I very rarely give negative reviews, but after speaking with the owner about his dating problems with his milk, and his lack of concern over the issue, I decided to write this review. I purchase their milk at the Fareway Store on Grand Ave in West Des Moines. Unfortunately, the chocolate milk sours a week before the sell by date on the sticker on the cartons. I love the taste when fresh, but they add so much sugar, I don't recommend it. AE and Hiland all last to their sell by dates in my fridge with no problem, but Picket Fence starts to stink a week before the sell by date so I end up pouring over half the container down the drain; what a terrible waste of time and money. I've tried buying the chocolate milk over 30 times and I had to pour it out before we finished it probably 25 of those times. I keep their milk in the bottom right back corner of the fridge, the coldest spot, but it sours when everything else in the fridge is fine. I will never waste my money on their chocolate or strawberry milk again. This is Gatordog's 1-Star Look. This is what the Strawberry milk looks like 2-WEEKS BEFORE the expiration date. On a lighter note, Neva's Cheese Ball lasts just fine in our fridge and is enjoyed...
Read moreThis is LIFE-CHANGING icecream. One night, my wife and I were in a local hyvee, and wanted a little treat for the night. We decided on icecream. After a short stroll through the freezer section, we determined a container of namebrand vanilla icecream was a solid bet. Upon grabbing a quarter and walking away, the Picket Fence Creamery quart caught my eye. It was as if someone from a past life was calling me. I didn't know why I was attracted to it, but I was consumed immediately with temptation. I removed it from the cooler and made the decision to place the other quart back. Upon getting home, I cracked it open and served up myself and my wife. I took a bite. It was instant euphoria. I slowly consumed the rest of my serving to savory it intensely. 20 min had past since I finished it when I started to experience a pulsing sensation through my body. It felt incredible. It was like a wave of serotonin and endorphins were washing over me. It was cleansing me. I woke up the next morning a new man. I've been eating Picket Fence Creamery icecream everyday since. I'm not addicted, but I just need it to feel normal, or even just good at all. Picket Fence Creamery changed my life. I would recommend...
Read moreDecide to adventure out to Picket Fence Creamery after seeing so many reviews and ads. It is a journey and you have to want to go there as it is off the beaten path, but we'll worth the trip. We splurged and got a Strawberry Rhubarb Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream. We also bought enough ice cream as there was a buy 4 get one pint free. You can hopefully see the different flavors in the pictures. We also got some beef sticks, eggs and a bottle of wine made in Iowa. This is a neat little shop and a small business farm. It is well worth the trip. We haven't tried the items yet but will update...
