Many would argue that there's not many things better in life than ice-cream. But actually there is, FREE ice-cream! And even better when it's
Ben and Jerry's .
So skip lunch on
Tuesday 12th April and head straight to your
favourite Ben and Jerry's store. Click
here and tick the box marked 'Participate in Free Cone Day' to find out your nearest participating store. You can get your free scoop between
1.00 and 9.00pm.
As always, there will be all your favourite ice-cream flavours to choose from including: Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Phish Food!
Check out all the flavours on their
website - you can even vote for your favourite flavour
here .
I love Ben and Jerry's cause they actually do care. All their products are
Fair Trade, they use
responsibly sourced packaging and all their milk is sourced from farmers who are paid a fair share for their product and encouraged to farm in a responsible manner (under the
Ben & Jerry's Caring Dairyâ„¢ programme).
Eggs are cage free and their ice-cream is also
palm oil free. They support local businesses to provide employment for the disadvantaged - basically all their operations are managed to
ensure social and economic justice.
Make sure you let them know you're coming by
RSVP'ing beforehand.
And most of all enjoy your free totally delicious ice-cream. I think I will get the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough!
Can't make 12 April? Never fear!
Ben and Jerry's are currently touring Australia educating all of us on the current dangers to the Great Barrier Reef (in conjunction with WWF) -
Scoop Ben and Jerry's not the Reef . To help get our attention they will be handing out free ice cream scoops at select stores during April 2016. Check out their itinerary
here - if your local store didn't make the list, you can also request a store visit!
You can find out more about what's going on in our precious reef

More about Ben and Jerry's
If like me, you are a curious consumer, you may be interested to know more about Ben and Jerry's. It was started in 1978 by two buddies, Ben and Jerry, with just $12,000 out of a renovated gas station in Burlington, Vermont. The shop celebrated it's first birthday by holding a Free Scoop Day - and thus the tradition continues today.
Today they are a company that cares. They are passionate about fairtrade, marriage equality, climate justice and peace.
The Ben and Jerry's Foundation aims to engage employees, give to local communities (mainly in Vermont) and support social justice.
