Great Brook Dairy Farm - Carlisle

This is a wonderful farm with absolutely delicious ice cream. It's always a pleasure to take the kids on the trail, stroll around, see some farm animals, and indulge in some fantastic ice cream. Just be prepared for the full experience, which includes the typical farm aromas!

Great ice cream. They are part of the Cabot Coop so the farm benefits from your buying Cabot products( butter, yogurt, cheese). Support the small farmer!

Highly recommend trying their dairy and non dairy ice cream!! And you gotta stop by to say hi to the goats, cows, llamas and sheep!A fun, outdoors, family friendly farm experience! We can easily spend an hour here walking around the pond, getting ice cream, and feeding the animals.Their ice cream stand offers a wide variety of ice cream, sorbet, sherbet desserts and drinks with seating both indoors and outdoors. They take cash and card. Though the park grounds near the farm have limited shade, the farm grounds and picnic tables are covered by trees. Outside on the farm, it's 25 cents (quarters only) for feed for some hoofed animals, and barn tours are free to the public at 1pm, 3pm and 5pm on the weekends. If you're short on time, the TV inside shows a video on the operations of the dairy farm.Parking is a short walk away through Great Brook State Farm on North Road. As it's a state park, there is a parking fee that can be paid via an app or at the kiosk. Parking is $3.

There is no nearby parking available for elderly and disabled individuals, making it difficult for them to access the ice cream barn.

I had a great time at this farm! It felt quite secluded, but the highlight of my visit was seeing a family biking along the trail as I arrived. The hiking paths are nice, surrounded by plenty of woodland. I enjoyed trying several ice cream flavors, including grasshopper, graham central, and purple cow. I definitely want to return with my niece, some bikes, and to check out the farm animals—I'm particularly excited to see the llamas! Just a heads-up: there is a parking fee, which you can pay online via QR code, but it's affordable at just three dollars.
