Hornstra Farms — Attraction in Norwell

Really peaceful place, with lots of well-behaved kiddos and their folks, and people just looking to enjoy an ice cream on a hot day.

You can sit by the mama cows in the field, visit the baby cows in the barn, or shop for some fresh milk, eggs, cheese, produce, bread, or sweets in the little store near the ice cream order and pick up windows.

Their “Pasture Patty” is a chocolate ice cream with fudge, chocolate chunks, and cookie dough. Their “Purple Cow” is raspberry with white and dark chocolate chips.

I tasted cinnamon in the “Pasture Patty,” so it wasn’t my fav. I enjoy Mexican Chocolate ice cream sometimes but usually do not prefer cinnamon in my chocolate (maybe I was tasting something else, but that’s what it tasted like to me :-P). The raspberry is delicious though! Can I suggest raspberry with Oreo?! :-)

There is usually a line on a nice day, but everyone is friendly, and the handicapped spot is usually...

While I cannot speak directly to the quality of products that Hornstra Farms sell, I can speak to the character of John Hornstra. My father has been an independently owned milk route salesman since 1977. In January of this year a careless driver ran directly through a mechanic's shop at which my father had taken his 1982 Dodge milk truck. It was a total loss, and we began the hunt for a replacement. Enter John Hornstra. My brother found the listing for a Hornstra truck, and from start to finish John Hornstra was the epitome of kind, caring, considerate and trustworthy. When a man of this character runs a business, I can't imagine customers being less than satisfied. Thank you Mr. Hornstra for being a man of your word and for being so willing to help out another milkman way down south...

I've been here 4 times. The lady running the store during the week is a sweetheart. I stopped by on a Saturday with my girlfriend and asked a question, and the dark haired lady with glasses looked very shocked and seemed very taken back by members of the lgbt community.

Prices are very overpriced. There are plenty of dairy farms just like this one much cheaper. And I did not mind paying for the product. But after the snobby attitude we will be getting a refund for our glass bottle deposit, cancelling the home delivery for a family member, and taking our business elsewhere.

Please understand it's...
