Patches Family Creamery, a farm operation located southeast of the City of Lebanon, is a local treat for all ages.
The Creamery celebrated its 10th year of operation just last month. In that time, it’s become a recognizable name and presence among local dairy producers (though it offers more than just dairy, too).
Take a look at some of the Creamery’s treats and attractions—their famous ice cream is a great way to stave off these soaring summer temperatures.

Inside, customers can order their ice cream and sit down to eat it. Part of the processing equipment on the farm can be seen through large glass windows next to the dining area.
The store offers many other items besides ice cream, including butter, eggs, flowers, produce, milk, cheese, and products from other local businesses. The cheese is September Farm Cheese made in Honey Brook in Chester County.
Outside, the farm has a few other attractions for visitors and families. A petting pasture with goats and ponies is situated near the store, and a playground is set up by a large hay cow sculpture.
