Frequently Asked Questions
Why is farm ice cream better?
Farm ice cream is made with fresh milk and cream from the farm's own dairy herd, often churned the same day. Higher butterfat content creates richer, creamier texture. No long-distance transportation means maximum freshness. Many use traditional recipes without artificial additives. Real fruit, local ingredients, and small-batch production result in superior flavour and quality.
What makes dairy farm ice cream different from shop-bought?
Farm ice cream typically contains 50-100% more cream than commercial brands, creating much richer texture. It's made in small batches allowing better quality control. Ingredients are often organic or locally sourced. The milk comes from their own cows, so freshness is guaranteed. There are fewer stabilizers and artificial ingredients compared to mass-produced ice cream.
Can I visit ice cream farms year-round?
Most ice cream farms are open year-round, though some reduce hours in winter. Many have indoor seating and facilities making them appealing in any weather. Some offer seasonal flavours - fresh strawberry in summer, Christmas pudding in winter. Year-round farms often have additional attractions like farm animals, play areas, or walking trails.
Do ice cream farms offer dairy-free options?
Many dairy farms now offer dairy-free ice cream options made with oat, coconut, or almond milk. Some make sorbets using fresh fruit. While not all farms cater to dietary requirements, awareness is growing. It's best to call ahead or check their website. Some farms specialize in dairy-free alternatives while maintaining farm-fresh quality.
