There is absolutely nothing negative to ever say about Iron Kettle. I've been coming here since I…read morewas a kid and even though I'm out of the area my parents still live in Vestal and I make a point to get here every October. The farm is family run which is party of the charm. It's also been around forever it seems. It's the perfect fall family outing. There are barn yard animals the kids can feed, a corn maze, a very large selection of gourds and pumpkins, as well as a sort of country store filled with craft items, sweet treats, and seasonal décor. Food and drink can also be bought. There are also wagons to carry all your selections. The best thing about the farm, in my opinion, are the displays they put up every year. They show scenes from nursery rhymes and childhood stories all with pumpkins. And if that's not enough, it's all free (unless you choose you buy something, obviously).

A fourth generation dairy farm that excels in cheese and ice cream. We tried the 8 flight. 4 cheeses 4 ice creams. All were delicious. I tried the peach habernero Quark and immediately needed to buy one in the case. Its a super protein and so creamy. I can't wait to pair it with celery sticks for a nice snack. They offer a few coffee drinks as well. I ordered a caramel Americano. Next time I am in the area I will definitely come by again!

Such a fun experience!…read more So many fun flavors of icecream and different cheeses! Not to mention the adorable cows!! We tried the flight of 8-- 5 icecreams and 3 cheeses. For icecream we tasted the purple cow, peach cobbler, cookies and cream, black cherry chocolate, and the coffee heath crunch. My favorite was the coffee flavor- unlike other coffee icecreams I've had, this coffee had a much more robust and richer flavor profile. I liked cookies and cram-- always a classic. The cherry flavor was a tad too artificial for my liking. Purple cow was fine- very similar to the Cornell Dairy flavor- both are good though! I liked the peach cobbler flavor though wish there were more of the mix-ins. For cheeses, we tasted the butter garlic cheddar curds, the signature Summit Cheddar, and the plain quark. The garlic cheddar curds were so good, I took a bag home with me! Summit cheddar had a nice nutty flavor, not too 'sharp' though. The quark was interesting... it had a rather mild flavor and interesting texture (similar to boursin). I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it. I also took home a bag of the tomato basil cheese curds which I didn't like as much as the garlic ones. The tomato ones had a very subtle flavor-- too subtle. There was a line when we got there though it moves relatively quickly and is definitely worth the wait! Overall, I had so much fun picking out so many icecreams and cheeses to taste as well as seeing the cows! I would highly recommend Shtayburne Farm!

Milky Way Farms is a small dairy farm that in addition to producing and selling their own milk,…read morethey also have a small restaurant in their store. I keep thinking one of these days Anthony Bourdain will do a show on rural Pennsylvania and end up at the Milky Way. They produce completely organic milk products including cheese and hamburgers. Having grown up on a dairy farm I have a huge soft spot for the Milky Way. The love affair is also helped by the fact they have the best milkshakes in the world. Every time I'm home I get to drink their milk because my parents still drive out of their way to get their milk here. Their little restaurant has a simple menu that includes sandwiches and burgers. The burgers are awesome. I'm pretty sure they burgers are from their own cows, but cannot confirm this. Either way they are fresh and you can watch the cook prepare them across the counter from you. So if you find yourself in "upstate PA" make a point to set your GPS to send you Milky Way Farms to have a burger and root beer milk shake.
