Still one of favorite ice cream spots…read more They changed their name to BROWN COW. So maps and other programs may show things differently. Also, they have a rule against having pets. I think something happened before. Regardless, I don't have a dog and it doesn't affect me. What matters is the ice cream. They get the milk from Guernsey cows which you can visit at certain times. The milk is super creamy. As a result, the ice cream is thicker and creamier than others. I like their creamy flavor if you like plain. They circulate flavors and recently tried their strawberry which has chunks of strawberry and has a nice flavor profile. They are right off the road so easy access. They have picnic benches all around and a playground for kids. Certain times in Spring/Summer, there's a flower field to look at. The service is good. Never had problems. The inside is rustic and simple. The main thing is to get the ice cream which is worth it in my opinion. It is a farther drive for me, but the quality doesn't compare. We had tried a lot of places near by and we still find this one as the superior one.

When I pulled in, it was nice to see several parking spaces available. On a much sunnier day, I wouldn't have been as lucky as there are only 17 parking spots, 2 of which are for handicapped patrons. I ordered from this part of the menu: Cones and Cups Choices: Cake Cone, Sugar Cone, Waffle Cone, or a Cup Ice Cream Flavors: Vanilla, Chocolate, Black Raspberry, Twist. They have several toppings and I wanted to get Butterscotch or Hot Fudge, but the employee reminded me of something: their ice cream is soft serve, so if I wanted to add toppings to my cone, it would need to be placed upside down in a cup. I settled on their jimmies instead (aka sprinkles) and got it on a small vanilla ice cream cone. I had a choice of chocolate or rainbow jimmies and went with the latter. Within a minute or less, I realized the small cone I selected was rather tiny and it had a wallop of ice cream on top. Within seconds, I could see it was about to melt right after it was handed to me, so I grabbed as many napkins as I needed. As I sat on one of their many picnic tables and proceeded to lick one side of this massive cone in front of me, I could feel the drips on the other side of my tiny cone, and this wasn't even on a hot day. I "tried" to be quick but ended up having some of the ice cream melt to the ground or on my fingers. Napkins to the rescue!!! Once I felt I was in control of this cone, the ice cream was good, plus you can't go wrong with vanilla. I was still glad I visited.

We will definitely return on another summer night for ice cream.

The ice cream is pretty good and not too sugary sweet. People here are nice and we got our ice cream quickly. Sat in the car and ate it quick before heading home.

When the peaches call, you must go! Something in my body told me to check the website to see if…read morepeaches were ready earlier this week, and to my surprise, they had stopped the picking to allow more fruit to ripen. Do you know what that meant!? It means they had already started picking them and I was late! Again! I remembered to look again today and it said it was open but it might not last all day and they highly doubt there would be peaches available to pick for Saturday or Sunday. The website noted the late freeze in April didn't give them a great harvest this year. That meant RUN RUN RUN ‍ so that's exactly what I did. Although I missed two exits getting there SMH, I pulled up, changed my shoes, and opened my trunk to grab my little red wagon. To my dismay, it was not there! I could not believe it because how was I going to haul all my peachesand by myself?! I quickly called my mama and she told me she indeed still had its. I was heartbroken because I was already by myself and no one could come such last minute but now I have to somehow carry the heavy peaches through the field and the hot sun. I looked around and saw wheelbarrows but already knew they would be way too heavy for me to pull around the field so I quickly emptied a reusable bag for my box to go in, and headed to the stand. This year you have to purchase a entry band for everyone that is within the field. That $3 goes towards the farm and whatever they need. Years prior, container size you purchased dictated how many people could go into the field to cleft l collect for that box. Bigger box, more people. I noticed a sign stating I couldn't bring a tote bag in the field and the gentleman explained he would have to check it on the way out. I didn't really care about that and explained to him how I left my wagon and he offered for me to use one of their wheelbarrows. I declined at first because I knew it was going to be too heavy for me to haul around and I instantly had flashbacks of back in the day trying to move that thing. I decided to walk over and see how heavy it was. Guess what!? These wheelbarrows are so lightweight! They're not even made of steel LOL I was so happy and quickly grabed the wheelbarrow, put my box in along with my things, and headed into the field after paying. The smell of peaches fermenting has got to be one of my all-time favorites! It was a warm day today so I definitely took my time and tried to find shade as I picked my peaches. My box quickly filled up so I grabbed one, munched on it and then left after taking some video. What a quick visit. I knew my next stop was to grab my favorite peach butter so I headed to the store. They have less products this year and I wondered how our current climate has been impacting other farms which helps supply their store. They have a few different varieties of mushrooms all boxed for 10 bucks to include lion's mane, porcini, yellow trumpets and others. I made my way around the perimeter of the store and saw some of the usuals like beef jerky, beeswax candles, kraut, cheeses, milk and such. When I got to my favorite spot with my peach butter, there was none! The whole top shelf was empty! This has happened to me before and I had to come back. Hopefully I'll be able to grab some at a later date but if you go grab me a jar lol. I then started looking for to Taharka's ice cream and noticed a deep freezer with a sign indicating the ice cream was inside. I decided not to grab any because I wasn't too sure if I was headed straight home or not. The last time I had to eat both pints so that they didn't melt in my car . . . . . I can't wait for my next adventure at Larriland. The fall will be a great time to visit as well. Oh yeah, right now currently they have onions, tomatoes, potatoes, beets and some other pick your owns in season as well. Happy picking

