Brown Cow Creamery

I stopped here on a fluke as I was driving down the road mid july. The ice cream flavors are limited, the staff friendly enough, the price was ok. They had some other farm type of items like jams hot sauce and vegetables. Nothing really stood out to me for me to stop by here again. It was a busier day when I came, parking can be limited if there's a decent amount of people. Pet and kid friendly location.

Very easy to find. Plenty of parking. Restroom is a porta potty. Variety if flavors but best of all is they give you big scoops of ice cream. Great service. Plenty of seating and they also have a playground for kids. Had to give 4 stars because they don’t offer samples.

Maybe because it's off-season, or maybe just because... Unfortunately, we weren't impressed by this place. The ice cream was decent, the staff polite, and plenty of parking (we were the only ones there) but that's about the best I can say for this ice cream purveyor. And we go to a lot of ice cream places! It wouldn't take too much to make this a real destination year round; people love ice cream! But customers have lots of choices and need a good reason to come to this place specifically.

We've gone multiple times over the last few years, and the ice cream is always good, especially Andes mint chocolate chip. Everyone there is very friendly, and it would be an honor to return!

Excellent ice cream; very rich and creamy! The ice cream is made from local grass fed cows; cow to cone. They, also, offer PYO flowers. I was overly joyed to pick my own flowers. They provide you with a mason jar and you just fill it up until it's full.

Great place for families or friends. Lots of varieties of apples to pick and the sweetness of the ice cream is legit. I think the flavors could be stronger but it was very nice, even on a chilly day. We also made our way through the corn maze and pumpkin patch. The maze was fun and definitely not straightforward 😅. There was a small carnival there the day we were there with a few rides and games plus carnival food. We bought some apple butter BBQ sauce that I'm looking forward to trying as well. I think we'll be back at some point.

OMG!!! The icecream here is da BOMB!!! Had their malted milk ball and black raspberry on a cone. Straight up worth killing for. Hahaha. Love their black raspberry. Also had a scoop of their ginger before. That was a surprise. Almost like the cool feeling of a york peppermint patty. Love their icecream.

Yummy ice creams made with fresh milk & cream and most made with no eggs. My child has food allergies and it was wonderful! She also loved the playground. Their fresh flowers are beautiful, too.

Best ice cream in the state! Every flavor I've had has been delicious, including the dark chocolate. (I find chocolate ice cream is often chalky but not at Woodbourne.) The you-pick orchard is great, too. It makes for a fun late summer or early fall date.

We love Rock Hill Orchard! I can only comment on their ice-cream, which is fantastic. Highly recommend the Coconut Chocolate Chip!

This review is for Woodbourne Creamery which is at Rock Hill Orchard. I have driven by this place many times, but have never stopped until now - Montgomery County was having an Annual Farm Tour and "Rock Hill Orchard and Woodbourne Creamery" was on their list. I wanted to try their ice cream. Normally, I usually visit Jimmie Cone when in the area. From Ridge Road (Rt. 27), Woodbourne Creamery has two entrances - you can enter from either one. Even though it may seem like you can't find a parking spot, just keep chugging along and you will come across an empty spot somewhere. You are parking on either grassy hills or gravel. As you face the building, you will see signage for Rock Hill Orchard on your right and Woodbourne Creamery on your left. However, to purchase from the Creamery, you first have to go to the right. On the right-side of the building, you can view what is being scooped today on a whiteboard. On the day I visited they were serving Vanilla, Strawberry, Dark Chocolate, Andes Mint, Chocolate Chip, Cookies and Cream, Black Raspberry, Orange Dreamsicle, Mocha Brownie, Verry Berry and Peach. They also had the following dairy free flavors: Raspberry Sorbet, Peach Sorbet, Pineapple Coconut Ice Cream and Mango Sorbet. Once in line, which went rather quickly, we ordered the Orange Dreamsicle on a cake cone and Dark Chocolate in a cup. It is here you pay as well. Some things worth mentioning per the whiteboard: * Cones come on top. * No pints of ice cream. * No lids for ice cream. They make it so you will eat it there - smart. Once I ordered and paid, I was informed that I could pick it up on the other side of the building. To the front left of the building, I went. As I watched and waited a short time, I saw where an employee would call out what you ordered, and you would then grab it from them. If you ordered a lot, it was placed on a plastic tray. Make sure you are there to pick up your order immediately as I saw one or two flies appear - maybe they wanted some of that ice cream too. During the time we were there, that place stayed busy, but it seemed folks were not waiting long. Picnic tables are provided. There is one close to the pick-up area, but that is labeled for only Seniors and Handicapped. Cow to Cone is what is listed at the entrance. The flavor I had was delicious - Orange Dreamsicle ice cream on a cone. The cone is then put in the cup and served that way. I tried to remove the cone and succeeded, but it was a bit difficult. Loved the fresh taste of the ice cream. Good to know this spot is here as I now have options when passing through. Visited July 2023.

