A while back we wrote about our partnership with a local organization called Lancaster Farmland Trust. To recap, Lancaster Farmland Trust is dedicated to protecting Lancaster County farmland before it disappears due to development. We’ve been working with them for awhile by donating a portion of each sale of our All Natural ice cream to aid their cause.
Today the Lancaster New Era wrote about a nearby Amish farm that needed $60,000 in order to be preserved (article here). Thanks to $51,000 raised by sales of our All Natural ice cream, the Lancaster Farmland Trust was able to step in and save the farm. It feels great to see local farmland being protected and we wanted to pass along the credit to all of you.
Every single one of your All Natural ice cream purchases helped achieved this goal. A big thanks goes out from all of us at Turkey Hill and the Lancaster Farmland Trust. We’re sure the family whose farm has been saved thanks you too!

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.
You guys are an awesome company. Thank you for all you do. We need more companies like Turkey Hill!
Wow, what a nice way to help others, while at the same time helping everyone.
Great work Turkey Hill!!!!
You not only make the best tasting ice cream, but you care too! Thanks for all you do, I love Turkey Hill!
The other comments said it all! You guys are GREAT!! Other companies (not just ice cream eitiher), should follow in your footsteps. Too many farms are being lost to these building sites and soon there won’t be any farmlands at all, around here. How sad that would be. Keep up the great work Turkey Hill!
Praise to each and every one of you that make up the Turkey Hill Team.
What an incredible gift! Thank-you so much for being such a special and personalized company. It’s great to make people smile!
What a beautiful thing to do. Turkey Hill is the brand for me!
Thank you all. We’re just glad to have lots of customers like you who love our ice cream enough to make a donation like that possible!
Congratulations to all of you at Turkey Hill and thank you. It just goes to show that there are still companies out there who want to help, and CARE about others! Well done. God bless all at Turkey Hill!!
I love Turkey Hill ice cream, any flavor, but would love to see one that had cranberry something in it!! Is this a possibility for the future?
Joyce, I LOVE your cranberry suggestion, especially with the Christmas season approaching. Yum! Cranberries can be notoriously difficult to sweeten, they’re usually tangy. But paired with the just-right flavor of Turkey Hill Ice Cream, I’m sure Ernie could come up with something sensational!!
Echoing the above sentiments, the entire team at Turkey Hill is to be commended for their efforts to reach out and preserve the farmlands in the local area. It’s a symbiotic relationship we’re supporting here, and I, for one, am all too happy to do my part by going out to get some All Natural Vanilla right now!
I’d still like to try Shoo Fly Pie flavored ice cream- I think you guys did it a few years ago, bring it back next year for me
It must be a “dream come true “…. to be an employee of a company that makes a product of high quality and cares for God’s Good Earth ! ! THANK YOU
Oh how cool – and just one more excuse to stock up and enjoy Turkey Hill ice cream! There is no sight more beautiful than rolling hills and farmlands and unfortunately we see less and less of it these days. It’s great that all of you at TH care and are doing things to help make a difference – we need a heck of a lot more people (and companies) like that in the world!
That’s amazing and Awesome! You guys rock for achieving such an amazing success!!
wishing you all a Happy Halloween! Great story!!
THANK YOU for your continuing efforts to save farms in one of the most beautiful places in the US-Lancaster County, PA!!!
What a beautiful legacy your company is leaving. Wishing you much more success in helping preserve our planet Earth! We ALL need to follow your example.
My favorite is Licorice. Baskin & Robbins had it some years ago. Their store owner said that it was very popular. Only problem your tongue would get black. They switched to a white licorice and it was still good and popular.
In summer how about cataloupe?
Congratulations! What an awesome job! Thanks for caring about our farmland. I was checking your sight for the article mentioning the sphagetti ice cream maker and found this. I felt it was more important to say THANK YOU.
I love visting Lancaster County and seeing the big Turkey Hill cow.Turkey Hill is a great company so much hands on for customers and helping others.There’s just something about seeing Turkey Hill ice cream in the store and feeling good.
Thanks Turkey Hill
