They offer a ton of wonderful flavors (makes it hard to choose!) but they are happy to offer taste tests to you if you ask. The staff is warm and welcoming. They do only take cash which is a little tricky these days. The thing stopping me from 5 stars is it is pretty pricey for an ice cream cone.

That is the one caution is to be prepared for eating ice cream and smelling the odors of a farm. The ice cream is very good, and there was plenty of seating space for everyone who wanted to sit and eat including some hammock-like seats. After eating the food, you can look at the displays, and climb on the tractors. It is a unique chance to have dessert and a show.

They also had a mechanical bull you could ride, which was super fun. The location was awesome too because they had a mini silo that they made into a stairwell that led into the top of the ice cream barn. Upon entering the ice cream barn it was so cute. They had such nice details throughout and even the bathrooms were painted like a cow. They had a large selection of cedar crest ice cream as well as homemade popcorn. Prices were fantastic! Portions were large. Probably why there was such a big crowd when we got there. I will definitely be back when visiting to try more flavors. Loved the entire experience and wished we had an Ice Cream Barn like this around where I live!!

Stopped in early morning on a Friday. Fresh, squeaky cheese curds for the picking were on display…read moreand I, of course, pick up a bag and started to devour them when I got back into the car. But before the cheese curd endeavor, I had ordered a scoop of ice cream which was darn near the best I've had in a very long time - so good it rivals my ultimate favorite frozen custard. I forgot the exact flavor name of ice cream, but it was a peanut butter chunk chocolate.... Also, this "scoop" of ice cream I requested was not merely a scoop, it was more like a bowl! Also picked up a variety of meat, summer sausage and meat sticks. Never can go wrong here. Highly recommended if you're within an hours drive! Funny thing to add is my work colleague was with me - he did not grow up in Wisconsin and never had fresh cheese curds. I had been talking about squeaky cheese curds before we had been here and he gave me the crazy WTF look when I was trying to describe them. Well, he popped a few into his flapper, and he started to tell me "hey, these squeak when I chew them!". He's then telling me, hey.. squeaky cheese curds... they actually squeak! Laughing his ass off at the same time ..... and amazingly, that bag disappeared very quickly
