If Maria can traverse around the hills singing "The hills are alive with the Sound of Music"..That's how I felt while eating the ice-cream from this creamery, enjoying the view from a short hill, looking down onto the barn, the creamery, and slurping peach ice-cream. YUmm!!! This is a called pure bliss. Find your way to this place on a nice summer afternoon. There are assortment of ice-cream flavors to try- Black raspberry, coconut joy, mocha chip, Red and white blueberry, peach, chocolate, orange pineapple and many more. They also sell farm milk, yogurt and flavored yogurt such as mango, strawberry, blueberry yogurt. They also have assortment of cheeses. At 1:30 PM to 4:00 PM, the farm cows are milked. You won't find any farmer, bending down milking the merry cow..No...the whole process is automated. The cows are lined up. Around 14 at a time, there are suction cups that are fitted onto their udders and the machine starts and thick milk flows in transparent tubes. Quite a spectacle! Take your kids to this creamery and watch the milking. You can also take a walk across the creamery to a barn with calves and chicks. If you are around there around 4 PM, the calves are given bottled milk and you can watch that. There is also a hen coop and chicks and eggs in an incubator. Near the playground there is a short hill and if you walk over it, you suddenly find a small pond with fishes and ducks. Quite a retreat. Lovely summer day...so make the most of it.
I found SMC when my daughter and I visited the Baltimore Farmers market. I am happy to say they deliver fresh fruit and vegetables and half and half to my home every week. Their service is always prompt and my deliveries have always been correct. I don't have alot of time to shop and SMC helps keep my healthy diet right on tra k!
We get delivery and it is fantastic! Great service, excellent dairy, meats, and produce! If you are in the delivery area we can't recommend them enough!
Nice variety of ice cream. All ice cream made in house. Very good. Nice menu selection. This is a working dairy farm They have a lot of stuff fore young kids to see, touch and experience. Great family place.
Best ice cream I have ever tasted. I had the salted caramel and my husband had the butter pecan. Highly recommend both. Cows are sweet and obviously used to people. Can’t wait to go back and try two more flavors.
Incredible local family owned dairy farm! Clean, environmentally friendly, and a place for kids to actually learn where milk and their favorite ice cream comes from! Take the time to watch the cows get milked, go to the petting barn, maybe even feed a baby cow! Great place for kids with special needs as well as the whole family! Very clean with hand washing stations, friendly staff, and delicious ice cream to end the day! Definitely worth the trip!

Great experience. Took the kids and we all had a great time. Highly recommend for all kids especially those who have never been around farm life. Calf feeding was fun and educational can be a little difficult for younger kids. Calfs are newborn to 2 months. Average newborn calf is 90lbs. Check out those prego mama's about to delivery. You could see them moving which the kids loved.
We visited South Mountain Creamery on a Thursday afternoon at the end of June. Great spot all around. We all got ice cream(strawberry, blueberry cheesecake, black raspberry, coffee and Monocacy Mud). Everyone enjoyed their choices. I personally got the Monocacy Mud and could've used a tad more of the add ins but it was still a great flavor. They have a great playground (had s cool hill of ricks with dozers and dump trucks!) and area with corn hole. By the playground there was a pavilion with several picnic tables. Also in this area, there were goats to pet. The calf barn was the highlight for my daughter. The calves were so sweet and we were able to pet a number of them. We were also able to observe the cows being milked. This would be a great spot to visit more often but we are 2 hrs away. I would definitely go back if we're in the area again. Could easily spend 2‐3 hours there.
Had so much fun visiting the farm and seeing the cows. And then enjoying some yummy ice cream. We made sure to thank the cows on the way out 😋🐄
Very nice place for kids to visit and have fun. Though Cow and Goat are the only animals we saw there but kid are happy to feed them. Visitation is free