Different fruits to pick depending on the season. I went in July and picked some peaches, nectarines, and blackberries all of which tasted sweet and fresh. I paid $12 and got a bag to fill with peaches and nectarines and a container for blackberries. It's not crowded and the grounds are beautiful.

We enjoyed everything we got here. The ice cream was made from farm cow's milk. Peaches were amazingly juicy and sweet. We made jams using the freshly picked blueberries and blackberries. We do plan to revisit every year.

Great experience for a warm-ish November morning. There are still apples for picking and, of course, ice cream! We love picking up ice cream! We ate the ice cream and drank hot apple cider after picking. We picked two pecks of apples, and these will be enjoyed whole and for making desserts for Thanksgiving. All apples picked seem to be firm and juicy (we already ate a few). Had fun visiting the calf barn, too!

Great spot to grab fresh ice cream and have the kids play on the park. I highly recommend the Mexican mocha brownie ice cream.

The ice cream here is fabulous! Very homemade taste and they have such a wide variety of flavors which is nice. The service is very friendly as well. It is a very cute farm and they have fun decor for the fall. My one complaint is that they have one line for buying ice cream, apples, cider, or any veggies. The line can get quite long at times and it would be helpful to have another line for busy times.

Blackberry on top of cream and strawberry on the bottom. The one in the back is a double scoop of cream. Highly recommend the cream option.

Picking apples and enjoying fresh ice cream in the dog days of summer, what a fun time!

I have driven by so many times, but always when I have to be somewhere or after closing. So, one of my new years resolutions was to finally get to try the cow to cone ice cream I've so often wondered about. Rock Hill Orchard did not disappoint! I tend to be a soft serve girl most of the time, but for hard ice cream that's not gelato, this is soooo creamy and delightful! You can read all about their Orchard, Creamery, and Guernsey cows on their website, which is very informative :) They are Montgomery County's only cow to cone creamery for starters. I am so excited that they are open all year. They offer changing seasonal flavors in addition to their year-round staples. For the Winter, they appear to be open Wednesday through Sunday noon to 5 [if this changes, I am sure they will update their website]. The ice cream is sold out of their farm market. The farm market is located right off of Ridge Road (MD 27), like five minutes from Damascus, and has a gravel lot for parking. There is an order and pick up window on the right side of the building. They offer cups and cones by the scoop (single $4.25, double $5.75, triple $7.00) and also Vanilla, Strawberry, Marshmallow Chip, Dark Chocolate, and Chocolate Chip by the Pint ($8) [these flavors may also rotate?]. We tried Cuppa Joe, Dark Chocolate, and Black Raspberry. We couldn't decide which was our favorite, they were all incredibly creamy and rich in flavor. The fresh everything really pays off haha I got a double because I wanted to try Dark Chocolate and Cuppa Joe together. It was almost too much for me because they are generous scoops (I'm not complaining, it was worth the personal struggle haha). In the future, I'll just have to plan my ice cream days and get singles to work my way around the different flavors :) We have definitely found a new favorite ice cream destination and are so happy to be able to support a local orchard/dairy in doing so. Win-win!

Great service and products. Love that there is a park for littles. I haven't gotten a chance to explore but been here a few times and plan on returning. I've purchased seasonal fruits and milk. The milk is delicious.

Just came for the ice cream and it did not disappoint. Super creamy and flavorful, obviously made right here farm to cone. Ice cream is served in a cup with cone on top ($1 extra) if you like. They also have options for syrups like caramel or chocolate. Our two single ice creams with cones were a little over $8. Beyond ice cream they sell pies, milk, apples, and (at least now, during October) whole pumpkins. Happy to come back sometime!

