Delaware is known for being a big producer of ice cream. While we aren't home to the Ice Cream Capital of the World (thanks Iowa), we're sure home to some mighty fine dairies and creameries. This creamery is one of the oldest in the state, and still making some of the best ice cream in Delaware since the family opened up their farm 65 years ago.
Vanderwende Creamery Delaware is a family-run dairy located in Bridgeville, Delaware. This third-generation farm started with just $35 and six cows in 1954...
... and has since grown to a 4,000-acre, 225-cow operation!
You can meet many of the friendly Holstein dairy cows when you visit to pick up some of the best ice cream in Delaware.
The Vanderwende Creamery menu offers some of the best ice cream we'll ever try. The seasonal flavors take advantage of local produce, and the cows are milked right on-site. You can't get any fresher.
Key Lime Pie anyone?
In addition to seasonal and locally inspired flavors, you can also pick up all of your favorites at Vanderwende. Personally, I go for mint chocolate chip almost every single time I'm there!
Take a trip down to Vanderwende Creamery this year, either as a day trip or on your way to the beaches. It will be one destination that you're sure to fall in love with.
In addition to the family farm in Bridgeville, Vanderwende Creamery has stores in Greenwood, Fenwick Island, Dewey Beach, and Philadelphia.
Vanderwende Creamery photos and more information are available on its website. Have you enjoyed the ice cream here? What is your favorite flavor? Please share with us in the comments below.
