Throughout the time we were there we had great service and conversation with staff and other patrons.We ordered food and ice cream and nothing disappointed, it was all yummy, with good portions for the price!

“Went here with my family and it was great! It took a bit for the food to get here but it was SO yummy! I got a cheeseburger with bacon and I could tell it was nice and fresh. The burger buns were soft and the patties were flavorful! After we had our lunch, we got our ice cream. I got a Minnie Mouse Sundae and it was delicious! You can choose which ice cream flavor you want with it, and in my opinion I think oreo is the best! There were crunchy and sweet oreo chunks that were very good! And the view of the farm was VERY pretty, The farm was huge! It was nice enjoying a nice meal with a nice setting. I definitely recommend John George Farm and Ice Cream Shop. It's a perfect place to go for lunch and ice cream!“
