July 15, 2020 A seven-minute drive took us to Merrymead Farm. They have a small store with baked goods, jams, chips including Charles Chips, Beeman’s chewing gum (although not teaberry flavor), and more. They are selling their scooped ice cream only through the outside window. I almost splurged and picked…

July 15, 2020 We are beginning to get out of rural PA as we continue heading towards Philadelphia. Freddy Hill Farms is in a suburban town. It has a small store along with the ice cream bar. They also have putt putt, batting cages, and a playground. Interestingly, they sell…

July 15, 2020 Well, Google was correct on this one. The Nesting Box is closed today. This appears to be a small, family farm that sells eggs with ice cream as a side business. It reminded us of Footprints Farm close to our PA home. The proprietor came out to…

July 15, 2020 Crystal Springs Farm was a 40 minute drive, just long enough for me to post. The creamery after Crystal Springs is half an hour away, although Google thinks they are closed. We will double check it ourselves. Exiting the car, my nose was filled with the confirmation…

July 15, 2020 The trip from The Lands at Hillside Farms to our next stop was an hour and a quarter. This took us through the Poconos, where Gregg and I honeymooned 32 years ago. Two thumbs up for Happy Holstein Ice Cream! This is a working farm, open for…

July 15, 2020 Thirty minutes after leaving the Milkhouse Creamery, we arrived at Lands at Hillside Farms. It is a non-profit foundation of local community folks who are working to keep farming alive. They have training, educational, and retail areas. It is on a large acreage. The store is quaint….

July 15, 2020 The Milkhouse Creamery was a wonderful Second Breakfast! The small shop is adorable! The atmosphere is cozy and the employees are hospitable. Along with a glass bottle of their delicious chocolate milk, Gregg had a scoop of Fluffernutter Banana and I had a scoop of teaberry. Both…

July 14, 2020 Yes, we are obsessed! We are moooo-ving up the road to begin more of the ice cream trail tomorrow! Our first stop is four hours from our PA house, so we decided to get a jump start tonight. We’d hate to miss ice cream for second-breakfast. (wink)…

July 11, 2020 As we headed home on our 2.5-hour drive, we passed many barns with cows in their stalls, being milked. Thank you, ladies! The scenery was beautiful and serene, mountains and valleys, farms, barns, animals, crops, and fields of varying colors. The sun set around 8:45 behind the…

July 11, 2020 Our last stop of the day was about 6 minutes away, not even enough time to begin composing a post. Stock’s is a walk-up window stand that sells some food, frozen ice, soft serve, and scooped ice cream. Because of COVID, it was difficult to see their…
