COWamongus! Creamery and Meat Company was created in 2005 with the support of Texas Tech alumnus Daniel Brackeen, owner of Heritage Family Specialty Foods and creator of the TCBY yogurt chains. Brackeen set up a partnership between Texas Tech and his company, allowing the university no cost access to his company's equipment, technology and materials in order to develop homemade products.
The campus-based business offers a variety of flavors of homemade ice cream, sorbet and frozen custard. The sweet treats are made in the fruits and dairy lab just down the hall in Tech's Animal and Food Sciences building. Manager Kim Cannon said there's also a retail store where customers can buy meat and dairy products processed by Tech's Department of Animal and Food Sciences.
