This week, the old Royal Naval Dockyard is a much cooler place to be with BermyBerry freshly made frozen yoghurt now officially opened for business.Well-known family lawyer Georgia Marshall has branched out, and started the venture with her own Greek yoghurt recipe as the centrepiece.“I love the law,” she said. ”But, this was an opportunity to do something a bit different and fun! I am Greek, and all Greeks are interested in food and feeding people.”The yoghurt served by BermyBerry is good for you, Ms Marshall said. She explained it’s made out of fresh skimmed milk and fresh non-fat yoghurt culture. “One ounce is 25 calories, and our servings are four ounces, so that’s just 100 calories. We use fresh berries: strawberries, blueberries, as well as kiwis and other fresh fruit — that all helps to keep it low calorie. Or, you can sprinkle on chocolate chips or gummy bears to make it more sinful.”Many of today’s cruise ship passengers who flood the Dockyard area are looking for healthier snacks, and it is also a good choice for local consumers as well, Ms Marshall pointed out. BermyBerry is located opposite the Dockyard Keep and it is in a gazebo, making it is easy for tourists as well as locals to find.“We blend our own flavours. We always have our classic, unflavoured sweetened yoghurt, and we always have our BermyBerry blend — that’s our signature blend. It’s strawberries, blueberries and mango; people love that combination of fruit flavours. It does very very well.”In addition to the array of fruit-flavoured yoghurts, there is always a ‘sinful’ flavour, as Ms Marshall put it. They have offered peanut butter, which they had alongside strawberry, so customers could have the equivalent of a peanut butter and jelly snack. “The following week we did the Italian Nutella, which was really lovely. And we’ve had key lime pie. This week we are having coconut and cocoa — if you swirl them together, and top them with some slivered almonds, you have a frozen Almond Joy!“Usually we have a variety of different toppings: crunchy nuts, like walnuts and pecans, granola, and fun things like chocolate sprinkles, gummy cubs (a smaller version of gummy bears), and M&Ms in our signature colours.”But BermyBerry more than a yoghurt stand. Ms Marshall has worked hard to ensure that the new enterprise accomplishes many things. The outlet itself is a bright and cheerful lime green cube, and the decor features the colours of their vivid logo. There is a large screen television playing the You Tube favourite ‘Trip Of A Lifetime, Cliff Jumping in Bermuda’ on a loop. Hot pink benches look eye catching in daylight, and they are embedded with pebbles that glow in the dark at night. “And,” said Ms Marshall: “we have blue umbrellas!“It’s a wonderful spot to sit and look out over the boats and have a respite from daily life.”In addition to frozen yoghurt, customers can get drinks and snacks such as chocolate covered sunflower seeds, trail mix and sugar-free gummy bears. There’s also fair trade coffee.“We sell lime-green water bottles, which we fill up for free. It means a visitor could buy ten bottles of plastic bottled water, or buy one of our neon green bottles and fill up every time they go past BermyBerry.“I was keenly aware that I didn’t want to contribute to the garbage on the Island; I have gone so far as to find suppliers of cups and spoons that are biodegradable. The spoons, for example, are made of potato starch and are lime green. You can take them home and wash them and reuse them. But if you do throw them away they are not going to contribute to the garbage.“We compost all our cuttings from the fruit, and we purée as much as possible of our own fruit to flavour the yoghurts.“All in all, we’re trying to contribute to a healthier choice in a refreshing snack.”Ms Marshall said BermyBerry came together as a result of the work of professionals and craftsmen. “We used architects, contractors, tradesmen, designers and local suppliers. Everyone was local and produced this fabulous product,” she said.As well, Ms Marshall has taken the opportunity to hire 12 young Bermudians to staff BermyBerry. “Some are full time, and some are part time,” she said. In addition, she has young Bermudian Justin Burke on board as her manager. “He’s a Brock University graduate,” she said. “He has a degree in business and tourism; he is young and keen.”Reflecting the economic downturn, she said there were 150 applicants for the jobs BermyBerry created, and explained it had been difficult to make the decision about whom to hire.But she said the One Bermuda Alliance’s newly introduced duty exemptions for restaurant equipment and the fact BermyBerry is free of paying employment tax for two years is welcome.“It really does make it more palatable to do business,” she said.“And it has been a pleasure to be warmly received by all levels of Government; the Planning Department, Customs and Finance — Bermuda is a friendly place in which to do business.”And Ms Marshall does not plan to stop here. Dockyard is the BermyBerry flagship location, but she would like to supply grocery stories with her yoghurt.“And we’re looking forward to a second location in town,” she said.Prices are less than $6 for a small and less than $8 for a large. BermyBerry is open on Monday’s Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10am to 10.30pm, ad on Tuesday and Fridays from 10am to 5pm. On Saturdays they are open from 10am until 6, and on Sundays from 10am until 8pm.
