Their award winning products have taken over Australia by storm- We also stock delicious Italian sorbets made by Andrea and his team at Topolino Gelateria in Wodonga.
Flavours vary and depend on what is in season. We stock a few all time classics along with some more exotic flavours.

STEFAN HEINTJES
The boss (he thinks)
Stefan has worked and travelled all over the globe. From kayak instructor to dish pig, delivery driver to farm hand. A Jack of all trades, master of none. Well....... he is a qualified physio- but that involves sitting in a little room all day.
After settling in Australia 5 years ago he ended up working in disability care but realised quickly there was lots of potential being wasted. Inspired by shows as
' Employable Me' and the successful 'Brownies & Downies' franchise based in the Netherlands he decided to take a gamble and start Scoop21.
With the business he wants to help people find meaningful work and have a laugh & build friendships at the same time. He enjoys cooking, tinkering in his shed, lifting others' spirits and playing with his dog Ziggy.
JESSEE DAHLENBURG
The real boss
Jessee is Stefans partner and her fathers side of the family hails from the Yackandandah region. She grew up at her parents' cherry orchard & vineyard in Eldorado. Still managing the yearly cherry harvest with Stefan and a team of friends
Jess is a graphic designer by trade and works together with her sister from their design studio in neighbouring Beechworth. You will see her frequently at the Eldorado Road cellar door as well.
Jess has a heart of gold and a 'can do ' attitude. She has lost her wallet, keys and phone more often than you had hot dinners- but always manages to keep her head cool and make things work out. Without her support and assistance there would be no SCOOP 21 !
In her free time she likes reading, gardening and has an interest in sustainable design and fashion.
