Tulmeadow Farm Store — Restaurant in Simsbury

This farm stand is super delightful. There is a store and an ice cream window. They have all sorts of flowers and plants out front. Walking in, I was greeted by a friendly employee. They had all sorts of items; ice cream, ice cream sandwiches, handmade soaps, jewelery, honey, maple syrup, candy, sauces, fruits, veggies, milk, eggs, lollipop, chocolate, meats, and various accessories. The store gave me that friendly small town vibe. The owners, The Tullers, have been farming on this land since 1768!

I specifically went in for the ice cream; they had so many flavors to choose from. I had the m&m cookie and graham cracker ice cream sandwiches, the cookies were chewy and the ice cream was super creamy. I also had the pint of Ube (purple potato) boba ice cream; the ice cream was so smooth and creamy, the flavor of ube was light and delicious, the boba was hard and chewy. I think I'd like it more without the boba; I did notice they had the Ube and chocolate chip version I might try out next. I am looking forward to going back to get some more ice cream because they were so good and had so many flavors to try. I like that they experiment and have unique flavors. Also, I love to support small local businesses, especially when they produce quality items. There is a walking trail onsite. First, take a hike then get yourself an ice cream treat, it's a no...

This farm and ice cream shop is a family owned gem that’s been here, from what we were told by one of the family members, since before the Boston Tea Party. I was searching for a place with a nice location that made their own ice cream. When I found this place after a quick search it ticked all of the boxes. You arrive to a nice old working farm with tons of old out buildings…my kind of place. It’s in a really nice quaint surrounding for you to sit in your car and enjoy your ice cream. This is of course after you’ve stared at the menu for 10 minutes trying to decide which of the amazing sounding flavors they have that you’re second guessing yourself trying to narrow down to one or two. I ended up going for a sundae with some marshmallow cream that worked really well. I won’t mention which two flavors I got, because you won’t go wrong with whatever you decide upon.

After eating our ice cream we went into the farm shop. There’s a nice variety of items as well as tons of hand packed containers of their ice cream, even ones they don’t currently have at the stand. 😮

This is a must stop for me and the kind of place that I’m happy to see continuing to thrive. I live 50 minutes away, but will happily be going...

This place is awesome especially if you are a home gardener like me. It's fun to come and get a delicious farm made ice cream from the ice cream window or pick up a pint to enjoy. I'm 100 percent thrilled that they are now making all kinds of flavors of their plant based ice creams. My favorite is toasted almond crunch. Hands down that flavor is the best vegan ice cream in the state! I love shopping at their store and buying handmade items like knit pumpkins, bracelets and homemade pasta sauces. They sell products from other farms as well including frozen cuts of meat, chicken pot pies, chicken nuggets and goat cheese. In the summer they have whatever is in season...apples, peaches, green beans, etc. Their corn is the best corn around...so sweet! The farmer and his daughter are there manning the cash register during the week and I love to stop by and pick their brains about building my greenhouse and gardening in general. They are so friendly. Happy to say I also joined their CSA this year and am really looking forward to having a variety of fresh produce...
