A must stop for Peach Ice Cream. We spent about an hour looking at everything. They have everything from fresh vegetables to clothing.
If you want a break from interstate travel, this is a good little place. Ice cream, lunch menu, peanuts, peaches, fresh veggies/produce and all sorts of gifts items are available for you to purchase. I will tell you that the very same peaches were 50 cents cheaper in Montgomery than at their produce market. So, if you are looking for a cheap deal, it's probably not your place. But, it is a good little stop to stretch your legs, eat lunch or ice cream when you need a break.
Durbin's Farm Market is a wonderful location for a short break from traveling. Located just off of I-65 at Clanton, AL they have a grest fruit stand, a nice deli, great hand dipped ice cream and a small boutique-like shop. They are famous for their fresh peaches, fruit and vegetables, but they have several specialty items that are a true treat. One is no suger-added chocolate coated pecans. They have white and milk chocolate. They also have no sugar added butter pecan ice cream. Both great items for those who must watch their sugar intake. Lastly, their desserts in the deli are made fresh daily and are fantastic - especially their chess pie. It is unbelievably delicious but loaded with sugar. The fruit stand features whatever fresh fruits and vegetables are in season - especially peaches - along with items such as jams, jellies and cider. The prices are a little inflated but the items are good. Hungry? Stop by and order a sandwich. Just need a little snack? Try the pecans, fresh roasted (on the spot) peanuts, or the ice cream. Lots of items to choose from. The staff is friendly and helpful and the bathrooms are clean. Pull over and rest a spell.
Stop for some ice cream even if you don't need produce! Their is a large variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables, jams and preserves, and gifty items to pick from. It's just off the interstate in an area where you can grab lunch and gas after you snack on the good stuff! This stop is a tradition for us on the way to and from our beach vacation. Give it a try, you'll love it!
good peaches for time of year and great ice cream for any time of year. I prefer the plain peach ice cream to the peach/pecan.
We were told to stop here on a road trip for a Peach Swirl. It was such an awesome building! With great produce, items to purchase, and ice cream counter. I think it was called a Peach Swirl but it was a frozen yogurt shake with fresh peaches in it. Oh man, I crave it now. Sadly, I live in the Midwest and will not be able to visit soon but I think of it often.
The ice cream is wonderful. They also have baked goods and sandwiches. the boutique has very stylish cloths and goodies. only complaint is hard to find parking and a place to sit.
Lots of neat little nick-nacks, fresh fruit, jams and daisies, and yard goodies. Did not get any icecream or food on this trip but deli area looked very clean and relaxing.
We have stopped at Durbins many times and during many seasons. Yesterday, I hit the jackpot. Peaches and other produce were in and what a treat. I walked around the outside market to see strawberries, peaches, water melons, and a lot of other farm produce. The peaches I got were a little hard and was told to leave them on the counter for a day or so. I was concerned about them, but after one day, they are ready to eat. Very juicy and just wonderful. So characteristic of the produce we get from Durbins. I recommend this stop at exit 205 on I 65 between Birmingham and Montgomery. Because of the timing, lunch and ice cream did not work for me on this visit, maybe next time!!
We stopped in for dinner. We got there ten minutes before they closed abd were going to move on, but they insisted we stay. We never felt rushed even though we left 30 minutes ahead their closing time. Great little spot for yummy sandwiches and shopping. They even gave my kids free ice cream scoops. We had a great peach pie.
