The Scoop @ Willow Oak Farms

A beautiful rustic and spacious ice cream place nestled out in the countryside of Fuquay Varina. I ordered the Nana Pudding. Definitely something that can be shared with two. I enjoyed the homemade loaf cake that complimented the ice cream. Enjoying ice cream on a rocking chair as the sun set gave me a nostalgic feeling of summertime moments as a kid. Overall this is a fun experience for anyone wanting to be away from the busy city and seeking a quieter environment. There are also farm animals one can feed and walk up to. As a major animal lover, I would like to express my concern during these blazing summer days.
