The 15 Essential Berkshires Restaurants

"Join the Jersey cows strolling the fields and taking in the views at this farm and ice cream shop in Lee. Located at High Lawn Farm, the Farmstead Creamery serves flavors like sweet cream, chocolate chip, and purple cow (black raspberry ice cream with white and black chocolate chips). You can stock up on Berkshire staples at the same time, including cheeses, meats, preserves, pickles, and maple syrup. If you’d prefer savory to sweet snacks, order a cheese and charcuterie platter featuring the dairy’s cheese and local accouterments, and find some seats among the picnic tables outside." - Emma Van Slyck, Stephanie Gravalese

My new favorite ice cream. Rhubarb ginger and lemon poppy were incredible. The farm is adorable and very kid friendly. The "Taste of the Herd" is the best option for the price. I only wish the store/deli was larger. It was super crowded and you could barely walk through. Will definitely be choosing this ice cream over SoCo as far as local ice cream goes.

Great ice cream made right on the farm with natural ingredients from the cows staring at you. They also have a good selection of homemade cheeses and meats. Lovely setting with nice views all around. Friendly staff in the company store and creamery. Worth a visit.

Wonderful views and delicious ice cream! For ice cream, I recommend getting the herd option which is much cheaper than getting individual scoops, if you are with a group of 4+. Their cheese store has a variety of fresh cheeses and they also sell goat cheese, which was a huge plus. You can pet the baby/teenager cows in the nursery. Great place to refresh and also bring kids!

High Lawn Farm and Creamery have bred a special Jersey breed of dairy cattle that produces milk with higher concentrations of protein and calcium than average milk. This results in extra smooth cream for milk, cheese, and ice cream. High Farm's ice cream contains 16% fat — that’s the highest amount of fat in which ice cream can have. Unfortunately, we arrived after 4 pm and missed visiting the calf barn. It's free to the public and is a must-see when there. Ice cream is available from the counter inside the farm store or from the window outside. High Lawn dairy and meat products can be found inside the Store, even shipped to wherever you wish. The single cup consists of two scoops (different flavors if desired). It was plenty and a good bargain. Our flavors were lemon poppy, chocolate mint, rhubarb-ginger, and black raspberry with dark chocolate chips. We had a great time.

I’m a financial planner - CFP®️practitioner - with a focus on retirement wealth strategies, primarily serving business women and LGBTQ individuals. #VirtualPlanningCraftedWithCare®️) I was only looking for a dessert and this place far exceeded my expectations. It’s a fully functional dairy farm with a store and creamery. I enjoyed the selection of jams, meats, cheeses, locally made wooden cutting boards, and other small batch foods. The ice scream was good, with nice variety but not so many that you spend an hour looking at the menu. It’s accessible if you have mobility needs. Good amount of parking. Given that it’s Lee, MA it’s very likely to be LGBTQ friendly. The prices are appropriate for a local small business with quality items. Happy to support them. Great farm and shop!

They have the best tasting flavors of ice cream made fresh with their own dairy cows. They also make artesian cheeses and has their own store where you can buy their milk. Another products they produce great atmosphere where you can get right up close to the cows and Feed them. they have a lot of outdoor picnic tables and you can tour where the animals are. I also highly recommend the wild goat cheese.

Absolute perfection! The ice cream and cheeses are delicious, the staff is friendly and helpful, and the setting itself is stunning.

Quaint local farm that makes amazing fresh ice cream sourced from the cows on site. They also have a small shop that has farm fresh products. I bought a lovely steak and some assorted condiments. The kids had a great time petting and feeding the cows.

