Went to the pumpkin patch in Merrymead Farm. This place has an ice cream shop. I really liked how fresh and thick the ice cream tastes. They definitely get it straight from the cow source. They don't offer samples which is a real bummer so I went with my usual. It was a graham slam. I really liked the chunks of graham cracker. The place also has a bunch of milk to buy fresh as well as other interesting snacks for purchase. After the ice cream, we walked outside to the greenhouse. The greenhouse had somewhere to buy stuffed animals and apple cider/ pies for sale. I wasn't impressed with the hot apple cider- it tasted like something I could get in the grocery store. Outside the greenhouse there were pumpkins for sale. For fall, they also have a corn maze and other activities for the kids. read more

Are we just ignoring the inhumane practices of this farm? Sometimes the only way for change is to not support the problem. I don't want my children enjoying the views of inhumane habitats for animals. This was heartbreaking and I'm so sorry. read more

Cute little farm to come visit. Parking is free and the admission is generally free except on some holidays. Used to be able to pet the animals but thats not allowed anymore. You can feed the animals but you need quarters for the machines. They have a small farmers market and a general store with outdoor seating. The produce is fresh. There is running water for hand washing but only porta potties. Could be fun to come with your kids for the experience. Be sure you take pics of them in the cutouts. read more

Merrymead Farm is such a cute spot! They have wonderful ice cream, delicious baked goods, and specialty meats during the holidays. You can get plants, outdoor decor, and herbs as well. They have lots of great seasonal activities, like the bunny train at Easter, a fall festival with pumpkin picking, and other themed events. In addition to the activities they have some wonderful farm animals you can visit! The staff is very kind, and always helpful. It has a family-owned feeling. read more

Went for holiday desserts. Thought the pies could have been sweeter and had more cinnamon. Did check the web page before selecting pies. They are also small. Store is just the right size. Not sure I will be back. read more

The perfect place to grab an ice cream cone on a balmy summer night and during National Ice Cream Month, too! They have over 30 flavors to choose from but most importantly, they offer my favorite: peach! The venue also offers a small market, access to farm animals, and other special events during seasonal celebrations. Various sizes and cones available. read more

What a great way to spend a fall afternoon! I enjoyed a walk through the corn maze and had a great time getting photos in the sunflower field. And to top it off, amazing ice cream in a pretzel cone!! read more

Ugh, I love this place! I wish I lived a lot closer so I could go more often. It reminds me of another dairy farm where I used to pick up local ice cream when I was growing up. What a nostalgic, beautiful place this is. We placed our orders at the front counter, and circled back inside the store to buy some ice cream tubs. My friend insisted on the dark cherry. On the other hand, I beelined straight for the cold brew coffee. And as a coffee fan, I had to get the whiskey-coffee at the counter. Nice and smokey! Definitely got the whiskey part down too. Easily the best coffee ice cream I've had in a while! Til: if the peach flavor is still available, get it! It's seasonal so once they're out, they're out this year. Totally coming back! read more

Merrymead Farm is a local destination in this part of Montgomery County for families who want a taste of farm culture, including homemade ice cream, wholesome bakery goods, seasonal fruits and outdoor picnicking. It has been around for over 100 years in the sound ownership of one family. Although cold creamies are its forte, I was there because it was apple season and the right time to buy my favorite Apple Cider Donuts and their primary ingredient- Fresh Pressed Apple Cider. Those other pies and pastries looked great (talking about you, apple cranberry pie and lemon bars), but they would have to await another visit. Prices are a bit jacked for the novelty of the enterprise, but there is real quality in the products sold, so there is a reasonable choice to be made. Those Apple Cider Donuts are a soft cake style with plenty of sugar and cinnamon. Excellent with morning coffee. The actual cider is best when very cold or warmed with cinnamon stick. Definitely brings a full flush of autumn magic. The high schoolers running the shop were as pleasant and efficient as they were when the business opened in 1971. Some things never change. read more

A great place to take children! We love seeing all the animals while we are visiting. The ice cream is delicious and there are many flavors to choose from. The small shop is also fun to look around at all the goods and foods they offer. We especially love coming in the Fall when the corn maze is open and hayride is running! read more

The best ice cream in town love the flavor selection and Arnold the pig!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great ice cream, and nice little convenience store to buy stuff in. Has good seasonal flowers as well.

