  • The family-owned dairy farm, MOO-ville Creamery, had one location with limited local distribution. Then it was named Michigan’s Best Ice Cream Parlor by MLive. Today, owner Troy Westendorp said they produce 733% more ice cream and distribute to most of West Michigan. “We made 12,000 gallons in 2012 when we won the contest and now are making 100,000 [gallons] a year!” said Westendorp. The Nashville, Michigan based creamery has expanded to three locations and are known for their innovations, creative flavors and community focus, thanks to the support of Michigan’s Best and MLive.

  • "My experience with MLive during the Covid-19 crisis, has been exceptional. They have proactively reached out and adjusted our campaigns both in spending and the message mid campaign without missing a beat. Going forward in these uncertain times they have also made sure to let us know that they are willing to work with us on contracts etc etc. It has been during this experience that they have shown, through their customer service, that they are concerned with what’s really best for our organization and have proven to be true partners in every sense of the word. I am grateful for our partnership now more than ever."
