Fudge Farm is the perfect spot on East Carson Street to satisfy your sweet tooth. They’re renowned for their ice cream cookie sandwiches, brownies, and milkshakes and for selling an extensive range of fudge, chocolates and other confections.
General Manager Don Heiduk has always had a passion for food but never imagined himself owning his own confectionery business. After working at a pizza place during high school, he decided to venture out on his own to pursue his hobby of fudge making. Over time his Solvang business expanded by adding a pretzel store, an ice cream shop next door, and mail-order fudge orders.
Over the weekend, two shootings on Chicago’s South Side caused businesses to close early and alter their customer service strategies. Fudge Farm announced they would close their East Carson Street location due to “security concerns.” This marks the second time in less than a month that an eatery has shut its doors after multiple shootings on this stretch of roadway.
