Absolutely, hands down the best I've cream I have had outside of Amish country in Ohio.I had the ice cream flight, such a fun packaging idea.?. Salted caramel was the right amount of Carmel flavor and salt. The butter pecan was very cream! The coffee Oreo, of you like coffee ice cream and if you like cookies and cream ice cream, this one is for you! The coffee ice cream has a nice strong coffee flavor but it is not overwhelming. Highly recommend the ones I tried! Also want to mention that they make their waffle cones fresh!They have a large area outside for kids to play and a porch with rocking chairs. Didn't visit that but it looked fun.Loved the history of the farm. Take the time to read it. This family had tragedy strike just after they began bottling their milk and they persevered and have an incredible legacy.The cow of the month is too cute. Shows that they love their animals and look after them well!Parking: Lots of parking.
Why can't businesses post on their website when they are closed. This would help travelers.

Holy cow... Everything I have ever gotten from here is fantastic. They must literally have holy cows! They have the best ice cream I have ever had, and have unique seasonal flavors as well... so creamy and delicious. They have unique cheeses too, that u can't find anywhere else. Then there are their homemade pies... Their egg nog and pecan pie is dynamite. Even their hot dogs are amazing. I don't leave many reviews for places bc I am not usually impressed, but I am so impressed... I had to leave one here. Love u guys!

According to friends we just "could not" pass through Blackstone without stopping here, and it turned out to be just the recommendation we needed to help shine some light on our otherwise gloomy day.Their team was polite, patient, and proud to allow us to savor the samples of the flavors they've perfected so far. Though Banana Pudding was a close contender, my mother-in-law ultimately picked Coffee Oreo, while I went with a scoop of Butter Pecan.My wife and her pop enjoyed their milkshakes and sipped them down so fast that I was surprised they didn't get brain freeze. Then again, her pop also got a speeding ticket 20 minutes later. So, he probably just needs to slow down in general.

We found Richlands Creamery this past Saturday with our grandkids. We found out they have a large pumpkin patch, so thought what a great idea for the kids for get pumpkins for Halloween with an ice cream treat on the side. What a great family friendly place this is!!!. Affordable pumpkins and lots of activities for the kids (hay ride, corn maze, playgrounds, farm animals to pet, etc.). The staff is friendly and customer service is top notch and the ice cream is awesome. We will make this our family go-to from now on for pumpkins in fall and great ice cream all the time. I will share this gem with our family and friends as no one should miss out on this great place.

An unwelcome feeling:I am not sure if I can chalk this up to just an individual employee or the business as a whole. It’s been a while since I felt so unwelcome in a place. I traveled an hour with my wife and 3 year old daughter. Just looking to spend a nice Saturday with them and get some fresh ice cream and shakes. We’ve always passed this place on the way to Martinsville for Christmas and I always said I would take my family one day. Well today was the day and it was not a good one. We get there and another customer is heading out the door and just brushes by me like I didn’t exist, no excuse me or anything. I didn’t think too much about it until I got to the counter. I wasn’t greeted in any way. The employee was a young lady probably in high school or freshly graduated. She barely bothered to part her mouth to say a few words to me. I asked about the dairy and how we could probably walk around and all she said was “You can’t walk around the dairy” No other explanation or anything. Didn’t tell me if there were any activities or anything else. She was very short and cold in her response. When she looked at me, it felt like she stared at me. Almost like she was looking through me. I could tell she wanted absolutely nothing to do with me. I really try not to play the race card, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that we just didn’t belong there. I walked outside to let my kid play on the playground and looked at my wife. She felt the same thing and she just wanted to leave. My kid was really excited too. She thought she was going to see some animals and get ice cream. Her heart was broken because we had to go, and that probably pissed us off the most. Just imagine having a talk with a 3 year old about how you can be treated differently because of the way you look. I really hope that wasn’t the case and it was just a moody/lazy teenager. However, I just can’t shake the feeling I had.

In my opinion this place is very nice, clean just a great place to take your family for ice cream. Mostly affordable. They give giant scoops. It's perfect.

We had a great time at the pumpkin patch. Everyone was so friendly and knowledgeable. Loved all the animals. ♥️
Great ice cream and a nice little place!! Worth the drive to see farm to table before your eyes!

xcellent ice cream and an affordable cost. We drive through here once a year. We are never disappointed. Ice cream is creamy and has great natural flavoring and homemade waffle cones. I got 2 scoop strawberry ice cream and honey zinger. Honey Zinger was surprisingly excellent! Strawberry ice had a good amount of strawberry chunks. The place is clean and tidy. Welcoming staff. They also had tee shirts, local honey,eggs, and much more!

Richlands Dairy has always been amazing but this past weekend they went above and beyond. They specially made me a flavor of ice cream that they are discontinuing. it was a very special kind gesture that made my my whole month. AND it wasn't just one half gallon.....they made me two!!! they were all so kind and I'll go back over and over!!!!

Ice cream was delicious! We sampled several flavors and ended up choosing the honey zinger. Love the pictures and history posted around the place.

The ice cream was yummy, but not worth standing in line if they’re super busy. Sandwich side is mediocre and takes a long time. We ordered two sandwiches, one on a croissant and one with white bread. The one with white bread had two slices of bread ?. The croissant was only 1/2 a croissant, not a whole croissant cut in half ?. I love supporting local; we just haven’t had a great experience on any visit.
