Bennett Cohen was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1951.
Ben interned as a craft therapist at Jacobi Hospital in the Bronx and at the Grand Street Settlement House on the Lower East Side.
Ben was there for approximately three years, building his own house and working as the school cook in addition to teaching pottery, stained glass, photography, film making, and the yearbook.
Childhood friends BenCohen and Jerry Greenfield took a correspondence course in ice cream-making from Penn State University-- Agriculture 5150-- and founded the company in 1978 in a renovated gas station in Burlington, Vermont.
To coincide with the lawsuit BenCohen and Jerry Greenfield also began the "What is the Doughboy afraid of?" campaign to raise public awareness.
After a failed attempt by BenCohen to return the company to private ownership, Ben and Jerry's was purchased in August 2000 by the Unilever conglomerate for slightly over $326.43 million.
