July 17, 2020 Patches Family Creamery is in a more rural setting, although it is surrounded by neighborhoods with huge homes. Clearly, former farmers have sold their land to developers. They have a nice little playground as well as a large area of small animals including goats, pigs, and chickens….

July 17, 2020 We’re back on the official creamery trail again, having eaten cupfuls of Turkey Hill ice cream. Next stop, half an hour away, was Fox Meadows Creamery. They have a large building with a wraparound porch. Indoors is a shop and you can buy lunch as well as…

July 17, 2020 Traveling along Route 30 yesterday, Gregg spotted The Turkey Hill Experience. Turkey Hill is a popular brand of ice cream in Pennsylvania. They also make iced teas. After looking at their website and also looking at our remaining list of creameries to visit, we decided to take…

July 16, 2020 Oregon Dairy stayed open until 9:00 p.m. so we decided to head on over. They have a large compound including two large stores, we assume a grocery store and a farm resource store, the ice cream store with a large outside deck with seating, possibly a restaurant…

July 17, 2020 Sweet Willows Creamery was not on the “26 Creameries” list. They may be on another creameries list. When we realized we were close to it and it was open, we decided to go. It is a cute building on a busy road. During these pandemic times, they…

July 16, 2020 An hour drive took us to Perrydell Farm in York. There is a small store. They only sell ice cream through a walk-up window outside. The farm offers a paper for a self-guided tour through the farm. It was starting to rain so we didn’t check it…

July 16, 2020 Heading further west, we arrived at Lapp Valley Farms in around 45 minutes. This is a small Mennonite working dairy farm. The well-manicured grounds were peaceful and inviting. Their creamery has a large wrap-around porch with plenty of comfortable seating. It was relaxing to sit and eat…

July 16, 2020 Chester Springs Creamery is only open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays this summer. We drove by this quaint farm and creamery, just to make sure our info was correct. It was closed.

July 16, 2020 Fueled up, we were off to find the Liberty Bell. We passed many historic buildings and saw cool murals painted on buildings. The Liberty Bell is inside a building which is not open to the public now (none of the sights were open if they were inside…

July 16, 2020 Happy 98th birthday to my precious Great Aunt Lillian in Wisconsin! I love her and thank God for her. She is a gift to our family via marriage. ♡ Although I know that the world has slowed down for COVID-19, the lack of traffic at 8:15 a.m….
