Delawareans take their ice cream seriously — after all, this has been an agricultural state since the dawn of time! Dairy cows can be found in every county, and great, farm fresh ice cream is only a short drive away. One creamery in the state takes farm fresh to a new level, and you can actually hang out with their cows while you gulp down your favorite flavors.
Woodside Farm was opened by the Mitchell Family in 1796 as a dairy farm.

The Creamery opened in 1998, and they’ve been committed to making fresh ice cream right on the farm ever since.
