Please check their web site for hours and whether they take cash, check or charge. (You have stepped back in time). This is an amazing drive through- walk up, sandwich and ice cream hot spot! Approximately 9 miles away through Amish Country or straight up St. Rd 9, you can eat in the car or under their pavilions. It’s a great chance to see the horse and buggies tied up.
FYI, out of respect for others, we do not photograph people. They might not mind you taking a picture of their horses though.