"Now, the first of December was covered with snow So was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston Though the Berkshires seemed dreamlike on account of that frostin'" (James Taylor) High Lawn Farms and Ice Cream is nestled in the Berkshire Mountains and is universally loved on its Yelp page with a 4.8-star rating across 45 reviews. It was kind of a mixed bag for us, so let me break it down. GOOD STUFF The complex is gorgeous. Beautiful scenery, very cool buildings, plenty of cows and calves, a stocked country store that specializes in charcuterie and specialty foods. My ice cream was exceptionally good. I went with a small scoop of their Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip for $4.65. The scoop was pretty generous, the raspberry flavor was very good, the ice cream was smooth, velvety and excellent, but the thing that made my dish great was the extraordinary amount of yummy chocolate chips that made some bites of my ice cream resemble a candy bar. It was fantastic. THE ODD STUFF There is a very limited selection of ice cream flavors - only ten today. It's a very confusing layout here because you can actually order your ice cream at three different places, but the ice cream is served at one single place. You can order your ice cream inside the country store, outdoors under a covered walkway, and outdoors next to the pickup window. When it comes time to get your ice cream, that's also an oddity. Because ice cream orders are coming from three sources, there was little correlation between when you order and when you receive. For example, we ordered inside at the country store and walked over to the pickup window. New customers were also ordering at the same place, and they received their cones and cups before we received ours. I know its not the end of the world, but it felt odd to see people order and get their ice cream a few minutes after our order went in. I'll give a 5-star rating because of their legacy and how beloved they are in the area. And again, my ice cream was fantastic. Just be prepared for the limited flavors and idiosyncrasies in the ordering process,

Beautiful seasonal spot that also has the best ice cream you will ever have. Come and enjoy your ice cream as you walk around the nicest farm. Must visit if in the Berkshires

As an animal lover, I've always appreciated my trips to High Lawn Farm and this time around I was able to eat dairy and gluten so the world was my oyster and I loved it! Every time I come here with my family, we order different types of cheeses and try the ice cream by the truck. On certain days during the week, they have pizza vendors come in. I got to try the pizza, the ice cream, and the cheeses that they sell in the shop. Everything was delicious, and I loved the quality of the food. The only thing that I would have changed about my ice cream experience was that I found a couple of small pieces of plastic in one of my milkshakes, but because of the quality of the food it wasn't a big deal. I also love going to see the cows whenever I come by. They're so cute, and you get to pet and spend time with them! I've been coming here since I was little and I've always appreciated this place and looked forward to coming here. It's a great place for adults and children.

We loved this place so much we stopped by twice in one weekend! High Lawn is a lovely dairy farm in the heart of the Berkshires. Recently celebrated 100 years of serving the community with incredible dairy products all while taking great care of their animals. We tried the cheese board and enjoyed it outside on the farm grounds. Siegfrieds pride-buttery and light cheese named after one of their favorite cows. The high lawn blue- a super creamy and highly flavorful blue cheese. High lawn cream- almost a Brie like soft cheese that was to die for. After sampling plenty of cheese and meat, we wandered to the calf barn and got to visit with some of the baby cows. Such a lovely stop and worthwhile to visit while in the area to support a local farm. They also have ice cream, milk, and many other products for sale!

High Lawn is a must visit stop on your Berkshire vacation. (Locals like me already know that the best milk and ice cream are here.) The creamery and store are right on the farm. Everything tastes so fresh and creamy. That is what makes it different from other ice cream locations. In addition, you can tour the baby cows and meet the milkers. The views are incredible as well. This is a must see stop

Definitely a must do when in The Berkshires. The ice cream is delicious and worth the wait. The farm has beautiful views to take in while you eat your ice cream. Meeting the cows is definitely a must, they are very friendly. The calf nursery closes at 4 PM so make sure you go in there before they close. They also have a gift shop where you can buy their products and other local Berkshire made products.

It seems that the quality of the ice cream has gone down quite a bit in the last 2 years. I'm guessing a lot less milk fat than before. Save a buck and lose a customer.

THE BEST!!! Ice cream here is sooo good, the view is so beautiful, and the cows are so cute! We went two nights in a row. My favorite was the lemon poppy flavor- I have never had anything like it and it was amazing. There's a small shop where you can buy milk, cheese, honey, etc. There are porta potties with a handwashing station

We drove 40 minutes from where we were staying just to visit this farm. The reviews, photos and local loyalty warranted the visit. We were not disappointed! The farm location and physical appearance is incredible. It seems like it would be part of Bavarian or German farm, not a typical Berkshire dairy farm. The ice cream was amazing and the cheese!! Oh the cheese. Meats! We truly enjoyed immersing ourselves into our visit on this farm. The beautiful sweet cows too. So wonderful. Visit Edith Wharton's Mount before or after for real treat!

