After 75 years of production, Yarnell’s Ice Cream closed up shop late last month. The company was based in Searcy and employed about 200 workers. The dairy industry has been struggling for many years, and several years ago, the main dairy farm producer for Yarnell’s converted to a beef cattle ranch. That is among several financial factors that led to the shutdown.
Recently, Yarnell’s featured Razorback specialty flavors like the Pig Trail Mix and Razor Tracks. The local, family-run, independent business is seeking investors to purchase and perhaps reopen the facility.
