THE TURKEY HILL ONLINE ICE CREAM TOUR IS READY!
Posted by: Turkey Hill Team
One of the most common questions we get asked is whether or not Turkey Hill offers tours of the Dairy. The short answer is no (the Dairy isn’t set-up for public tours, although Ernie does give tours to special groups now and then), but now, thanks to the miracles of animation and the internet, you can get a behind-the-scenes look at the ice cream making process here at Turkey Hill Dairy!
Feel free to check out the tour here. We hope you enjoy it. It took a long time for our web team to create – mainly because Ernie kept adding little details here and there.
The tour includes a look at everything from how the milk and cream is delivered to how the fresh ice cream is frozen for storage and shipment to grocery stores. Don’t forget to roll your mouse over the red circles throughout the tour to learn more about how we make ice cream. For example, did you know Turkey Hill uses over one million pounds of marshmallow each year in our ice cream? You do now…thanks to our new online tour!
Follow us on twitter!
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.

August 31st, 2008 at 6:33 pmI really enjoyed the tour, what a great job. I really appreciate all the hard work you people put into such a great product, makes us really appreciate the Ice Cream more. Again great job. Linda
August 29th, 2008 at 7:03 pmTurkey Hill ice cream is just like other foods. The process of canning home grown foods takes a lot of work and effort, but it is well worth it when you sit down and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Thank you Turkey Hill.
August 29th, 2008 at 11:24 amThis is cool but I’m waiting to see the real thing on the Food Network. Any idea when they will be showing it?
August 29th, 2008 at 12:56 amWhat a very informative and entertaining way to show us through your operations. It’s a great way to keep the attention of both adults and children and I learned so much from the presentation. Thank you.
August 28th, 2008 at 9:32 pmI enjoyed the tour. Thanks Turkey Hill!
August 28th, 2008 at 7:27 pmEnjoyed the tour. My grandkids got a kick out of it also. It’s good for them to see that some food takes a lot of work to make. Would love to take it in person some day.
August 28th, 2008 at 6:21 pmWhoever put the tour together should get a bonus! Very well done. Is Turkey Hill a 24/7 operation? If not, what time do they start…end?
August 28th, 2008 at 5:08 pmI read Richard’s comment about not being about to see the tour
August 28th, 2008 at 3:48 pmI hope that he can get some tech help from his internet provider
I have watched the tour and found it to be quite good
The animations were entertaining and the information was good, but I would like to see the actual equipment – probably because I am a chemical engineer.
August 28th, 2008 at 3:19 pmI would love to comment but I can’t get any further on the tour than the Welcome page with he happy cow and the ice cream cone. The rest of the tour icons are grayed out, and there is no downloading going on. There is no visible way to start a video or download. What am I doing wrong?

August 28th, 2008 at 2:33 pmThe tour was great. I just love Rocky Road ice cream. I never realized it took so many steps to make ice cream.
August 28th, 2008 at 12:58 pmi would love to see it in person
August 28th, 2008 at 12:31 pmThat was wonderful and very informative, thank you!! A lot of work is put into making your ice cream, and it really is delicious. A job well done! I can’t wait to show my grandkids.

August 28th, 2008 at 9:38 amPCN tours staring Ernest Bovine [Earnie] is probably one of the best how they do it there is.
August 28th, 2008 at 9:20 amVery cool! Loved the tour!
August 28th, 2008 at 7:54 amThank you so much for all the information and the tour. It’s hard to imagine the magnitude of all the ingredients and the different formulas for the various flavors but obviously, you got it just right! All the little details that Ernie added for us are greatly appreciated.
