Our Story
Having launched as a Benefit Corp. in 2010, the Baltimore based Taharka Brothers Ice Cream Co. is a for-profit and for-community social enterprise managed and operated primarily by college aged young adults. We use our award-winning ice creams, sorbets, and business initiatives to champion the fight for a better, brighter, and more "Taharkafied" world. Our offerings serve as a vessel for the continuous flow of cultural understanding, economic and social justice, civic involvement and, of course, good times!!!
Repping various parts of a city steeped in struggle, we've thought deeply about friends, families, futures, hopes, 'hoods and heroes asking ourselves hard questions. Could we promote peace, social and economic justice to communities both local and non-local via an ice cream business? Could we make a good living and have crazy fun? We also thought on things that have inspired us, both sung and unsung human rights warriors that have made our world a more just place. We meditated on the struggles in the 'hood, the music that maintains us and the writers and poets that sustain us. And of course we contemplated food - good food - and yes, those who go without food. We believed we could create a little sumthin' that might, if done right, make a big difference (in a sweet way) in both our lives and the lives of others.
This is our contribution.
Welcome to the funkafied family, loved ones!!
With mad love,
Your new big Brothers
