WHO’S GOT A SPOON?
Posted by: Turkey Hill Team
June is National Dairy Month. It’s sort of like a warm up for National Ice Cream Month (July), but it includes other milk-based goodies like cheese and yogurt. Did you know that milk is the official beverage of Pennsylvania? It’s true. Dairy is also the largest part of Pennsylvania’s agricultural industry (over $1.5 billion annually).
To help celebrate National Dairy Month, several key figures from the state dairy industry gathered on the steps of capitol in Harrisburg last week. Among the items on the agenda was the creation of a giant ice cream sundae made with 90 gallons of Turkey Hill vanilla ice cream. The super-sized dessert was topped with 10 gallons of chocolate fudge, 10 gallons of strawberries, 30 pounds of chopped pecans and a ball of cherries.
Below is a picture of the treat (photo taken by the Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association). On the left is Pennsylvania Dairy Princess, Lyndsey Royek and on the right is Pennsylvania Secretary of Agriculture Dennis C. Wolff.

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.

June 10th, 2009 at 4:00 pmIt’s becoming increasingly difficult to find a good selection of Turkey Hill flavors so when we do find a freezer full of different selections we go absolutely bonkers buying up everything in sight.
July 1st, 2008 at 12:05 pmThat sundae sure brings home the importance of a good balanced diet of many many flavors to insure good health and satisfaction from our Turkey Hill products.
Next on my list is Root Beer Float! With the price of gas today it will cost me a fortune to find it but find it I will!
WOW – I’d love to jump into that on a hot steamy day!!!!!!!
July 1st, 2008 at 9:13 amWe’ll be visiting Lancaster to see that huge sundae!
July 1st, 2008 at 6:40 amNow THAT’S a sundae!
June 30th, 2008 at 11:13 pmThat Junior Mint looks pretty good. I’ll have to see if I can find it.
June 30th, 2008 at 9:56 pmNothing makes your happier than a big dish of ice cream. At the same time, there’s nothing that can turn that smile upside down than when it’s all gone. Turkey Hill is the best!!!!
June 30th, 2008 at 8:26 pmReminds me of my first job – Annie’s Ice Cream Parlor. I was the only 13 girl in my school that could whoop the boys at arm wrestling – thanks to scooping ice cream.
June 30th, 2008 at 8:26 pmminny mountains survered in my home wish i had a big dish like that to serve larger amounts
June 30th, 2008 at 8:15 pmIs there anything better on a warm summer evening than sitting on your porch with a delicious bowl of creamy, Turkey Hill ice cream?
June 30th, 2008 at 8:14 pmevery Sunday is turkey hill day in my house we mix and match flavors
June 30th, 2008 at 8:13 pmTurkey hill all flavors in my freezer is served every Sunday after our pasta dinner I keep at least 8 different varities we mix and match.
June 30th, 2008 at 8:10 pmThe ONLY ice cream I eat is Turkey Hill Rocky Road,its absolutly the best ice cream EVER!!!!!
June 30th, 2008 at 7:36 pmTurkey Hill ice cream is so rich and creamy, it melts in your mouth. I vote for Butter Pecan.
June 30th, 2008 at 7:24 pmWhat a bowl of ice cream. I buy Turkey Hill all the time and I think its the best. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to trying the new Junior Mint flavor.
June 30th, 2008 at 6:49 pmJust had our treat for the evening – Turkey Hill Dutch Chocolate (no sugar added) and now we are happy folk. That is one of our favorites.
June 30th, 2008 at 6:35 pmI recently visited a grocery store in Frederick MD. who had a special on Turkey Hill Ice Cream. I got two half gallons of Turkey Hill ice cream and the lady behind me had another brand.
June 30th, 2008 at 6:32 pmThe cashier and I were talking about the good deal on Turkey Hill Ice Cream and the lady behind me overheard the conversation. The cashier was saying “How can anyone buy any other ice cream but Turkey Hill?” I agreed with her that it was the only ice cream I buy because it is so good. The lady behind me heard our conversation and took the other ice cream back and got Turkey Hill. I’m sure she is a die hard Turkey Hill fan now too!!
wow, that’s alot of ice cream. my hubby would eat that really quick. no lie…i buy 6 turkey hill ice creams a week and he eats them all…i never saw anyone eat as much of it as he does. and, i mean the 1/2 gals. not little ones