A must if your in the berkshires. Amazing, amazing farm. First, you get to see baby cows and they're extremely cute and social- like puppies. Second, the grounds are gorgeous and picturesque. Third, the ice cream is bonkers good. Fourth, the store is amazing and has awesome goodies including pints of ice cream, milk, butter, cheese, meats, jams, honey, bread, etc. Fifth, everyone is exceptionally nice. I will be stopping here every chance I get.

High Lawn Farm provides ice cream with a view! You're able to eat right on the edge of the farm which has cows eating tall grass, beautiful architecture, and a forest view. Though there is a very limited selection for ice cream flavors, each flavor I've had has been wonderfully creamy. Their charcuterie boards are a great snack. Every meat and cheese was delicious!

this moo moo facility is moo-tastic and top notch. the cows have proper shelter, shade, fan, and the entire campus is gorgeous. the ice cream has incredibly fresh milk flavoring. the little store adjacent to the ice cream shop contains the site's product as well as various farms. we ventured around and petted the various adult cows as well as the baby moo moo's. now i want a cow. perhaps a min cow. i think this will be a new ritual, every time i pass by on I-90, i'm gonna make a pit stop at high lawn.

nice to get up close to the really cute cows, and it's a beautiful site surrounded by lush green. the ice cream I had was surprisingly unspectacular given how fresh the ingredients i assume to be...very dry icy texture for my tastes.

If you are an ice cream lover, High Lawn Farm is a must! I went here thinking I would just be getting ice cream and had no idea you would be able to walk around the farm. From the calves, to the milking center, you really get an inside look at what life is like on a farm. The employees are are extremely friendly and you can tell they enjoy having visitors. This should be a place to stop regardless of your age. I certainly had the best time!

My wife, 2-year old daughter, and I stopped by here during our 3-day stay in the Berkshire region and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this farm. Although we did not do much beyond having ice cream, the quality of the ice cream itself was outstanding. As the farm notes "With High Lawn Farm Premium Ice Cream, you get more of that dense and creamy texture that's missing in lower quality brands. That's because it's real, fresh, Jersey milk with the least amount of air possible (that's what makes the texture so rich & creamy!)" After having the ice cream here, I would take their word for it. I know for a fact that my daughter who has to often be coerced into eating something was really protective of her ice cream and if I took so much as a lick of it, she would promptly protest! We really wanted to come back here on the very last day of our trip before heading out to Boston but unfortunately the logistics that day did not permit us making another visit to the farm. Nonetheless the fact that we wanted to return during a short 3-day trip tells you how highly we thought of this place. Put simply, this is a must-visit place for anyone in the area. I am all but tempted to go to the Berkshires again just to have their wonderful ice cream.

Exceptional dairy products - if you can't make it to the farm, consider purchasing them from your local grocery store. It's rewarding to support a high quality local business, and to know that you are eating dairy that's more nutritious than a generic brand, due to the Jersey breed and how they are cared for.

Great experience. The girls were nice and helped picked cheeses. The charcuterie board was amazing and being able to be up close and personal with the cows was an experience hard to match.

Come at sunset and grab an ice cream after dinner Gorgeously maintained property with a beautiful store that sells all their products and some local ones too The ice cream is truly the best in the Berkshires now... creamy and quality ingredients. Can't wait to return for one of the charcuterie boards though we cannot bring our own wine Be prepared to feel transported... it is another world here at this property A scoop of heaven!

I went here because someone who stayed at our same hotel said it was amazing. The view is. The cows are cool. The view is the best I've ever had eating ice cream for sure. But the ice cream? The chocolate tasted more like ice milk... I don't understand. Cocoa, ice and sugar is how it tasted. The blackberry was not too good.. Have had so much better blackberry at other ice cream farms. The ginger flavor was too sweet. Oh well. Sure nice for the scenery and view though.