Delicious ice cream!! Tried the black raspberry, toasted coconut, and mango sorbet. Toasted coconut was our fave!

This place is amazing . Took my kids with friends. We got giant pumpkins, picked flowers and hay ride all for a great price.

Great ice cream! Fresh, creamy, and full of natural flavor. The ice cream is made with milk guernsey cows which I believe gives it a higher fat content and a richer taste. The cows are across the road from the creamery stand and the pick your own farm. With covid, they do not allow you to go inside so they have a takeout window for the ice cream and the milk and a few other vegetables/fruits/pumpkins are also in the front for purchase. Once you order and pay for the ice cream, you walk around to the front where there is a counter with napkins and extra small spoons (good for the kids). You can see them scooping out the ice cream from the counter. The service is quick - they have a couple of people scooping. They have the standard flavors but they are all better than the standard, at least the ones we have tried. The dark chocolate is dark and decadent, the coffee is rich in coffee flavor and you can see specks of coffee beans, and the butterscotch tasted very fresh. Nothing artificial here. You can order one flavor per scoop and up to three scoops. Two scoops is plenty. Three is definitely a lot but still doable since it is that good. They have a nice amount of picnic tables and some with umbrellas. They also have a playground for the kids. The lot is gravel and grass for parking. The creamery is open year round and it is that good that you could enjoy this ice cream on a cold winter day. Worth the drive from the beltway. Closes in the afternoon though so check the hours before you go.

This place is busy and is very over priced for what they offer. There are plenty of other choices in and around Frederick to get fresh apples, veggies, flowers, creamery etc.. I was charged $99.00 for 14 apples, a pie, 1 gallon of cider and 1 jar of Apple BBQ sauce. Totally ridiculous. Also, if you want to pick apples you need to make a reservation online. You can't do it if you don't sign up online first.

Ice cream is handmade on site, from their dairy cows. Very tasty. Lately they seem to be having supply issues so minus 1 star - super frustrating when you get there and all they have is choc or vanilla or dairy free options.

Corn Maze: There are two corn mazes, one that takes ~15 mins, the other that takes ~45 mins - 1 hour. It is unlike any corn maze I have been in before, first, there are numbered check points that each have trivia questions and two, the corn wasn't super tall so if you are a tall person, you might be able to see some of the check points. We did the longer maze, and it took us about an hour and was fun. They also have a number that you can call in case you get stuck, which I really appreciated and thought was a nice touch. Apples: Wow - there are many different kinds of apples that you can choose from! I was amazed with the choices. Other: -Ice Cream: def try it, it was great! -Apple Cider Donuts: you had to order them online ahead and couldn't buy there, but they were delicious. - Water: ok....this was the weird thing here. You could not buy water...I was SO thirsty!

Even with all the frost that occurred in 2020 that destroyed a lot of apple orchards in the area, Rock Hill was able to offer a really enjoyable experience. They had many types available in late September (red & golden delicious, Jonathan, Royal empire, honeycrisp, Fuji, and more - check their website!). For Covid, they required reservations online for Apple picking. I'm actually hoping this becomes the norm because it was super easy to plan a day around it! Plenty of parking and one way entrances to both parking and apple orchards. Woodburne creamery was awesome, and they also had cider donuts, which is a requirement for me to go apple picking. The only issue was that the Apple picking drive-in entry off the road wasn't well marked so we stood in line at the Woodburne Creamery, nearly missing our reservation.

Love the ice cream! It's the best place to go when you need a sweet treat. Only reason for 4 stars is they do not offer pints and close to early.

Cutest little farm, ice cream shops and play area! I wish we had spent the day here instead of the largest farm a few minutes away. We stopped by because we needed to buy local apples for the week. They're were selling them at 2.39$ a pound I believe. More pricey than the farm near our house but that's alright. We also got two scoops of ice cream which came out HUGE. It was a surprise to see how big the scoops were. The flavors were delicious. We had two fall flavors but I can't remember which ones. We sat at the tables by the playground and enjoyed peace, quiet and ice cream. We were at the large farm right before rock hill and we're super overwhelmed. We will definitely try to stop by next year- they had pumpkins, apples, corn maze, ice cream, playground and prob more that we missed out on.

