He’s an ice cream maker for Camp Ice Cream in Medicine Hat.
“I’ve always wanted to be in the food business serving people in that way,” Durksen said. “I think it’s a really great opportunity because people need to eat, people need to eat well and this is just one step in the process for that.”
Camp Ice Cream partners with local farmers, breweries, and coffee shops to help make their creations come to life with local ingredients.
“I think that’s what makes the ice cream that much more special,” Durksen added. “It’s not just preservatives and chemicals in a box, it’s fresh ingredients that we can play with a lot.”
