Starting Cloud & Joy, our dream is to create a company that makes a difference. We donate a portion of every pint sold to help Heifer International in it’s mission to end hunger and poverty while caring for the earth. And we want to share that Joy with you. Just ask, and we’ll donate an extra $1 on your behalf to Heifer. No strings attached.

*Note: Up to $200 total in requests per donation season. One donation/donation request per person (email). Our donation 'season' is 1 financial quarter.

About Heifer International

For 75 years, Heifer International has provided livestock and environmentally sound agricultural training to improve the lives of those who struggle daily for reliable sources of food and income. Heifer currently work in 20 countries, including the United States, to help families and communities become self-reliant. Their goal is to help families achieve living incomes, which will allow them to feed their families daily; educate all their children; and have proper housing, water, hygiene and other essential resources. One key program is the donation of livestock, such as milk cows and beehives, to communities to foster food security and economic sustainability. However, this is only one of the efforts focused on economically empowering communities and women, education, agricultural training and stewardship and more.

To help the greatest number of families move toward self-reliance, Heifer does not use its limited resources to track individual animals from donation to distribution to specific families. Instead, funds support the entire Heifer mission. They use donations where it can do the most good by combining it with the gifts of others to help transform entire communities. Heifer’s unique community development model has assisted more than 34 million families directly and indirectly since 1944 — more than 188 million men, women and children.

Now, with increased income from their milk cow, they are able to send their daughter Khatun to school and have a tutor! (Image courtesy of @heiferinternational on Instagram)

Our passion is encouraging a healthy relationship with food with a truly delicious scoop that helps people to keep a healthy, mindful lifestyle helping you live your best life. This means a commitment to clean and ethically sourced ingredients, use of local and smaller artisan makers in our flavors, and responsible marketing that doesn’t tell you to feel ‘bad’ because of what you eat (while not encouraging diet “deprive then binge” behavior)

Our 4 Principles

Ice cream is our passion (tasting & making it!) After a hiking accident, Ian was off his feet for almost a year. Sugar was out during recovery. That meant no ice cream! So Selina searched for low-sugar healthier artisan ice cream with rich flavor plus clean label & ethically sourced. Cloud & Joy was born from our frustration not finding that magical scoop…