I've only been to Larriland, so I can't really compare to other farms in the area but it's definitely a lot bigger than Larriland. I went there with a church group for activities for some kids, and they definitely enjoyed the apple picking. For apples, we got a lot of them in the second orchard we went to, not so much the first, which tended to be smaller and have more insects on them. The kids did enjoy the ride to the corn maze and the pumpkin patch, but what they enjoyed the most was the ice cream. I tend to not eat a lot of ice cream at home since my brothers eat a lot of it, so I got the three-scoop cone

My friends and I drove here on a Sunday afternoon from DC in late September for apple picking. It's an easy hour-long drive from the city, and there's no entrance fee. I loved that it wasn't as crowded as some of the other farms I've visited around the region. Apple picking was lots of fun, and we got some great photos. It was $10.50 for a medium bag of apples (ended up with around 10 apples). Downsides of the day: it was over 80 degrees and most of the apple rows had already been picked over but neither of those things could be helped. The ice cream and apple cider donuts were good! I also picked up some fresh ground beef and I can't wait to make a dinner with it. Next time, we want to cut fresh flowers and herbs. Maybe we'll come back in June for other fruit picking!

A friend of ours recommended we try Rock Hill Orchard, as an alternative to the usual nearby stop for ice cream. We were craving something other than soft-serve. Its a little bit further out of town, but definitely worth the drive. Apparently, they offer a number of things other than ice cream -- petting cows, picking berries or pumpkins, hay rides, things like that. But, who cares, they have ice cream! Since I didn't try any of that stuff, I can't comment on it, but ... let's talk about the ice cream. They have a good selection of flavours available, and also a few different sorbets, for those not feeling dairy. But, its a creamery -- and you should try their ice cream. Its made from local cows -- well, its not made from cows, but you know what I mean! -- which are free ranged, grass fed. I don't know if that's what makes it so good, but that's what I was *told* made it so good! They have about a dozen different flavours, which change a bit over time. I tried a double cone with their dark chocolate and blackberry, which went perfectly together. The waffle cones were great, and the ice cream... oh wow, it was just some of the best ice cream I've had in a while. Go. Get. Ice. Cream.

We drive by this place all. the. time. which makes life challenging because the ice cream is delicious and my five year old knows it. Ha! Apple picking is super fun here because you get the coveted wagon ride to the orchard and various types of apples (holy cow, there are a lot!). The true star, however, is the ice cream. it's insane. However, it has an egg base, so if you have an allergy, it's best to steer clear from temptation. This summer they started carrying an egg-free flavor, but they were out of it each time we visited. The new playground is excellent--- but I, and every other parent I bet, wish it were somehow covered. The equipment is too hot to enjoy on a summer day after basking in the ice cream's glory.

I was excited for our first real outing since the start of COVID. I've been eyeing the orchard/creamery for a long time now, and we finally made reservations that worked with the little ones nap schedule. But our big outing ended up being pretty disappointing for a number of reasons. Here is my list of grievances: 1) the check in process was SO slow. They give you fancy passes that you can save to your apple wallet, and then don't scan anything. Looking everyone up takes a bit longer. We had chosen one of their last reservations, so I was already a little nervous about getting to do the maze, see the cows, pick apples, and eat ice cream before they closed. 2) this place was PACKED (which probably contributed to #1). It is big enough that it was still very easy to keep COVID-appropriate distances from other people (except in the corn maze), but there were still a LOT of people. The grounds are big enough that you have to drive from one activity to another, which just adds to the amount of time and difficulty, toting children around. The crowds also probably contributed to my last (and most important complaint) 3) after we picked our apples, we went to stand in line for ice cream. But, there was no line. Because at 4:30ish they had already shut down the creamery next to the orchard. The buzz seemed to be that they had run out and you could get some at the market on your way out. The ice cream was most of the reason I had chosen to come here over a different, more convenient apple orchard. And, of course, the line at the market was HUGE. So, we left with no ice cream, having rushed our way through all their offerings to feel like we got our $12 worth (we didn't). I honestly just wanted my daughter to see their cows and eat some ice cream...instead I spent almost $30 to come home annoyed, with just about a dozen apples to console me.

