Icecream Journal

Each Wednesday throughout National Ice Cream Month, we’ll take a closer look at a part of our home, Lancaster County. This week’s “Taste of Lancaster County” entry is about the many roadside farm stands that dot the countryside. Each Wednesday, we’ll also give away a Lancaster County prize to one commenter chosen at random from this entry. Good luck!

A visit to Lancaster County, known as the Garden Spot of America, wouldn’t be complete without a trip to one of the thousands of roadside farm stands. The farmlands of Pennsylvania Dutch Country boast some of the richest, most productive, non-irrigated agricultural soils in the world. With most of that land devoted to over 6,000 farms, it’s no wonder Lancaster has some of the best produce and fruit around!  The fruit and produce you can buy at these stands is among the freshest and most flavorful you can buy. A wide selection of seasonal homegrown treats such as strawberries, tomatoes, sweet corn, cherries will keep you coming back for more.

Turkey Hill Dairy is very proud of Lancaster County’s agricultural heritage, and to help preserve that way of life, Turkey Hill donates a portion of all proceeds from the sale of our All Natural line of ice cream to the Lancaster Farmland Trust. The Lancaster Farmland Trust is a nonprofit organization that works to help preserve farms through conservation easements. When you purchase any All Natural ice cream flavor, you’ll help preserve treasured farmlands and our way of life for future generations. It’s our way of ensuring there’ll always be enough Lancaster County goodness to share.  

This week’s Taste of Lancaster County prize will be a basket full of authentic local fruits and vegetables purchased at a local roadside stand. Good luck, and if you’re ever in the area, don’t forget to get yourself some fresh Lancaster County produce!
