And, today proved to be an awesome day just for that!!
It was pretty late in the day when we arrived at Hopkins Dairy. That’s what locals call it. Hopkins Farm Creamery is located at Green Acres Farm on 18186 Dairy Farm Rd., Lewes, Delaware. The farm is at the intersections of Rt.9/404 and Dairy Farm Rd. Tel. 302-645-7163. Website? http://www.hopkinsfarmcreamery.com.
Green Acres Farm has been owned and operated by the same family for 4 generations. It is the largest dairy farm in Delaware.
The people were lining up; some were discussing which flavors to order. You can check the flavors on the boards outside. They have gluten free flavors for those with a gluten allergy. Also, they offer sugar free ice cream, as well. Both, gluten free ice creams and those with nuts are labeled.
This gentleman ordered the very popular Chocolate Banana Walnut. It was one of those days that ice cream needed to be eaten fast; 87 degrees at the Delaware Beaches!!
Another gentleman ordered a vanilla baby sccop. Those are the ones that children usually order…hey, that’s what he wanted.
My husband wanted a gluten free, sugar free, vanilla milkshake. The size was 24 ounces. That’s the only size they had. Half of it was gone in no time; the other is in the freezer. I tasted it and all I can say is that it was creamy and totally delicious….and, if I had not known that it was sugar free, I would have never noticed.
Hopkins Farm Creamery opens every day, at 11 a.m.
You have to check the cows!! Talk to you later.

Ice cream aficionados will all agree; it is never too chilly for ice cream. It is my downfall. I love it any time of the year. I also do not discriminate. From a Frosty to homemade ice cream….an addiction, I would say.
Remember how gorgeous it was on Sunday at the Delaware Beaches? Well, I took off with Michael to Hopkins Farm Creamery which is located at Green Acres Dairy Farm at 18186 Dairy Farm Rd. You cannot miss it because it is at the intersection of Rt. 9 and Dairy Farm Rd. Tel. 302-645-7163. Website? http://www.hopkinsfarmcreamery.com. Green Acres Dairy Farm has been owned and operated by the same family for 4 generations.
Michael and I were looking for seasonal flavors. The first thing I saw was a lady carrying the biggest ice cream cone. Two flavors; Cappuccino Delight and Butter Pecan.
You will find so many flavors. Plenty of Gluten Free Flavors, as well. They are well marked.
A triple scoop of Pumpkin Pie.
A double scoop of Cappuccino Delight.
Michael and I agreed; the flavors were defined. The Pumpkin Pie tasted just like that. The same with the Cappuccino Delight. Both were very smooth and not overly sweet, either.
We also took a take out of Chocolate, Banana, Walnut and more of the Pumpkin Pie.
Our private tasting still showed that the Pumpkin Pie was so delicious. Gluten Free too!!
And, the Chocolate, Banana, Walnut was also very well received. The ice cream had the predominant flavor of chocolate with a hint of banana.
Hopkins Farm Creamery is open Sunday through Thursday, from 11 a.m. until 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m.
Check the website because there are coupons available, plus plenty of information on this most unique farm. You can also find them on Facebook and Twitter.
Have a good one!!
