Hand Crafted Artisan Ice Creams
Todd Durant is the resident ice cream maker. He creates up to 15 small batches every morning during the summer. That way it’s fresh, instead of buying it from a factory that stores it in freezers and ships it across the country. We’re a micro-creamery.
“In addition to vanilla, butter pecan is the best seller,” said Todd. “It’s made with a generous amount of buttered and salted roasted pecans. During the holiday season, our hand-layered Spumoni ice cream is a traditional favorite that customers wait for all year.”
Dave is the designer, visionary, and resident entrepreneur. He has created unusual sundaes including spaghetti (scoops of ice cream dipped in chocolate and nuts for meatballs, and yellow-tinted coconut flakes for Parmesan cheese), and egg-on-toast (a scoop of soft-serve on top of a slice of pound cake, topped with an apricot half for the yolk.)
Today, the Dairyland offers 100 varieties of frozen yogurt. Their Flavor Machine was designed by Uncle Ray. It allows the customer to create “design-it-yourself” treats using fresh fruits, nuts, peanut butter, sauces, etc. to suit one’s imagination. We’re told that some customers even bring their own fruit for their creations. Uncle Ray’s is known around the area for its five-foot long banana splits. “We once created one that was 150 feet long for a large group picnic. Not a Guinness record, but it sure was long!”