My family and I came here to try the ice-cream. We are a large family 8, with multiple food allergies. We avoid dairy in our diet, except for goat cheese because most of us can tolerate it. We usually eat dairy-free. We tried this ice cream based on it being local, grass-fed cows, and A2. We are fully aware that it is not necessarily that we are allergic to dairy, but it is the way cows are fed and how it is processed. I am glad to report, no one had any reactions. The ice cream was by far the best ice cream my family has ever tasted. It was so creamy and flavorful. The portions were large. Our family tried strawberry, cookies n cream, and caramel. The caramel was the family favorite. We will definitely will be back again.

They are the Best ice cream around. Maybe a little on the expensive side, but everything is nowadays.

As their open season comes to a close, their creamery stays open substituting as their main storefront too. Their fresh in-house made ice cream is to salivate over! Scoot over to taste before you buy because you must taste their Cuppa Joe and Milk Malt Bar flavors. I'm a sucker for ice cream closely resembling classic candy bars or a dependable cup of caffeine. Both flavors did not disappoint, what was a disappointment was how big my stomach isn't to fit more ice cream scoops. I didn't venture very much further onto the farm, I'm sure they have things for families with children, but I would surely come back for their fresh milk and baked pie!

So we have always gotten great milk from Rock Hill Orchard from the Montgomery County Fair and last week we decided to visit the farm. We drove from Ashburn, VA which is about an hour and were really excited to be making the trip. However what we got was more than disappointing. First off we spent $55 for a large bag and a medium size bag which was pretty pricey. It wasn't too big a deal though because I kind of figured they would have a great picking selection. They told us there weren't many peaches left but there were still some and they had 3 kinds of apples to pick. Still I was good with that. To my wife and I's surprise there were quiet a few peaches left which we filled out medium size bag with. Once we eagerly moved to the apples we were very disappointed. You would expect with having 3 varieties there would be tons of apples but this wasn't the case. The apples to pick were pretty slim and the ones you could pick were super tiny. Still it was fresh picked fruit and despite being let down we both were still happy to bringing some home. Here is the worst part. Half of the peaches we picked were spoiled within 2 days. The other half within 3 days. The corn be bought from the market there was starting to spoil again only after 2 days. So essentially we spent $55 not including what we spent at the market and maybe $20 of that was garbage. We never plan on going back again.

Rock Hill Orchard is our preferred "pick your own" farm. The peaches are excellent. There is a nice variety of apples. The veggies have always been good, and the flowers are beautiful and (I think) a bargain. We usually begin our trip at the store for their homemade ice cream. On busy weekends they run out of certain flavors. In October we do the hayride and corn maze. Last year it took nearly an hour to get out of the maze. This year it was about 20 minutes. This year (Fall 2017), there were two mazes - large and small. They're well-done. It's lots of fun with clues to solve along the way. The pumpkin patch is excellent and there are other seasonal gourds. I think the prices are fair. Whatever I pay for peaches and apples is fine. This year I got about 10 pumpkins (small to medium size) for $9. The corn maze is a bit overpriced. It would be nice to have a discount for kids. My daughter loves to feed the calves. At 4 PM on weekends they bring milk bottles to feed the calves. It's a wonderful thing for kids. And we always make a final stop at the store for milk which is processed right there with milk from their own cows. They have baked goods, picked fruit and veggies and other miscellaneous items like honey. The staff are so nice and helpful. I've been to at least three other popular farms in the area, and Rock Hill is by far my favorite.

Thank you for creating and keeping up such an awesome dairy in Montgomery County. I so appreciate being able to get fresh, local, and Guernsey milk! Thank you!!! Also, your ice cream is the best! Many years ago I had a job in a homemade-ice-cream store and have made hundreds of large tubs of all flavors of ice cream. Rarely do I find that kind of ice cream anywhere--but you got it right! :) I had my daughter's girl scout troop come here 2 years ago, and they all loved it. Such an educational visit with the info posted about the Guernsey cows, too! My daughter loved feeding the calves pre-pandemic. It was really nice to get to pick up milk at the top of the hill late spring/early summer this year. If it's something that can be done again ever, even for super limited hours for dairy-pick-up, if you think there's the demand, it might reduce crowding at the bottom of the hill near the store.

