ARE YOU READY FOR NATIONAL ICE CREAM MONTH?

Posted by: Turkey Hill Team

July is only five days away. It’s our favorite month of the year because July is National Ice Cream Month. That’s right, a whole month dedicated to celebrating the greatest culinary invention EVER. It’s so great, that when sliced bread was invented, everyone called it “the best thing since ice cream.”

Last year we celebrated National Ice Cream Month by doing some cool things here on the Ice Cream Journal and 2008 is no exception. This year we’ll spend July getting back in touch with our roots. That means you’ll see lots of entries about the history of Turkey Hill Dairy, but also about the history of ice cream and some glimpses of life here in Lancaster County.

As for the prizes…well, that’s the best part. Each Wednesday in July we’ll write about something in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Those weekly entries will include an authentic Lancaster County prize, which we’ll give away to one comment chosen at random from that entire week.

At the end of the month we’ll give away our grand prize: a package that includes a year’s supply of Turkey Hill ice cream, a one-night stay at a local Lancaster County bed & breakfast AND a personally guided tour of Turkey Hill Dairy by everyone’s favorite ice cream expert, Ernie!

We’re pretty sure it’s the biggest prize we’ve ever given away here on the Ice Cream Journal and we can’t wait for July to begin!

My husband grew up in Pennsylvania. He ate Turkey Hill ice cream by the gallon , so he says. I always thought he was kidding me because having never been to the North, until recently, I thought he was making it up. Now I know there really is Turkey Hill ice Cream.

I think July is my new favorite month of the year now since I learned I can now dedicate it and associate it with ice cream. I want to win the grand prize more than anything else. I cannot tell you how wonderful and more enjoyable my life would be knowing I can always come home and have a bowl of ice cream…at no cost. I would rave about Turkey Hill to all my friends, and recommend it to them and preach how lucky I was to win. Not to mention as a recovering anorexic, the added ice cream to my diet would help me gain the weight I need!

A trip to Lancaster and possibly free ice cream for a year what could be better? We took our son to Lancaster last summer and he had a blast. We also had free ice cream and iced tea at the Cherry Crest Adventure Farm where we tried to make a hay structure. We lost but had a great time.

My all time favorite is Choclate Cherry Cordial but had to find a different flavor because when I would take it I would follow the fudge vein or keep digging out cherries and before you know it I would have demolished almost the whole container. Those fudge veins are just endless and gooey.

One of my fondest memories of growing up in Selinsgrove, PA., was visiting my Grandma & Grandpa Herrold and helping them make homemade vanilla ice cream in their 1950’s style kitchen. Thanks to Turkey Hill, I’m able to return to that time & place each time I dip into a bowl of your vanilla ice cream. Although you’ll never bring back my grandparents, you do bring back the memories I have of them and those “deliciously wonderful” days. God Bless! :o)

My favorite is the mango duetto. My son Nicholas chooses the mint chocolate chip. He likes the fact that it is white and not the standard green color. Winning a year’s supply would thrill all of us. 2 teenagers live here and their friends are constantly in and out of the house too. Extra ice cream would be a HUGE success!!!!!

I would love to see a Turkey Hill Red Raspberry Ice Cream with dark chocolate shavings. If shavings wouldn’t be a possibility maybe a raspberry puree rippling through the ice cream. I think raspberries are probably too costly to make this happen. Shucks!! My 13 year old Poodle Pierre and I have Turkey Hill (most times) ice cream every night!
He thinks his portion is too small.

I haven’t met a Turkey Hill Ice Cream that I didn’t like. Your ice cream reminds me of my childhood, under the old oak tree at my Nanny’s house. She would make a freezer of homemade ice cream and we would all take a turn churning. It made those hot days of summer more bearable.

My 85 plus year old mother who is diabetic, saves her one treat a day for her evening bowl of Turkey Hill icecream, either Dutch Choclate, Columbian Coffee or Moose Tracks. She loves icecream. She wont waste that treat on anything else but Turkey Hill. I think her last meal would be a bowl of Turkey Hill, so for her every month is ice cream month.

I’ll keep looking for Turkey Hill ice cream at the grocery stores here.

My family loves TH Ice Cream. I grew up in Berks County, and I really like the Duetto flavors. We’ve created our own little addition to them, by taking some Flat Earth Fruit Chips, like the Mixed Berry, crush them in our hands, and pour them ontop of the Raspberry Duetto Flavor. We also take the Lemon Duetto and add the Peach Mango Fruit Chips and do the same. The chips taste like ice cream cones, and but having it in a bowl, the ice cream doesn’t melt all over the sides of an ice cream cone and onto your hands. We would love to win a year’s supply of TH Ice Cream and stay in a local B&B. We are coming to Denver, PA for a wedding reception in August.

Hmmm So let’s see 2 1.5 litres Choc (Philly Style) every 2 weeks (4 amonth) for 12 months = 48 total + add 2 for my Birthday month (sept) + 2 for Turkey day (Nov) + 3 for Dec friends and family need their own (I don’t share all my stash) so that = 55 containers for just one year! Who knew TH could be a great math question! Things that make you go hmmm (LMAO) Good luck Y’all

Oh wow I could really use some free ice cream for me and my 12 grandchildren. They all had their first taste of ice cream sitting on my lap-which sad to say is now bigger!

What a better way to celebrate the 4th of July than with delicious cold TH ice cream or sherbet? You really should make some red, white and blue flavor for the holiday. How about vanilla with frozen blueberries and raspberry or strawberry swirl? YUM!

National ice cream month and our country’s celebration of our freedom, what better way to celebrate than with family, friends and plenty of TH ice cream to cool everyone off after picnics and fireworks. July is my favorite month!

I would love to visit Lancaster and visit your factory. It seems like an interesting tour, for I have never been in an Ice Cream factory before.

The last time we actually vacationed in Lancaster, our oldest son was 2. He is now 28 and just got married. Loved Amish country. We were so young then and my husband was an ice cream fanatic even then. Over the years i have become one too, I guess. Believe it or not we are not big night time eaters. When we come home from work, “dinner” is usually a coffee cup (or two) filled with ice cream.
