"Sure, you could sample some of Cruze Farm Dairy’s frozen treats at the company’s ice cream shop in downtown Knoxville, but for a special experience, head to Asbury in East Knoxville — that’s where the Cruze and Burkhart families first launched their dairy farm dream. Today, they use milk from their own herd of cows in Riverdale to churn some of the creamiest desserts around town where they maintain two locations, including this one with a big covered patio. Flavors rotate daily, but sweet cream, butterscotch, and orange Dole Whip are local favorites." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
