Oregon Dairy Women -Red Barn

Hands down - best milkshake I've ever had. And soft serve ice cream!! Plus, they don't price gouge!

Best icecream ever

Always delicious!

I adore this little gem. I could eat here often. Ice Cream that is! Oh. My. Good golly creamy smooth like cold silk...... On a Waffle Cone! (Your Mind Blown Here) Waiting for reboot...... Ya. For real. I really like the Ice Cream here. I wish I had asked questions about the women's program but they are always busy for obvious reasons and on a 98° day, they were super busy. They use an Umpqua Dairy Refrigeration Trailer. They sell Umpqua Product's, so i assume its Umpqua Ice Cream. Either way. Delicious! I come here every time i can make it to the fair. I always get Chocolate on a Waffle Cone and its the best every year.

I am both honored and shocked to be the first person to review such an amazing business. The Oregon State Fair has played a pretty significant role in my time in Oregon and each time I think back, somehow I end up reminiscing the Oregon Dairy Women barn and their incredible, sinful, and delightful ice cream. Their soft serve ice cream is easily the best I've ever had. I am no ice cream connoisseur, but I have yet to experience anything similar so far. There is no pretense in flavors or gimmicks, just vanilla, chocolate, or swirl. Each flavor is to die for and is perfect on a hot summer day. The ladies working here stack each large cone a generous six to nine inches, which is an abundant bit of ice cream. When I was at the fair growing up, there wasn't one day where I didn't want to come here and enjoy a good vanilla cone. There was a six year absense before I came back this past summer and the ice cream was as good, if not better than I remember. Prices have remained consistent, the lines are always going to be long, and the service has always been nice. Alas, the window to try this place is limited as it's only open during the Oregon State Fair, which takes place at the end of summer. One thing is for certain, I won't ever wait six years again before I am back.

I've always wondered WHY this place is always lined down the block (during State Fair time) because their ice cream/other treats aren't that special. But their prices are reasonable, especially for the state fair. My hubby loves this darn place, so we keep returning. I find their ice cream below par...but they do have a good selection of shakes/flavors.
