Frankly if I want stuff mixed in my ice cream, I'm happier with a DQ Blizzard. Upmarket ice cream with stuff mixed into it isn't all that much different.

We have quite a few dairies near here that have their own ice cream lines ... now that's some awesome. The ice cream you're eating now was in a field out behind the store only a few days ago ... there's an ongoing competition between them on the ice cream flavors and attractions. Most people like the one without the e. coli, though.

Do you get Halo Farm ice cream out your way? That stuff is great. I'm not sure how far it gets distributed - I've only seen it in a few grocery stores and at the farm store itself in Ewing, NJ. The ice cream shop in Princeton, Halo Pub, kicks quite a bit of booty too.

While they have great homemade ice cream, they don't have mix-ins like Thomas Sweets.

The University of Maryland dairy made ice cream they sold at the dining hole. Their coffee flavor was pretty darn good. Unfortunately it also contained copious quantities of E.coli, salmonella, or other nasties. Took me a while to figure it out because there were plenty of other foods to make one sick at the dining hole.

I haven't had Coldstone, but since they push mix-ins I'd guess the ice cream itself isn't all that good. How's that for prejudice?

No Halo Farms here ... the three we have are Freddie Hill Farms, Merrymead Farms (which is the one with the nationally covered e. coli outbreak and a dead kid ... the e. coli wasn't in the ice cream, it was on the cows in the petting zoo), and Rosenberger's Dairy Wagon ... although Rosenbergers is a huge commercial dairy and has no cows on the premises. They make ice cream for commercial sale beyond their "Dairy Wagon" store on the plant grounds.
