This week we spent some time trying to think of things to write about here on the Ice Cream Journal over the next four months. We’ve got lots of good ideas, but we need more!
Because you love ice cream just as much as we do, we’re asking for your help. If you have any ideas for blog entries, let us know. You don’t have to think of something now. Just whenever something pops into your head. Tomorrow, next week, next month…whenever. It can be whatever you find interesting, as long as it’s related to ice cream or Turkey Hill or the dairy industry. That includes recipes, quirky news stories, odd facts, jokes, photos, events. You get the idea. Thanks in advance for your help!

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.
Always interested in the history of ice cream. Facts about ice cream, how much people eat, what flavors, what times of year, most popular store brands, shops etc.
Also very interested in how new flavors are selected, invented, tried etc.
I’m curious as to if there’s a reason that the same flavors of TH ice cream, can’t be made into the different types,, Frozen Yogurt, Light, etc. Also, I’d like to know how you come up with the different flavors and combinations. Are there reasons you can’t use some fruits or fruit flavors?
I’d most DEFINITELY be interested in knowing how to get my favorite flavors locally! Specifically, Tin Roof Sundae Frozen Yogurt! I see the ice cream, but not the frozen yogurt. It’s the BEST!! Also, love to hear facts about ice cream. What’s in it, what’s good for us, etc. How about sharing stories of ice cream indulgences? I have some to share!
like to know why they only come out with the ice cream with birthday cake with the frosting has to have the frosting.in it once in awhile like to see it more often
I’d love to hear more about Turkey Hill in general – how you chose the flavors, how you name the flavors, what is going on in the employee’s lives, etc. etc.
I would be interested in how much milk you use to make TH, How far do you have to go to get your milk. Is it all from Lancaster County?
I am interesed in finding out if many persons know how old they were when they first started eating ice cream. Example: the story told on me is–I would be in the crib kicking moving my hand until Grandmama Hundley started moving the spoon with melted ice cream towards me. Then I would stop moving until after she gave me the ice cream. She first gave me ice cream at 6 month of age! Now at 63 I still LOVE ice cream!
Dear Turkey Hill Team,
I agree with Jennifer. I would like to know more about Turkey Hill in general. Where did the name come from? How many employees are there? When was the business started? By who? How are the flavors chosen? Including the ice cream and other Turkey Hill products like the ice tea flavors. Keep up the good work! Thanks!
I would love to know what is the most unique flavor everyone can come up with. I am sure Turkey Hill tasters have tasted some strange concoctions and I am sure that Turkey Hill lovers like me all have their favorite dream flavor. So what’s yours? Thanks for the opportunity to give feedback, I would also love more recipes with Turkey Hill ice cream.
I think you should do a study on brands. You could have people come in and be served ice cream (not labeled)like B****s or Greens. Then, you could have them rate it on texture, taste, the proportion of the flavors, and overall flavor. Next, publish the results on the blog and see if people agree.
P.S. I liked the unite thing. Did you copy me? And Ernie, you said you were going to use my question in the next month. When?
Thanks for all of your feedback! Remember to keep it coming.
JENNIFER – Your suggestion about learning more about the employees is a good one. Maybe we’ll start a regularly recurring “Featured Employee” posting that offers a up-close-and-personal look at a Turkey Hill employee (what they do, their favorite flavor, any stories they can share about life at the Dairy).
SARAH – Yes, I think you were the inspiration behind the title of that post! As for your Ask Ernie inquiry, that’s for the reminder. I’ll check to see where that’s at!
I totally agree with what Sarah suggested about having brand comparisons for taste and other qualities.However, since Lancaster County is quite far away you should take the show on the road and whenever you are near my area in mid-upstate NY you have to promise to call me FIRST to be one of the tasters!! I would even consider dressing up in a turkey suit if you had my size…………..
I think there should be a tour in the near future of the Turkey Hill Dairy or have a tour on line of the dairy and how the ice cream is made. Both children and adults would be interested. Then people can ask questions about it.
I would love to hear more about ice cream and its international presence.
I just returned from Ireland, and what I was offered as a milk shake did not have any ice cream, very different.
what do other cultures do?
Okay here is something I have to say on ice cream I love eating it in the middle of winter! It lasts longer due to the cold weather no messy ice cream soup! So here is a question what month was it created? (summer?) Yes I known it cools you off in the summer… Also who likes cones? who likes cups/bowl?
How bout us bloggers sending in recipies for using ice cream!! I’ve made my own ice cream cakes, could give everyone recipe, or send pics of what you eat your ice cream out of!
create holiday cook book with ice cram recipes. There is at least one holiday every month, or birthday celabration. Which would fun to make a special ice cream cake or pie or what ever looks good.
Hi, – A long time ago I remember an ice cream flavor Maple Walnut. Don’t think it is made anymore, but sure would love to see it on the shelves again. Has Turkey Hill ever considered this flavor along with all their other delicious flavors?
I’m a big fan of Turkey Hill products, – keep them coming!!!!
I really like orange drink.i see you make other juice drinks but I have yet to find orange.Do you make it or will you be making it soon?
