I am a serious ice cream lover. I do not live anywhere near Valley Dairy Freeze, but thanks to their delicious tweets (@dairyfreeze) and Facebook posts, I was compelled to drive miles and miles to try this place!

The strawberry picking began at 9am, but at 9:30, we were one of the first ones out there. We headed into the general store, picked up a cardboard basket and there was a tractor waiting outside. We […]
