighboring businesses for a spoonful of community spirit. ![flteam](https://blog.procurant.com/hs-fs/hubfs/flteam.jpg?width=1590&height=888&name=flteam.jpg) Did you know that the [average American](https://www.idfa.org/ice-cream-sales-trends) consumes about 23 pounds of ice cream annually? Or that vanilla continues to be [America's favorite flavor](https://www.rd.com/article/who-invented-ice-cream/), followed closely by chocolate? These fun facts made rounds as guests indulged in many flavors. But the event was more than just a treat fest.![2023dairycowblog](https://blog.procurant.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2023dairycowblog.jpg?width=200&height=133&name=2023dairycowblog.jpg) In today's post-pandemic setting, it was a vibrant testament to the power of community and shared experiences. While ice cream's history dates back to the 5th century B.C. when ancient Greeks enjoyed a dish similar to today's ice cream, it was this very modern gathering that highlighted its timeless appeal. The dairy industry is an integral part of America's agricultural fabric. With the [U.S. Department of Agriculture](https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/ag-and-food-statistics-charting-the-essentials/ag-and-food-sectors-and-the-economy/) highlighting its contribution of more than $620 billion to the nation's economy each year, every scoop at gatherings like Procurant's ice cream social isn’t just a treat — it's a testament to the hard work of countless farmers, producers, and retailers. Such events serve as both a celebration of community and a recognition of the vital sectors that underpin these sweet moments.
