Jacksonville Food Trucks: 3Moms Ice Cream Truck

Passion Fruit-Mango Bar and Sno Cone

13. Are there any items you carry that are more Southern and may not be as popular outside of the South?

Jeff: I wish, but we don't. The closest thing we have to a Southern item is the Key Lime Sandwich. It's a huge part of our Southern plans though - we want to have a Pecan Pie Ice Cream Sandwich and to use sweet potatoes somehow in the ice cream. So, I have a lot of Southern ideas. And being a Northerner my entire life and now living in the South I have a huge appreciation for Southern food.

14. Does your selection change a lot?

It depends on the function we're working with. If we're downtown or out at a large event like fireworks, then we'll bring our full suite of everything we carry. For many of our events though the person requesting the event may have a menu in mind or a price range they want to work with. In those cases we'll put together something that suits that event.

15. Do you have a particular area of town you're focused on?

We're really nomadic. We've been as far north as Georgia to promote the opening of a battery store. We've gone to St. Augustine, Green Cove Springs and Middleburg dozens of time. We're all over, from the Beach to the Westside, Mandarin and anywhere really. When people call us and want us we'll travel pretty well anywhere that's reasonable.

16. Do you have a regular schedule for being out?

We're out both days and evenings - whenever people have events they want us at.

17. How long does a booking typically last?

We've had a booking as short as about 20 minutes and as long as 10 hours.

18. Do you have any public events that you do on a regular basis?

We will do festivals and things like that when we're invited. But they're more event by event and not necessarily on a regular schedule. We're not currently downtown. We will be, eventually, when we start producing our own ice cream. At that time we'll find a home at places like the Riverside Arts Market or some of the local farmer's markets. As it stands now we're super busy and focused on direct bookings.

19. How do people book your truck?

It's mostly through email and our website. We're also on Twitter.

20. How far in advance do people generally need to book you?

We like to do bookings a week in advance. We will take last minute bookings, but they're harder to work with because many people want very special items and we need time to properly stock the truck with treats that will appeal to their specific audience.
