These women are getting paid to drive around and eat ice cream

"They both were eager to do it," he said. "They thought they actually would enjoy having somebody on the road with them — somebody they already know. Honestly, I couldn't have dreamed of a better scenario than having Maddie and Mia as our ice cream officers."

The trip of about 1,000 miles and many more calories is slated to begin in the Penn State area on June 25 and wrap up about a month later. Along the way, Smith and Svirsky will be visiting Tanner Brothers Dairy in Ivyland, Merrymead Farm in Lansdale, and Chester Springs Creamery at Milky Way Farm in Chester Springs.

Each of the ice cream officers will be paid $5,000 for their services, and their travel, meals, and lodging expenses will be covered by the association. To qualify, they had to be residents of association's service area of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, New York, the District of Columbia and parts of Virginia. About 100 people applied for what meant be the sweetest summer job ever.

The dairies are looking forward to their visitors, Carney said.

"We're so excited," he said. "Anything we can do to draw attention to these farmers and businesses is great for us."

Their ice cream officers, meanwhile, already had their game plan.

"I am driving, and the plan is that Mia will be navigating and kind of editing the content while I drive," Smith said. "So we have it all mapped out."

As food influencers, they're looking forward to the experiences that await them.

"We're getting it straight from the source," Svirsky said. "You see the cow, and it's like mom made the ice cream you're licking. I appreciate that it's local, it's not mass produced. You will be able to taste the milk and the dairy and appreciate the actual flavor of what real ice cream should taste like."

Smith also does a lot of work in travel, as well as food.

"Mia and I are also really excited because we're getting to actually stay in Pennsylvania," Smith said. "So in addition to meeting all the dairy farmers and the people who make ice cream, we're going to stay and experience all Pennsylvania has to offer."

But, she added, they're taking it all seriously. To them, this is business.

"I think one thing that people kind of forget is content creation takes a lot of work," Smith said. "The production of the video is really a full-time job."

At least now they don't have to keep it a secret anymore.

Smith's parents can now let loose.

"My boyfriend has been counting down the days," Svirsky said, "so that he can tell everyone because he's just so, so excited."
