What can we say…people like to take pictures of our Giant Cow. Even while passing it on the highway or, in this case, while behind it. Just ask our drivers. They get a lot of smiles and waves on the open road. The Turkey Hill giant cows will be home for the holiday, but wherever your travels may take you this weekend, don’t be afraid to give a smile and wave to a truck driver or two!

Thank you for researching the “snowball” ice cream,from the 50’s. I recall eating one in the shape of a miniature tree, also. It was a special treat at Christmas.
December 17th, 2007 at 8:14 pmIt’s probably the reason why I am so partial to your coconut creme pie flavor (smile).
In Newark, New Jersey it is illegal to sell ice cream after 6 PM, unless the customer has a note from a doctor. Happy I don’t live there.

December 16th, 2007 at 8:10 amI absolutely love Turkey Hill teas! I only get them when I go home to my Mom and Dad’s house in Delaware. I can taste those fresh, delicious teas right now! They taste like heaven in a glass, baby!
I need Turkey Hill here…..If you ever need a spokesperson, representative, or distributor in Atlanta, then honey, I’m the one you want!!

December 15th, 2007 at 11:24 pmThat’s a funny picture. I wanted to also write and describe how to make ice cream cakes that blow away the “Carvels” of the world. Our family used to purchase them for our sons on their birthdays - they love ice cream, but there was never enough “cookie crumbs” in the middle and the flavors were limited and not that tasty. Here’s how one can make a delicious and easy ice cream cake that really fits the bill. Using cookie crumbs - a one pound bag of whatever is your favorite - chopped up in a food processor - use half to line the bottom of a spring form pan - regular size. Then choose any two of you favorite Turkey Hill ice creams and allow them to thaw (i place one at a time in the microwave to speed the process. Spoon almost all of the first one on top of the cookie crumbs and spread smooth. It will fill the pan about half way - eat the remaining ice cream from the almost empty container (ha ha). Next, sprinkle the remaing cookie crumbs onto the layer of ice cream, then spread the other flavor of your choice over the cookies (after pressing them into the bottom layer of ice cream a bit). Smooth out the top layer of ice cream and place the “cake” into a freezer for a few hours or over night. To serve - just use a warm water soaked washcloth to warm the springform pan outer edge - pop the lever - and remove the side of the pan. Use a hot knife (I soak two in hot water and alternate using them) to cut, serve and eat!
December 15th, 2007 at 11:23 pmIce cream is delicious, but Dueto is even better!!
December 15th, 2007 at 10:52 pmIt’s still not as popular as our “Duck” out here on eastern Long Island!!LOL
December 15th, 2007 at 3:56 pmI love your vanilla bean ice cream!!!
December 15th, 2007 at 1:28 pmThat’s a whole lot of moo
December 15th, 2007 at 9:54 amEmma, don’t you mean you were udderly not prepared for it?
December 14th, 2007 at 1:01 amTurkey Hill has the best ice scream around!! All the flavors are great.
December 13th, 2007 at 8:16 pmObviously the cow has been working overtime.
Wooo Nellie, I need a little more warning if you plan to show the business end of a giant cow. I was utterly not prepared!
December 13th, 2007 at 7:29 pmThe Turkey Hill Swirly Cow recently visited The Art Institute of York - Pennsylvania when we changed our name from Bradley Academy for the Visual Arts. The cow was such a hit! She welcomed our students, faculty and staff on the first day of our new name…and her colors match our new logo. It was really a treat to have her as the focal point of our celebration. Thanks to all the nice folks at Turkey Hill for letting us show (all her sides!) off!
November 28th, 2007 at 9:32 amCheers!
Well, the Giant Swirly cow has many good sides, including this one. If you ask her, she prefers her left side. We’re not sure why.
November 26th, 2007 at 12:45 pmI saw my first Peep-Mobile yesterday on the Food Channel. Now if we can get the Giant Cow, the Peep-mobile, and the Oscar Mayer Weiner-mobile all in the same place, whatta celebration THAT could be!!
November 23rd, 2007 at 8:35 pmP.S. Why can’t I find Columbian Coffee down here? It’s a rarity.
what can I say? amazing view!of the hind quarters!
November 23rd, 2007 at 4:07 pmThe TH cow and the Just Born Peep-mobile should have a show-down in PA. Everyone would win!
November 23rd, 2007 at 1:10 pmLove the cow! Does it give out free turkey hill?
November 23rd, 2007 at 6:48 amwhat a view. everyone should get to see your cow at least once and this is a photo of its good side, right?
November 22nd, 2007 at 11:53 amWe were traveling down Rt 30 in PA one day and passed a GIANT Red Swirly cow going in the opposite direction. At the time, we’d never heard of the Giant Swirly cow,, but I came home and check it out on the computer,, TURKEY HILL!
November 22nd, 2007 at 10:43 amWe had a much nicer view though! lol
Wow, what a view…. ahem, Happy Thanksgiving to all the readers, bloggers, ice cream enthusiasts, truck drivers, Ernie, and the whole team at Turkey Hill! You guys rock!!!
November 22nd, 2007 at 10:32 amHappy Thanksgiving to all at Turkey Hill…including the cows and the truck drivers!
November 22nd, 2007 at 9:26 amI love the cow. I need to go find some Peppermint Stick and Egg Nog Ice Cream now.

November 21st, 2007 at 5:31 pmNew title for the Ice Cream blog: Ever hear of “As the world turns” on TV, how about “As the cream churns” =)
November 21st, 2007 at 3:04 pmThat is so cool!!! I would be so excited to be driving behind the TH cow on any day of the week!! I’d take my picture and send it to everyone I know! Then go to the store and buy some TH to celebrate!!