New to the area went there for the first time today. Love the atmosphere, farm and store. We love home made ice cream and were excited to bring some containers home for the kids. We got chip cookie dough and mint choc chip. While we were impressed with texture and quality of the ice cream. There were very little amounts of chips and cookie dough. We added nestle morsels after the kids complained. Not sure why they skimp on the cookie dough and chips, maybe that's how some people like it. We will not be going back, but if you like plain flavors, this is the place for you. read more

Was kinda sad about our experience here. My friend saw the sign outside about an orange cream milkshake and we decided to come in for that. She was very confused that the price for the milkshake is $9.99 when the menu clearly displayed $7.99 any flavor. She decided to get it anyways and I asked her if it was worth it and she said no. She said it wasn't very orangey. I ordered the Brew haha flavor ice cream. I like it and I would go back for that ice cream. read more

This is the best ice cream in all of the Bucks/Montgomery area. I've tried all of them. The texture is perfect and that's sort important to overall ice cream experience. It's so creamy and delicious, and not overly sweet or cloying. It's really so good. Get whatever flavor you want because it's all amazing. And the staff is really sweet there. Why are you reading this instead of driving to Lansdale though?! read more

This is absolutely the BEST homemade ice cream ever!!! We stock up on it in my house. The monster cookies when they have them are so good. The people are always so polite and helpful. It's a nice quaint little place on a farm, nice and clean and full of yummy items. Go visit and try for yourself, you won't be disappointed. read more

The food and treats here are some of the best. Local business providing fantastic treats. Their ice cream and ice cream cake (not pictured) are fantastic in portion size and also in flavor. Very creamy and not too sweet. Quick service! Great outdoor eating area and plenty of parking. read more

Great place for kids! My daughter love this place so much, we make it an effort to come as much as we can. With COVID, it's hard to find a place to bring your kids but being that this place is outdoors, it's perfect for kids. After walking around the farm and my daughter making million MOOOOO nosies at the cow, we stop by their store and buy some treats for the house and milkshake for the road! This place is definitely worth checking out! read more

Very disappointing visit. Actually made me sad. I loved this place throughout the years, but now they charge $24 per person just to walk around and have the opportunity to buy donuts. In a day and age where everything is overpriced I thought I would be able to count on a family owned Merrymead as a place where one could enjoy an autumn day without breaking the bank. I was going to spend plenty of money on pumpkins, ice cream and donuts anyway. No need to charge the $24. At least give a lower priced option for those who just want to walk around. I'll now add this to list of places ruined by greed. read more

Ice cream. Yum. Little food shop. Animals for the kids. Wander the farm. Eat great ice cream. Can't ask for more. read more

Merrymead Farm - the front of the building - Bakeries Near Me - Lansdale, Pennsylvania

It's a very nice dairy farm open to the public with some extra attractions for the visitors. In the early spring, young calves are kept in the separate area under dome-shaped igloo-looking crates. You can visit them in a nearby barn other times of the year. It's fun to see them especially during feeding time. There's a small farm animal zoo very popular with kids including large pig cage housing Franklin when we visited. I think it depends on who's turn to be sleeping there--I have seen Orville and Wilbur in the past. I have never seen them being active (awake) during our past visits. Bunnies are in their cages. A large aviary houses a pair of peacocks. He may startle you with his very loud cries that can be heard throughout the property during entire time of your visit. There's a corral with goats and donkey. It seemed number of animals decreased compared to our past visits--perhaps due to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns. There's a small gift shop with a rack of t-shirts, some produce, local honey and such. It also offers large selections of seasonal flowers (potted or cut) and vegetable seedlings & plants in the spring and summer outside. In the fall around Halloween time, there will be a huge pumpkin patch for you to pick your favorite or two.... The last but not least, it's a local favorite ice cream spot--a part of an operating dairy farm. Ice cream here is so fresh, smooth and sweet. It's a really fun place to visit and enjoy walking around this dairy farm and enjoy some great ice cream. read more

Merrymead Farm - graham slam ice cream - Bakeries Near Me - Lansdale, Pennsylvania

The ice cream was probably some of the best ice cream I have ever had, but the prices were insane both for the ice cream and the store, however people pay it so good on them for charging it I guess. It was great to try while in the area but I would not go out of my way to try it out. read more

They make their own ice cream and it is work every penny. Great variety of flavors, I had soft serve black raspberry vanilla twist with sprinkles. Shop has local goodies hard to fine at regular supermarket....fresh cinnamon sugar crusted cider donuts and shoofly pie. You can see the cows being milked and buy the milk products at the store. Best whipped cream ever!! read more

Merrymead Farm - The also have seasonal flowers year round - Bakeries Near Me - Lansdale, Pennsylvania