June 30th, 2008 at 4:47 pmany desert
I allready receive the updates. Just a comment
The Rocky Road ice cream is one of my favorites, however I just seen the Junior mint on the Web, musy try it. The varity of ice cream you come up with amazes me. Keep up the good work, this is the only brand I buy now.
June 30th, 2008 at 4:46 pmWe’re snowbirds – we spend half a year in Florida. Unfortunately, I can’t find Turkey Hill ice cream there. I wish I could put some on ice and take it on my next trip to Florida.
June 30th, 2008 at 3:29 pmi’m in fla now and will be eturning to Pa sometime in July. I will be sure to stop in and get your new mint ice cream
June 30th, 2008 at 2:12 pmMy wife’s favorite would be to substitute your “Philadelphia Style Coffee” for the vanilla ice cream. The chocolate sauce, etc. is perfect! But no one could pass up a chance to enjoy your creation!!
June 30th, 2008 at 2:08 pmOH WOW!!
June 30th, 2008 at 2:03 pmGive me a spoon and I am in heaven!!!!
One of the best ways I can think of ending a long hard day is with a dish of Turkey Hills exciting flavors of ice cream. What better way to end a day!
June 30th, 2008 at 2:03 pm10 teenagers can take care of this stack of melting ice cream…
June 30th, 2008 at 2:02 pmNow that’s what I call a sundae!!! If I had been there I would have thought I had gone to ice cream heaven!!
June 30th, 2008 at 1:44 pmYour ice cream is so creamy! I love it. Particularly the strawberries & cream.
June 30th, 2008 at 1:41 pmI’m back home in PA and enjoying Turkey Hill ice cream. The best!
June 30th, 2008 at 1:32 pmYummo Ice Cream! As the song goes…Nobody does it better…..
June 30th, 2008 at 1:22 pmIn the heat of summer, I am sitting here imagining a giant mountain of Turkey Hill ice cream in every color and flavor under the sun.
June 30th, 2008 at 1:15 pmI would rather have a bowl of turkey Hill ice cream than a bowl of moms homemade chicken soup.
June 30th, 2008 at 1:12 pmBoy, would I like to dive into that!!Yum Yum. I wouldn’t be sick of eating ice cream either!!
June 12th, 2008 at 11:27 amWhat an honor for Turkey Hill and well deserved!
June 12th, 2008 at 11:10 amI would love to dive into this dessert! What a great way to celebrate National Dairy Month with lots and lots of yummy Turkey Hill.
June 11th, 2008 at 8:59 pmWow! How I’d love to grab a spoon and dig into that one!!
My family’s from down south, and I remember the first time my little sister came to visit me in Pennsylvania and marveled at the “black and white” (dairy) cows, as opposed to the brown and black cows (beef cattle) that we have back home. Cute!
June 11th, 2008 at 9:25 amOh my, what a feast! My mouth is watering for ice cream, and its morning, and I am at work, theres no ice cream!! I’ll have to wait till I get home, 5 o’clock get here soon!!!!
June 11th, 2008 at 8:55 amgreat picture-I would have preferred chocolate ice cream but the 10 gallons of chocolate fudge must have been a welcome addition!
June 11th, 2008 at 5:50 amhow nice that would have been in the 92% and humid the last couple of days to jump in and eat to cool TURKEY HILL.
June 10th, 2008 at 8:05 pmIt reminds me of the days way back when I was a teenager. There was (and maybe still is) a small ice cream chain that had a sundae called “The kitchen sink” It was probably a gallon of ice cream of multi flavors with all the toppings. A group of us at least 6 would order it and then dig in. Most of the time we finished it.
June 10th, 2008 at 7:41 pmLet me see, I have a shovel around here somewhere, LOL!
. That sundae looks delicious!
June 10th, 2008 at 7:10 pmOk…where is my mixing spoon, better yet…where is my exlarge soup spoon. I could just dig in and eat for days..
June 10th, 2008 at 7:07 pmthat would be breakfast, lunch and dinner.I wuold be too full to eat in between meal. Turkeeeeey Hill Ice cream hear I come with my spoon…
I would love to just dig right in with my moms large wooden spoon!!!!
June 10th, 2008 at 3:45 pmHopefully, all that ice cream didn’t go to waste. Give everyone a spoon and maybe they can set a time record in finishing off 90 gallons of Turkey Hill ice cream. I would have been more than happy to help.
June 10th, 2008 at 3:28 pmWOW, it’s almost worth it to move to Lancaster for some of the worlds’ super sundae. Gonna get my freezer stocked tonight with more of turkey hill. We are having a heat wave
June 10th, 2008 at 3:19 pmI’d finished that off in a day(in my dreams)

June 10th, 2008 at 2:00 pmYummy!!! What a great picture? Was everyone handed a spoon and told to dig in after the picture was taken? If so, I wish I was there!!!

June 10th, 2008 at 8:42 amFor those of you that live close to Lancaster we will be building a giant ice cream sundae at the Lancaster Barnstormers game on Saturday, July 12th in honor of Agriculture and Dairy night. Come out early to make sure you get some ice cream.
