Straight from the cow!
Been trying to get to Ferris Acres Creamery for some time and today was the day. Maureen and I were joined by James Macklin, a buddy from Ottawa who partook in the journey.
Ferris Acres Creamery is the real deal, a creamery on an active dairy farm, although the cream for their products comes from a cooperative dairy coalition they participate with. They offer a wide range of flavors, some standards and some novel and intriguing concoctions. They offer cups, cones, sundaes with all the fixings…and believe me I mean all the fixings! And all very reasonably priced.
I had my old standby, a coffee milkshake with a scoop of chocolate. The shake was thick to the last drop but seemed to lack the coffee flavor while the ice cream had an icy, crystalline texture. Maureen had a sugar cone with a kiddie scoop of Crunch Factor which is coffee ice cream with crumbled Heath Bars. James had a kiddie scoop of a rich chocolate called Bad Habit. Both cones were delicious!
If your up for a drive head west to Ferris Acres Creamery and enjoy the scenery, their ice cream and the organic aromas of an active dairy farm!
