Ice Cream

Heidi Castillo. I am a third generation female entrepreneur, community builder, and co-founder of Mezcla Ice Cream. I am primarily a community builder. I enjoy bringing people together. It’s not out of character for me to host dinner parties and gather with people I’d like to learn more about. I am great at connecting like minded individuals and activating them to achieve amazing things. I am comfortable engaging people with unique ideas, participating in framework building, and encouraging others to support in implementation. I launched Mezcla because I’m obsessed with creating a sense of belonging and connection. It’s one of the fastest routes to building intimacy with customers.

  • The origin of Mezcla Ice Cream started with family. The word Mezcla means blend or mix and it represents not only the ingredients found in ice cream but also the diversity in my family and the quadrants of the City of Lancaster.

  • Our ice cream is made with low fat milk and has more air giving the texture of gelato.

  • Our axolotl's name is Lu.