We have been going to Rock Hill Orchard for years to pick your own fruits, their peaches are the the absolute BEST!!! So when they started selling milk and ice cream made from their own cows they didn't disappoint. They have a wide selection of flavors, my favorites are black raspberry and the dark chocolate. We also buy all our milk from them as well. Definitely worth a visit and you'll be back for more!

Every year our family goes to Rock Hill Orchard. We get on the hay ride, pet the cows, pick out pumpkins from the pumpkin patch, and complete the corn maze. They have amazing ice cream available in their store and they have bomb apple and pumpkin butter! If you have time to stop by even just for the ice cream, I would!

I really want to come here more often, love their ice cream. But the attitudes of the staff is such a turn off. I always feel like I'm bothering them and there's just no manners sometimes. Confused by all the five star reviews..

Been here before... decent ice cream, but expensive. Stopped off with my wife, daughter, and two dogs. I was parked on the side of the parking lot away from everyone else. I was rudely told to leave because my dogs that were on a leash, standing next to my car and away from everyone and everything else and eating an ice cream that we bought for them were 'on the property'. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE! They just lost a customer. I would advise staying away also.

I absolutely love this place! As a summer treat, my mom and I went here to indulge in their amazing ice cream. We each got 2 scoops (they give big scoops, which is another plus): I got dark chocolate and vanilla, and my mom got coffee and dark chocolate. As we have been to this orchard a few times before, we have tried many of the flavors, and we agree the best flavor we've had is the dark chocolate (we liked it even over the milk chocolate). We also like that there is no entry fee for picking the fruits and vegetables on the orchard, and you can try their produce before you pick/buy it ( unlike other orchards *cough*Butlers*cough*). If you have a free day with nothing planned, I highly recommend you go here for some sweet treats!

We love this place for seasonal events, fresh produce and their amazing ice cream. We are ice cream addicts and this is our favorite of anything we have tried through retail or other creameries.

We came in with a pumpkin emergency and they were so nice and accommodating! Huge rave for saving Halloween for us!

We took a trip out to the orchard to try the ice cream and it was good. Some flavors were a little icy while others were smooth and creamy. The farm was so cute and the pyo flowers looked beautiful. Can't wait to try the peaches!

Not entirely shockingly, I was lied to so much by the Presidents of the United States of America. No, not the occupant of the Oval Office, the band from Seattle. You see, they promised "millions of peaches, peaches for me," and that they'd all be free. In truth, the very tasty fruits are kind of hard to pick and, believe it or not, I had to share them. Alternative facts, indeed! That's not why I found the experience kind of average for an orchard though. While I appreciate the fact that the orchards are easily accessible (the berry orchards are right around the farm store and the larger trees are up a driving path so there's no sweating away in a hot hayride on a summer day), the problem was with the general organization at the bottom of the hill. It's not really all that self explanatory how the whole thing works and there was a large line of people waiting in the same place as the cashier for people buying pre-made pies. Most orchards allow people to just take a basket and go. But maybe this one had some problem in the past with people not going back inside to check out. I could put up with this part but more disappointing was the fact that my lady found what she described as chunks of butter in her ice cream. Mine was okay but I was expecting a bit higher quality of handmade ice cream since that is what this farm stakes its reputation on. While the quality of picking was okay, I did find most of the peaches I tried to pick full of insect holes. I appreciate no pesticides but at other organic picking farms, I have still found a better selection than I did here. Personally, I only got one peach that was even worth taking home for my efforts though my lady, a better picker, did better. Still, I was frustrated by the whole experience a bit. The calves they have as part of the dairy farm are every bit as adorable as advertised though and the fact that they let visitors feed them is fun. But if I make the trek back out to the outer reaches of Montgomery County, I'll definitely just buy stuff from the farm store. Pretending to be a farmer can be hard work and this place made it seemingly a bit harder.

