I love how many gluten free options they offer. The ice cream tacos are sooo yummy and they always have gluten free options for those (as long as you get there before they sell out!). While I prefer just plain old vanilla ice cream, I have tried many of the ice cream taco flavors and they're all good! The GF chocolate oreo flavor is my second favorite. It's great thay they're open year round for that sweet treat fix!
Best pistachio I’ve had - it does smell like a farm but you get used to it. Ice cream is worth the trip.
Awesome place a very friendly place to go to.

The staff were super friendly, and the ice cream was absolutely delicious! Our order was served quickly, and there was plenty of seating available. Such a great spot to stop for a treat!
Super cute store, yummy food and delicious icecream!
Great ice cream flayvors. Tried ginger and it was downright refreshing. Nice indoor seating and gift shop. Outside smelled very farmy as expected but inside was pleasant. Sad there was no asparagus ice cream. It has been on my ice cream bucket list since last year when I heard they make it.
On our first visit we were able to sample the Hadley Grass. A novelty for sure but not bad at all. We also tried the Mint Chocolate Chip which was so fresh and rich that you could literally taste the "farm." Friendly staff and a welcoming feel overall!
Decades of delicious in a stellar setting! Cook farm offers rich ice cream of classic and creative flavors (like asparagus or Strawberry Rhubarb). They also sell Diemand Farm's frozen turkey pot pies, containers of milk (including chocolate and strawberry) and full and half-fat cream. It's a wonderful place to take a pause, view the cows and let kids enjoy the delights of a family farm!
Amazingly creamy and dense ice cream, don’t forget to meet the cows that made it! And try the local asparagus ice cream…. Not as weird as it sounds… surprisingly interesting! (But I went back for sweet cream with strawberries): )
Great ice cream, reasonably priced, with a beautiful view and cows in the background. They also offer great gluten-free options, including gluten-free waffle cones, plain cones, and even gluten-free ice cream tacos.
Working farm with homemade ice cream, beautiful place to watch the sun go down while gazing at the grazing animals and enjoying a sweet treat. Variety of traditional flavors as well as some originals. Request a small taste test before deciding! They are all so delectable! Young staff all very friendly and helpful. Make sure you leave a tip because they certainly work extra hard when the lines get long. Interesting history posted on a huge board outside tells us the story of the family’s original cow that inspired the ice cream, named Flayvor.