I'd say it's better suited for the toddler or younger age. My six year old twins enjoyed their time, but it was fairly limited with activities. We bought fall festival tickets in advance and wish we didn't since some of the activities weren't open since it was too early in the season. We also were expecting the fruit and vegetable picking would have been included with our tickets, but they weren't. The market on site was great with a wide range of vegetables, fruits, and pastries. Everything was fresh and we bought way more than we would have normally! We went on the hay ride, which was enjoyable but again more geared towards the little ones as it passes by Disney characters made out of paper mache. After the hay ride, they had a "boo barn" which was a walk through haunted house, which was more like light up goblins in 2 rooms. That was the other item, besides the hay ride, that was included in the $14 dollar ticket for each of us. We didn't think that was really worth the price of over $50. We'd recommend skipping the fall festival tickets. Instead, the real value and fun was the fruit and vegetable picking. We picked raspberries and tomatoes. It was fun! Our advice: skip advance tickets and just do the picking. It was a nice 2 hour detour but not a full day activity like so many other farms nearby.

Former employee here, anybody else that currently works here will know exactly who I am within a…read morefew sentences of reading this, and I refuse to remove this review. I started working here as my first job in March. Everyone seemed very nice and pleasant to work with, I was getting decent working hours, the workload wasn't hateful, and it was what I expected out of a first job. A couple weeks after getting hired, however, a few cracks started appearing from working there. First came one night after one of my shifts where a very nice man approached me as I was waiting outside how he admired my appearance and professionalism when asking for an application, the interview process, and working there, but then he advised me that this establishment is not the place I would want to be if I expected good treatment from my management. I naively dismissed this remark as I hadn't noticed anything negative come from anyone higher up thus far and we bade each other a good night. My first real indication that something wasn't right was that it took a full month for me to receive my first check (on April 29th from starting March 28th) on the bi-weekly pay schedule everyone was set up on. To their credit, they had paid me for all the hours I had worked up to that point up to April 12th where that first pay period ended, but after that was when there began more issues. For the first few weeks I had worked there, I was working 4 days/week (20hrs/week) then one week came to surprise me because I had been under the impression that my schedule would be the same each week when I had learned that I had been scheduled only to work that weekend: there was a sheet I had been previously unaware of until I asked why my hours got cut and got told about it. I'll admit I could have asked for more hours albeit I had been told I was scheduled based on the flow of business so I decided not to question it. On my last day of working there, I had arrived on time, a few minutes early, for my shift that started at 10am that day. Problem was, was that the owner (or what I presumed to be the owner) hadn't come yet to open the place which was supposed to open at 10am that day until around 10:10am with customers and other employees waiting outside with some talking of leaving and going elsewhere if the place hadn't been opened within another few minutes. After the place had finally been opened with everyone now inside, I was instructed by the wife of the person I presumed owner to start cleaning up the server's station. A little bit later, I was told by a different coworker, another former employee, in the kitchen that, that type of work I wasn't hired for and that I needed to help in the kitchen and then he told me to help prepare some of the food which I started to do. Soon after THAT, I was redirected by the wife to clean the server's station again, but this is where my coworker intervened and told the wife what he had told me a few minutes before. So she gets on the phone with the boss who had hired me to begin with about what I was supposed to be doing there and then he called me to tell me that I was now only to do dishes, and to only listen to him and the kitchen manager for instruction. Everyone else was to be ignored beyond that, but not 5 minutes later, did the wife come over and tell me the same... except that I was only to listen to her, her husband, and another manager who wasn't the kitchen manager, and that I was not to enter the kitchen area without permission. So, I just listened to the boss that actually hired me and did the dishes for the rest of my shift. Later that day I had informed my boss that I quit. Up to this point, I had not received my paycheck from the period of April 13th through the 26th. Nor had I been fully compensated for the period of April 27th through May 10th, being paid for working one shift when I had worked 3 during that time. Now, after 3 whole MONTHS of arguing back and forth have I gotten that final check of the money they owed me. Like that man said, management is not good here. Don't go here if you can help it, thank you
