Hopkins Farm Creamery

Stardate 65723.7

In mint condition!
08:45 - A small dairy farm sits on the countryside highway in Lewes, DE, named Green Acres Farm. This farm  houses 1,000 heads of cows with 500 milking cows and a wonderful creamery. When they are not selling their 12 million gallons of milk from the farm, Hopkins Farm Creamery makes some delicious ice creams in a billion different flavors. My Mom and I stopped off here on our way back from doing some heavy outlet shopping in Rehoboth. We literally were driving one moment, and she swerved into this small place the next. We had no idea what it was driving up; we just noticed a line of people at a 'shop' in the middle of no where. The locals knew the place to sell the best homemade ice cream around. Hours were not posted; they just knew it when to come. I guess that speaks to the old adage if you build it, they will come.  Mom snagged some apple pie ice cream, and I stuck to my usual mint. After having the dairy farm in the family for four generations, they sure know their way around frozen milk products. Next time you are in the middle of no where, DE, stop by.
Look! Real cows are there!
