Looking for ice cream is nearly a full-time job while traveling. So many places sell you a cone but are not making nor, in some cases, even taking good care of their ice cream. I don’t avoid brands of ice cream, like Hershey’s for example, but don’t hide it from me. And don’t charge me gourmet home made prices. And, I admit, I have long been suspicious of soft serve ice cream. So many of those are cheap, grainy, runny and tasteless. But there are exceptions and Cruze Farm Dairy is not only an exception it is exceptional. We stumbled on it in the midst of picking up our dinner from the excellent Five Oaks Kitchen - we were doing take out instead of dining in this week and there it glowed on the hill right behind Five Oaks. We picked up some already in the freezer pints and went back to the house. Everyone liked it and plans were afoot to go back for more. We referred to it as the “Pretty Girl Ice Cream Shop”: and there were a lot of young women who were all dressed in red gingham and bright, matching red lipstick. A cute theme carried out in the decor of the whole shop. Yet it is the ice cream that is the star here, smooth, full of flavor - a simply wonderful product that means I must rethink my long held prejudice and expand my ice cream limits. A very good thing.
