Maple View Farm &
Dairy
Voted Best Ice Cream ( Chapel Hill News Rose Award 2004 and
2005). Also named one of the Top 12 Ice Cream Parlors
Nationwide in Saveur Magazine (June/July 2005 issue). Maple View Farm is a family dairy farm located just northwest of
Chapel Hill, and its ice cream shop/Country Store is a destination
outing for everyone! Enjoy delicious freshly made ice cream while
lounging on rocking chairs on the shop's front porch, which looks out
over a vista of rolling countryside and the Maple View Farm. Check
their website for a calendar of Maple
View weekly specials and events. During the holidays try the
yummy egg nog, and the pumpkin ice cream!
The Country Store also sells milk, cream, and other fresh dairy products
year round. Maple View dairy products do not contain
hormones. (You can also purchase their milk products at Harris
Teeter, Whole Foods and Weaver Street Market.)