Like most other farms, this place gets absolutely insane crowds in the autumn. At least they have a large parking lot and parking lot attendants to match, which is something most other farms do not offer. Their ice cream and other food items are delicious, so make sure you get some before you take a look around. I have to say though, twelve dollars for a corn maze, really? That is steep. Aside from that I think they set it up quite nicely for fall fun, so if you plan accordingly it should be okay. read more

If you're reading this review, you probably want to know - what flavor should I get? Apple caramel drizzle. It's seasonal, but oh man, it taste like the perfect fall. It's creamy, there are fresh apple chunks in them and it's very very lightly spiced to taste. I could probably eat a whole tub if I was allowed. On the other hand, their chocolate was good, but wasn't anything to rave home about. They've got a store where they sell a bunch of things made in house - obviously ice cream, but also milk, eggs, cheese, pretzels (?!), meat, etc. We took home a bacon cheddar cream cheese dip and used it for jalapeno poppers. 10/10. Overall, this is a really cute place to go, whether it be with your kids or for a date or just for yourself. Behind the store, they've got cows, rabbits, peacocks, etc, behind the store and open to public to wander. I'll be back. Side note: If you're reading this during COVID times and want to understand how COVID friendly it is, I'd say they're taking their precautions. It's outdoors and the staff were wearing masks. Not sure if the same applies when they're busy though. I went on a Wed evening in Nov and there were maybe two other groups. read more

Grew up going to Merrymead and have many great memories there! During the month of October though, forget it! Crazy busy, lines for days, and the cost of each little activity adds up quick. Looking forward to venturing back at a less chaotic time of year. read more

Best hand dipped ice cream I have ever had. Moo Trail to Mooooooooooooooooooooooooooon

The absolute best!!! I have been going to Merrymead since I was a kid and I just love how they have always kept it somewhat the same. It has a way of giving you that nostalgic feeling while walking around looking at charlottes web and the infamous height chart. Since moving I don't get here as much but I stopped today for the pumpkin ice cream - the best flavor by the way! I got a "single dip" cup and it was the perfect amount of ice cream. You walk right up to a window in front of the store for easy ordering. I would also recommend stopping by and checking out the animals and the gift shop which is FULL of goodies read more

Ordered a vanilla soft serve. My daughter said it tasted wrong. I tried it and it was grainy....maybe the machine was not mixing it properly that day. I asked to trade it for a regular vanilla scoop but the kids working refused to help and just ignored me. Disappointing day at the farm. read more

I love merry mead farm, I go there for the sunflower events, fall events! I've been going there since I was a little girl! I love the sunflower field, it was only $5 per person and 2$ a stem!! This place is great and I always have fun! The animals are nice to look at too! read more

Merrymead Farm - They had some huge sunflowers - Bakeries Near Me - Lansdale, Pennsylvania

Went to buy a pumpkin, see the animals and get ice cream for a toddler. I could not believe that we needed to pay the entire "attraction fee" to see the animals even though we had no interest in any of the fall festivities. So we skipped the animals. The ice cream line was unbearably long so we ended up skipping that too. Very disappointing. At least we got an overpriced pumpkin. read more

Don't bring your children here unless you want to teach them about how animals shouldn't be treated. It's bordering the line of animal cruelty to keep animals in such sad living facilities. Please make a change Merrymead. It is advertised as a wholesome farm but in reality it is just a factory farm. The cows I don't have much to say about, but what's the point of having rabbits and peacocks for display in tiny cages? I felt bad for all of the animals there, there is tons of room and I think the animals need upgraded living facilities. Overall this place is depressing but unfortunately common when it comes to factory farming, the ice cream didn't blow my socks off either, the chocolate had minimal flavor. read more

We have been coming to this farm for over a decade, and has been our favorite place to grab ice cream. Typically the farm is clean and animals looks well taken care of. The reason for the 3 star review is something has changed in their ice cream recipe. I have tried multiple flavors in the last two months such as strawberry, peach, chocolate raspberry chip, honey cream, and there is something artificial now in the flavoring. Not sure if others noticed a changed, but the ice cream is not the same! read more

Farm was great and the rides they had. It was very well organized. Food was amazing. We got chicken fingers, fries and apple cider donuts. Very tasty. read more

One of the best farms that I have visited this fall. The hayride was amazing--instead of sitting on bales of hay, you are actually sitting on a floor of hay a trailer. It was $5 a person (I think this was an increased weekend price because I remember it being $3). They also had some farm animals. There is a corn maze, but it said it might take an hour to complete so I didn't attempt it. Keep in mind, this place is cash only, so come prepared. There is an ATM on premise, but who wants to pay a fee for accessing your own money? Can't wait to go again next year! read more