My friends and I visited Rock Hill Orchard for the first time after finding it on Google maps. We are already picked berries at Larriland Farm that morning, but we came to Rock Hill for their amazing creamery! I absolutely adored their ice cream and the servers were so friendly. They encouraged us to try as many flavors as we wanted (until the line got too busy). One scoop is $3.25, two scoops is $4.25, and three scoops is $5.25. You can also do a waffle cone instead of a cup. The cuppa Joe flavor was my favorite-it had such a strong espresso flavor and you could actually see and occasionally feel the ground up coffee beans that were inside the ice cream. The sorbet was just the right amount of sweetness and had such a fresh strawberry flavor as well. I also liked the toasted coconut with chocolate chip flavor, dark chocolate, and ginger ice cream. Would definitely come back to this place if I'm ever in the area again! After 6 PM, the ice cream is buy one get one free, but I think this is only during the month of June.

I cannot speak to the picking experience here, but in terms of a stop for ice cream, you cannot go wrong. A "kiddie" scoop is plenty big, and only costs $3.25, plus they offer FREE chocolate or caramel sauce or sprinkles! I greatly enjoyed my Cuppa Joe ice cream with chocolate sauce on it. I also purchased 2 ears of corn, which I ate that night - they were fresh and sweet, a small container of blueberries, which I happily gobbled up the next morning, and a few peaches, which are ripening on my counter as I write. I'll definitely find my way back here!

Have you ever heard of a business that forces a customer to join their "loyalty" program in order to receive a refund after the business screws up? Me neither, but that's how this business operates. When I got home and realized an item was missing from my order, I called immediately to report it. I was told they would not partially credit money back to the credit card that was used. Nor would the business deliver the missing item to the farmers market in my neighborhood where they sell every Sunday. Rather, the only way they would "help" me is if I signed up for their customer loyalty program so a store credit could be issued. And, this credit can only be used at the store, which is 25 miles from my house, and not at the far more convenient farmers market. I reluctantly agreed to sign up, and Michelle told me she would send me the information. She never did. The ice cream is okay, but not at all worth having to deal with the poor customer service and lousy attitude. I bet the Maryland Attorney General's office would be interested in the practice of forcing customers to divulge their personal information in order to get a refund after the company botches the order.

Great selection of ice cream flavors, love the toasted coconut , gluten free too! Husband lived dark chocolate. They sell milk, berries, honey and pies too. Love this place!

The ice cream is very creamy and rich. I got ginger and black raspberry which taste great together. Line moved very efficiently. Lots of picnic tables.

I'm sure their farm stuff is good. You know, like....vegetables and whatnot. But I'm in it for the ice cream. I go out of my way for this place! The flavors are excellent and authentic, they stuff the bejeezus out of the cups and cones and happily pour caramel or chocolate goo over or at no extra charge. Buy an apple to justify your visit to judgmental friends. Bring home a head of cauliflower to disguise the scent of vanilla and sugar.

We went to pick sour cherries. This was our first time visiting this farm. They do not sell pick your own by the pound you have to buy a container to fill. we bought the largest container then used our own buckets to pick & fill the container. This woman who I believe was one of the owners comes speeding through & starts yelling at us for using our own containers. The man that sold us the large container didn't say anything when we said we would still use our buckets so we could spread out a bit. I'm not buying 4 buckets and 4 people picking into one bucket is ridiculous. We later found out she yelled at multiple people for doing the same thing. She continued to drive way too fast back & forth through the area with many families around. I honestly can't remember ever being treated, as a consumer, by anyone the way this woman treated us. I was apologizing saying we had no intention of not paying for all we picked and she continued to be very angry and yelling at me. I would not give this place one more cent of my money and would not recommend anyone go here unless you are prepared to be screamed at by the person profiting from your money. She was driving a red Subaru. Everyone was shocked and upset even just watching how she treated us and the other people that she attacked with her nastiness bc they used their own buckets. One lady said she had been going there for years and just didn't realize things had changed so she got out of her car & started picking. Butler's Orchard and Homestead Farm will be getting all our business. No need to try this farm a second time.

Went here for the first time today with my parents and sisters specifically for peach picking as homestead didn't offer it this year. They were plentiful and so delicious! $2.79/lb. They also had blackberries and sunflowers that you could pick as well. I tried their ice cream and while it didn't blow me away, I liked how there were pumpkin and peppercorn flavors. Next time I would probably get chocolate and vanilla. This may be my new farm!!
