If you find yourself exploring the beautiful countryside of Central Pennsylvania, make sure to stop by Nittany Valley Creamery—a hidden gem where fresh, farm-to-cone ice cream is the star of the show. Owned by the Glick family, this charming creamery opened its doors in 2022, bringing their passion for quality, local ingredients straight to your taste buds. The ice cream is crafted right on-site using milk from the family’s own herd of cows that graze on non-GMO feed, ensuring the freshest and most flavorful product.

Nittany Valley Creamery offers a variety of treats, including milkshakes, sundaes, and a freezer stocked with pints, quarts, and even three-gallon containers of ice cream. They also make irresistible ice cream cakes and whoopie pies—perfect for any celebration or just a sweet treat to enjoy at home.

But it’s not just about the ice cream. The farm also offers fresh cheeses, yogurt, and milk in flavors like chocolate, strawberry, and even chocolate-peanut butter, making it a true farm-to-table experience. The Dairy Barn, where all this magic happens, provides a cozy atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating, so you can enjoy your treats while soaking in the stunning valley views.

During my visit, I couldn’t resist trying a cone of their decadent chocolate marshmallow ice cream. The rich, creamy texture and the burst of flavor made it an instant favorite! I also took home a bottle of their smooth chocolate milk, and it’s been on my mind ever since.

On weekends, the creamery hosts cookouts, serving up delicious hot dogs, burgers, and pulled pork sandwiches—an ideal way to pair your sweet treats with savory bites.

Keep in mind, that they’re a cash-only establishment and closed on Sundays, but their long operating hours throughout the week make it easy to find the perfect time to stop by. If you’re a fan of ice cream, Nittany Valley Creamery is a must-visit destination for a sweet, authentic experience in the heart of Pennsylvania’s picturesque countryside.
