We found out about Lapp Valley Farm from a tourist at a farm stand so we went. We loved the ice cream. It's so creamy. They make fresh waffles cone there too. Chocolate is my favorite. My husband loved the coffee ice cream. They also have a small petting zoo with cows and calves. My son loved seeing the animals. It's a very relaxing and pretty place. There is also a peacock that runs around. :)Last time we went we were able to watch them milk the cows. I highly recommend going to get ice cream and hanging out with the animals.
Go for the homemade ice cream & remember to pick up a milk to take home. You don't even have to get out of the car. Never to cold for me to eat ice cream in a homemade waffle cone. At Lapp Valley Farm, your ice cream won't be dripping out of the bottom of your waffle cone 'cause they fold the end up. Not pointy but squared off. Great value.
Nice working farm for the kids. Great "home made" ice cream. Somewhat out-of-the-way, so get directions first!
Great farm nestled in the rolling hills outside of New Holland, PA. They have outstanding ice cream. They also have a drive thru and sell milk and juices.
My husband and I visited Lapp Valley Farm for the second time on September 17, 2014 and it was wonderful. The ice cream and waffle cones best ever, and the farm is so beautiful. We were able to see the sunset (they close at dark), God's creation so beautiful. And we saw some young cows and a Peacock. The people are very nice also. Last time we went got to see a Amish Buggy going via the drive thru window to get ice cream, it was so cool to see a horse at the drive in window. Great for families.
Even though it was wet and cold, the ice cream in a waffle cone was no doubt the best I'd ever eaten...anywhere, hands down. The drive-in window service was different to any other, and the service was quick and to the point. The Amish dairy doesn't use any chemicals or drugs in its herd to boost or increase milk production, so it's as close to the cleanest milk and dairy products you'll get. Make sure to visit and have a drink or milk, or a milkshake or better still, an ice cream cone while you're in the area.
I been to this place twice this place is beautiful. I love the homemade ice cream. the friendly cats and the dogs were great. you can also see when they milk the cows.
We make a point of visiting every time we are in the area. I've been going there now for about 40 years and the ice cream is the best you can ever have. There is a nice porch to sit while you eat and then you are free to visit the young calfs on the farm.Really nice location for ice cream!
We got lucky: when coming in am, we were offered just-made vanilla ice-cream. Amazing staff. Got to socialize with few cats on a farm and watched cows going around their business:)
This place is a real gem in Lancaster County. They make wonderful home made ice cream, and the black raspberry is one of the best I've ever tasted. Combine this with the home made waffle cones they make right there, and you have one of the tastiest treats ever!
