The following entry was originally posted in 2010 and recounts a special visit to the Dairy by a special Turkey Hill fan. It’s such a heart-warming story, we thought it deserved a second look.
Previously, we wrote about a 91-year-old woman whose doctor remarked that he’d never in all his years of practicing medicine seen someone of her age with so much energy and liveliness. We also revealed that the super woman in question ate Turkey Hill ice cream every day.
We reached out to the ice cream lover the other day with a phone call and she was more than happy to talk to us. Her name is May, she sounds not a day over 60, and she lives in a retirement community in New Jersey.

If you’re looking for something to do this New Year’s Eve, we’d like to invite you to stop by the Turkey Hill Experience this Saturday, December 31 from 4-6 p.m.
Not much gets done between the holidays and New Year’s, does it? Of course, the hard work of ice cream making continues, even if many of us are giving our at-home to-do lists a break.

If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.
