I've passed by this place so many times and always noticed the "Ice Cream" banner outside. I had made a mental note to try it one day, but never stopped by since my go-to ice cream spot has always been Sparta's Shack. For Mother's Day, my mom wanted to go to Sparta's Shack, but it was closed. We did a quick search, saw that Andersen Farms was nearby, and I remembered the ice cream banner, so we decided to stop by. Parking is available on the open grass area. When you enter the main building, the ice cream station is located in the right corner. I got a regular cup ($4.99), which lets you choose up to four flavors. I went with Judy's Coffee, Pop's Chocolate Chip, and Strawberry. The ice cream was really tasty and flavorful -- it tasted homemade. The portion size was also huge. They also have farm animals outside and plants available for purchase. I found my new go-to ice cream spot whenever I'm in the area. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for high-quality ice cream. * Parking on premises * Ice cream can also be ordered on the side * Ice cream samples available * Cinnamon sugar donuts available in the Fall * Family-friendly read more

This place is such a treat! I usually come here for pumpkins in the fall and always have a good time. My nephew loves the playgrounds here. I came here on a Saturday in August with my mom and nephew and really enjoyed our time here. We checked out the animals, chickens and goats, very cute. Then we played on the playgrounds and got ice cream. Their homemade ice cream is amazing. I got their coconut blueberry ice cream and my mom got their nutty for pistachio which was also delicious. The portions were huge for a regular size. It was $15 for 3 regular sized ice creams which I think is great. They had a ton of plants out. Their little store has fresh baked goods, breads and pies, and they also have little knick knacks and toys. Overall, this is a family friendly, warm, and inviting place to visit. Don't skip the ice cream! read more

I've been going past Andersen Farms for years and I'm just sad that I only made the first stop this year! Their coffee bar is so imaginative, sure to please most. Their farm store has such a great mix of items and locally grown produce. But the star of the show is the ice cream - their black raspberry 3x chocolate is heavenly! As for their seasonal flavors, I tried the coconut blueberry and the Elsa called it Double Stuff and am begging for both to be permanent items! Great grounds with playgrounds and tons of farm animals for the young and young at heart to enjoy. Definitely make it a priority to visit! P read more

I love Andersen farms so much. It's a beautiful place, with so many cute things to look at - flowers, produce, homemade desserts, crafts, they also have amazing ice cream with so many cool flavors and creations. I love the animals around the farm too. They recently added a coffee bar so I went this morning and got an iced oatmilk latte with sugar free salted caramel, and my boyfriend got an iced latte with vanilla cold foam. We both love our drinks and it was not overpriced at all! The vibe is just amazing and so homey. The staff is so calm and friendly. An underrated place for sure. read more

Great people. Fresh produce. I went there when they were offering to make our own ice cream sandwich. I made mine with mint chip in between brownies. You could tell that they made the their ice cream from scratch. They even had their own small mini cafe. Will most likely go back there in the near future. read more

Andersen Farms - Ice Cream Sandwich (Mint Chip between Brownies) - Farms Near Me - Sparta, New Jersey

A very beautiful place to shop for plants , flowers and bushes. No one pushing or rushing you. You can take a cart and look around. They have many plants, not available at the big name stores. They have a petting zoo for the kids. Too hot, grab a lemonade drink or slushy or a specialty flavored ice cream. read more

We were driving back from the Poconos and saw a sign that said they had ice cream made on the farm. We immediately pulled over. We did a quick search and it seemed worth trying. They had a line full of people, usually a good sign. They also had a few outdoor tables that were comfy and breezy. The line moved quickly and we ordered the Dad Bod sundae for $8.50, it was 2 scoops. I haven't lifted in months, so I felt I was already living this sundae. It had stout flavored ice cream, fresh sweet cream, candied bacon, and chocolate covered pretzels. It was delicious. I don't think I will be back, but if I ever pass along this route, I will definitely stop. They also had a store with breads and pies that were labeled from Clove Brook. It seemed liked a few items were labeled from local places, along with a few more common brands. We bought a Very Berry Pie and apple cinnamon bread. Everyone was really nice. I saw one of the ice cream stand people adding dollars to her tip jar when people were standing in front of it. I thought it was a hilarious reminder to tip, if nothing else, it's worth tipping them and respect the hustle. Everything seemed very well kept and clean. It was nice and open air. There are goats that are cute. It might be a bit out of the way, but I would regularly visit if I lived anywhere close. read more

I noticed this farm one saturday morning when we drove past it at 11am heading to buttermilk falls. There wasnt much crowd yet but when we decided to stop by after our hike at 3pm the parking lot was already packed. Nevertheless, we went as the farm looked so inviting! We noticed they had so many mums for sale at a really good price. They were beautiful and healthy looking. We got the 3 for $16 which I think was a pretty good deal considering the plants were bigger in size. There was so much to see that day from goats and this fluffy chicken walking around lol, more plants, colorful pumpkins from their amazing pumpkin picking area, to their ice cream shops and store which sold a variety of things! They had some meats, milk, pastries, cookies, fruits, syrups, and other items such as mugs, towels! It was so much fun! Lol i seriously enjoyed myself there it was like a farm wonderland! We tried their home made ice creams and i brought their cookies, banana bread and pumpkin bread. They were all delicious! I so want to come back again. For now, let me flood this page with photos and videos! read more

PROS: - great tasting ice cream - good for kids - playground for kiddies to play and interact w animals - goat enclosure - roaming chickens - they have lots of goodies, snacks, and homemade foods to try and buy in the store - cute gift shop - animals look well taken care of CONS: - plant prices are a little higher than average - can get packed on nice wknds, but manageable - locates on an interstate, so can be difficult to get out if making left turn We stopped by here driving to and from PA with the draw of homemade ice cream. The place is a decent size with a large goat enclosure with at least 10 or so goats. Animals look very well taken care of. The ice cream is really tasty and definitely has that homemade creaminess you don't find at big stores or store brands. Good place to stop and see the goats and get a scoop or two, and some snacks to bring home. read more

I have been coming to this cute little farm for a few years now and could not recommend it more. From the vegan ice cream, to the fresh produce and farm animals it is an absolute must to go to if your in the area. I haven't tried the coffee here yet but it always smells great read more

So I had a crappy experience there. Stopped by on my way to PA to pick up some veggies. They have an ice cream stand and they happen to have vegan ice cream. Great! But when I get my scoop in a cone the young girls tells me is almost $8. Eight. Friggin. Dollars. I told her the menu says it's only like $2.50 a scoop, so how did it become $8? She says the vegan one costs more. I'm fine if vegan foods cost more; it's quite common. But they didn't list it on their wall menu. It doesn't say anywhere that it's $8 for a tiny ass scoop. I ask for the manager and told her it doesn't state anywhere that it costs more and that's it deceiving to tell a customer the cost afterwards. She just nodded her head and gave me this look like "ok, keep talking and once you leave, I'll do absolutely nothing about the pricing and keep lying and deceiving my customers." Avoid this place at all costs. The price for the veggies and fruits aren't cheap. I've gotten better prices back home in NYC. They clearly don't give a shit about customers and any issues they bring up. It's also illegal to sell a product without making the prices public. Their only redeeming quality is they have a few goats and chickens to entertain the kids while taking a road trip break. read more