High lawn farm was unexpectedly the best part of my trip to the Berkshires. It is a lovely farm with modern well maintained barns and shop. First - the Cows!! They are adorable, both the moms and the babies. The calfs are in a separate barn, you can visit and snuggle with them. They are curious babies, so watch out for hat, sunglasses, any other loose objects. There was at least 20 babies we could pet and admire. The mamas are in a bigger barn with plenty of fresh air. The barns are super clean and there is actually an industrial size Roomba device sweeping the floors around the barn. The momma cows are so big, friendly and curious. You can tell they are well cared for and that they love people. Next part - the cheese!! It was amazing. We got a charcuterie board and took our two favorites - the crema alpina and blue cheese. We ate from it for about three weeks when we got home and it stayed lovely and fresh. I will gladly visit this farm every time I go to Massachusetts. I wish there was a farm like it near my home.

Bought some frozen burgers recently and grilled them tonight. The best burgers ever. They grilled like they were fatty, meaning lots of smoke and sizzle, but didn't shrink or dry up. Simply amazing. We meant to take pictures, but couldn't put the burger down.

I am a coffee ice cream connoisseur. The coffee ice cream here was spectacular. It was incredibly flavorful, and the texture was almost chewy, which I love. Also, the farm is beautiful and worth a visit even if there were no ice cream.

Great place to hang out. Very crowded on summer weekends. Visit the cows, sit at a picnic table with an ice cream and admire the landscape with the Berkshire Mountains a background. Many different dairy products in the small store.

This place was such a fun find! My family has a summer house nearby and we were looking for a little activity to do with my toddler. This place was awesome. The adults started with a cheese plate and then everyone had some ice cream. My toddler got to run around the beautiful lawn while we just hung out with beautiful surroundings. Then we got to wander around and see the calfs and then the big cows around the corner. Loved it and can't wait to go back again!

Super tasty ice cream in such a cute setting! The farm was so beautiful and the cows were fun/cute to interact with. The ice cream was so incredibly tasty and the service was great!

This is definitely one of the places you want to visit when you come to the Berkshires. High Lawn Farm has two parts to it. The first is a very cute store that sells local milk, cheese, meats as well as other products like honey from other farms in the area. They also sell some of the best ice cream you'll ever have. My wife got the sweet cream while I got the purple cow flavor. Both were excellent, and we got to watch the cows lazily lay in the grass while we enjoyed. Also, the milk we got was without a doubt creamier than anything we could buy from the supermarket, so not only are you supporting a local farm, you're buying quality too. The second part of High Lawn Farm is getting to pet the calves! Before my wife and I bought anything, we visited the calves in their stable, watching them eat and interact with each other. Some of them were very excited to see people and greatly enjoyed getting pet. It was a lot of fun, and if you have kids, this will probably be the highlight of your trip. Definitely make sure to pay a visit and support this wonderful local farm.

A definite must see if you were from out of town. Cute cute place you could see all the farm animals and the baby calves. And then walk up to the store and do some shopping. Fresh eggs, ricotta cheese is the best, lots to choose from. And don't forget the ice cream I had one every day that I was here . tried the strawberry sweet cream and purple cow oh my goodness the best.

I was visiting my daughter from Los Angeles and she brought me to High lawn. Unquestionably the most delicious ice cream I have ever had! I ordered the coconut in a waffle cone and it was SENSATIONAL!! Three months later and I'm still talking about it with friends. Visit -- you can't go wrong. I bought some gift items in the market and everyone loved! And what a perfect setting!!

What a pleasant stop! The grounds and setting are so lovely. We visited the calf barn which was a treat, then stopped at the creamery which has a very nice, well selected collection of specialty goods like ginger honey, beeswax candles and a freezer full of local meats. We ordered a cheese plate and sat outside at one of the picnic tables. A really wonderful experience. We want to stop back to try the ice cream.

This is such a beautiful spot to stop for ice cream and the store has lots of other local foods. It's technically in Lee but right next to all the great sights in Lenox and near the Stockbridge bowl.

Amazingly fresh ice cream you can eat at a picnic table while watching the happy cows graze in a bucolic setting. What more could you want?
