Lavoie said that害羞草研究所檚 part of where the name came from. 害羞草研究所淏etter Together was a bit of a wink at that. We feel that the community coming together is great, but also for our kids and us to come together to build this business, and of course the fruit and the ice cream being together is just better than if they were individually independent of one another.害羞草研究所�
