Twenty-seven summers in the making
Bob Wisecarver worked in insurance around Boston; his wife’s career was in education. For more than 27 years, the couple spent their vacations in Bar Harbor.
In 2005 they bought the Dreamwood Hill building at 369 Rt. 3 and spent years remodeling it with their daughter and local carpenter Brian Shaw. In 2008, Udder Heaven opened its doors.
The shop sold a regional distributor’s premium ice cream at first. In 2012 they started making their own, and today more than 60 flavors of hard ice cream, soft serve, frozen yogurt, sherbet, sorbet, Italian ice and non-dairy desserts are made in-house.
It is a first job for many local kids, and the shop gives back through the Bar Harbor Backpack Program, Garden Club scholarships and employee scholarships.
