America's Best Ice Cream?

We think that this small local dairy makes America's best ice cream. Their ice cream cones are large and reasonably priced. Cones are available at the dairy and at an ice cream truck (seasonal) located at the "General Store" on Rt. 616 near Rt. 122. You can also buy quarts for about $5 at the dairy, and at some local food markets (including Kroger). This is a treat that you won't want to miss when you visit Smith Mountain Lake.

• Homestead Creamery (540-721-2045) $
  Exceptional Ice Cream, Cream-on-the-Top Milk, and Dairy Products
  Franklin County, 7254 BTW Hwy. (on Rt. 122 just north of Rts. 116 & 670), Burnt Chimney, Virginia
