Always delicious! It's one of those places you want to tell everyone about but dont at the same time because you want to have it all to your self. We haven't had a single flavor we didnt love. The only sad part is when you fall in love with a seasonal flavor and it goes away, but dont worry there will be a new delicious option to choose from. My daughter also loves seeing the cows.

This is not just a creamery where you can get fresh milk and cream. They have an ice cream cafe! They make shakes, floats, scoops of ice cream, and homemade waffle cones too! So good! It's worth taking a little drive. They also have a playground and the cows are friendly. Overall, it's clean, excellent quality, family friendly, and the staff is polite and very helpful.

My love and I enjoyed eating delicious ice cream in waffle bowls. The staff is friendly and helpful. We picked up some milk to take home with us.

A true local treasure! I went here for the first time on Dec 23rd and immediately had to come back today, the 27th. It’s that good. Their milk contains the A2 protein and is noticeably easier to digest and offers a smoother milk. Their ice cream is absolutely wonderful and my new all time favorite place. The creamery is approximately 30 mins from my house but certainly worth the drive every time. They sell pints of ice cream, milk, and cuts of meat! Truly a gem and I look forward to every visit.

Drove over an hour (from Charlotte) to check this place out after seeing a TikTok about it. I arrived on a Sunday about ten minutes after it opened and it was already packed! I got a scoop of the toasted coconut ice cream and it was so creamy and delicious! I overheard some other customers (from the UK based on their accent) talking about how this ice cream is better than any they’ve ever had. The line moved quickly and there is plenty of seating both inside and outside. From reading the website they offer tours of the dairy farm during the week and on Saturday. This is a good family friendly place to visit!
