You cannot go wrong with supporting local nor eating ice cream! While the line can get long (I…read moresuspect most visitors in the summer are on summer time anyway or visiting a cabin) so I recommend embracing it all in and enjoy the beautiful weather that we don't get 24/7. There is lots of street parking and an oversized funky chair on the exterior that is unique to snap a photo on. Inside, you will feel transported back into your 70's and 80's ice cream parlor with typical ice cream options, shakes, sundaes, malts, etc. and even food options as well. There is also a small market where you can purchase candy, fudge, root beer, licorice, syrup, local honey and even beef sticks. My shake was delicious and I can't wait to visit again this summer. Thank you!!

We were excited to visit Burnett Fairy Cooperative on our way back down to the Twin Cities from the…read moreNorth Shore to pick up some fresh cheese and delicious snacks. We originally stopped by the location up in Duluth, but we opted to wait until going to their main factory in Grantsburg before purchasing anything. This location of Burnett Dairy Cooperative is basically an entire complex, with a gas station and convenience store, all the milk storage tanks easily within view, the corporate offices and factory, and then this store filled with tons of different dairy products from all over Minnesota and Wisconsin. It was an absolute madhouse walking in at 2PM - it was so crowded inside there was barely any room to even walk around and browse. I'm honestly not sure why they are so popular. We especially wanted to order the fried cheese curds since their old menu stated they were made with fresh Burnett Dairy curds, battered and fried in house. Well, that's no longer the case. They now get their cheese curds from a supplier and it isn't made from Burnett Dairy curds, according to the cashier that I talked to. Oh well, the next best thing? Ice cream! We went up to the ice cream station, lined up for a while, and then learned that, nope, they don't make their hard scoop ice cream either. It's from Cedar Crest. They also don't make their own soft serve base! The only thing they do is churn a mix from an external supplier in their machine. Seriously? If I'm looking at a random drive-in or candy shop, or a middle of nowhere ice cream shop, sure use Sysco or other commercial food supplier. But this is a dairy cooperative we're talking about! They should be making their own products! As insult added to injury - for our fourth option we wanted to try the fresh cheese curds. They sell them for $6.99/lb, freshly packaged up on a table right near the check out registers. Unfortunately the bags were all around 1lb and we didn't want to commit to such a large package. Luckily we saw that one of the employees was bagging up more fresh cheese curds in the back. We asked if we could get a half pound and they said no, the minimum was one pound! No samples either! I really don't understand this store. This is a dairy cooperative that doesn't seem to make 90% of the items that they sell in the store. Our visit was definitely a huge let down. We actually went on a long detour to visit this store and ended up not purchasing a single item. Bathrooms - Larger ones, crowded and dirty

Homemade frozen custard! Say no more!…read more We were out snowshoeing at the Timberland Ski Trails and required a frozen treat after such a strenuous workout. It is only a 15 minute drive and located off the county highway. This is a one stop shop for local goods and organic foods. It is small but has produce, bread, meat, dairy, dry goods and local crafts. Everything is either organic and/or made locally. If I lived in the area or vacationed here, I would definitely shop at this store. But the true gem is the custard. WOW! I wasn't sure what to expect but the two scoops I tried were so flavorful and delicious! I had one scoop of coffee and one scoop of chocolate caramel crunch. Very please with my selections. The waffle cone was also very good. My boyfriend had two scoops of salted caramel praline and while he enjoyed it, I think too scoops was a bit much as it become very salty toward the end. Writing this review I am daydreaming about eating more. I kind of regret not buying a pint to go but now I have more incentive to return!
