The Creamery at Applecrest

Our newest venture came about really because Farmer Pete is darn particular about his ice cream. Fed up with his quest for the perfect cone, he decided he'd like to set up his own old-style, New England Creamery right here on the farm.

Applecrest has a history of making things from scratch, so it's only natural that we would want our ice cream to follow suit. We are in the process of researching recipes, talking to local dairy farmers, and renovating the barn. Turns out, ice cream is tougher to grow than apples. For our first year, we plan to hook up with a well-known sweet-tooth purveyor, who has agreed to mix our grown-on-the-farm fruits and baked goods with their delicious dairy to make an unsurpassed ice cream just for us. Next season, we'll be blending it ourselves.

The Applecrest Creamery will be housed in the farm's 1804 post-and-beam barn with windows overlooking our beautiful flower garden and acre after acre of apple trees. We look forward to having you join us for a scoop, pie a la mode, or a smoothie. Check back soon to find out when the Creamery will open its doors!

Note: All of our ice cream is made from cows that have not been given additional growth hormones. We use 14% butterfat and only the finest ingredients, including our freshly-picked fruits and homemade baked goods.
