I recently wheeled across Indiana on a fundraiser. As I was wheeling the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail…read morein Elkhart County, I learned about Mooey's Ice Cream. Mooey's is an Amish-owned, seasonal ice cream that offers friendly people (including the owner), a unique and beautiful setting (including farm animals you can pet), an outdoor area where you can sit (there is no indoor dining as everything is walk-up or drive-up), and delicious ice cream that is generously served. Quite honestly, I loved this place and I think the entire crew considered it one of our better fun stops. It's actually about 1/2 block off the Pumpkinvine. You do have to go up a long driveway that is mostly crushed gravel - a bit challenging in a wheelchair. Parking is in a gravel parking lot. You can drive up to their rather simple storefront. I was a little concerned as I had a film crew with me at the time (and the Amish shy way from photos), however, they were friendly about it and the owner even came out and introduced himself. I think he may have been impressed that I handled his gravel driveway in my wheelchair. There's lots of ice cream flavors and some food options. I only had ice cream - and a medium M&M ice cream option that was ginormous. Whereas it seems like most places scrimp these days, this was rather generous in my opinion. At the side of the building, there's a farm animal area that was delightful - goats, a pig, and a donkey you couldn't help but love. There was even some food there so you could feed them. It was awesome. My entire crew had been craving ice cream - one place we'd wanted to go was closed, however, Mooey's was open and really lived up to the effort it took to get to them. One of my favorite things about the Pumpkinvine is the presence of the area's Amish (on bicycles - buggies and horses not allowed). This was just sort of an exclamation point on how much I love the Pumpkinvine. This was an absolutely delightful stop and I'll for sure head back when I'm in the area. As a note, however, they are seasonal. For example, this year they are closing for the season on September 28th. However, this is for sure a place to stop when they are in season. For obvious reasons, they don't have a website. There's a port-o-let on the grounds, as well. Business was steady throughout our stop and it was clear that those who love Mooey's are dedicated to it. I can't wait to go back.

Later this afternoon, the six of us visited Mooey's Ice Cream for dessert. They were very busy,…read morewith a short line, when we arrived and a very much longer line when we left the parking lot. The ice cream stand is located directly in an active farming area. There were lots of farm animals in our viewpoint. One of my favorite animals was present for a nose rub and a squeeze (photo too), a burro. We had a variety of ice cream representing three different creameries: Kemps, Yoder's and Guernsey Farms. The flavors that we had were chocolate peanut butter, southern butter pecan, moose tracks, triple peanut butter, mint chocolate chip and butter pecan. All were enjoyed.

While the cookies weren't warm they were still very soft and easy to eat. I asked for a dish and was provided a tray that was too small. The milkshakes were creative and well put together. The ratio of milk to ice cream could use some work as they were quite thin. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Overall the place appeared clean with the exeption of the floor that really needed to be swept. We will definitely return!
