Success story

“Hello… I’m going to tell you the story of our farm ice cream.”

We are a family business in Bavaria (Upper Franconia). Our farm has been in the family since 1895. Today, it is run by the fourth generation, and the fifth is already ready to take over.

Selling Farmhouse Ice Cream since
2001

We currently have 180 cows on the farm. And that is also our foundation:

Without our cows, no milk – and without milk, no ice cream.

It all started in 2001.

We came across an advertisement from BAUERNHOF-EIS in the Bavarian agricultural newspaper. We got in touch, attended a demonstration, and were immediately enthusiastic. It was exactly what we wanted to do, but in our own way.

In July 2002, my parents got married and we began our own ice cream production. We had many ideas: ice cream buffets for events, family-sized packs at the farm, deliveries to supermarkets, an ice cream truck for large events, farm festivals, and supplying local inns. Over the years, ice cream production grew steadily and organically.

In 2020, the coronavirus arrived.

We traveled to different locations with our ice cream truck and sold our products there. As demand kept increasing, we decided, in agreement with the police, to open our farm on Sundays. Since 2020, we have also shared our daily life on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. People can follow us from the cowshed all the way to the scoop of ice cream.

The farm has become a true experience.

Since then, around 300 visitors come every Sunday. People enjoy ice cream, pet the cows, and children discover farm life in a playful way, for example by practicing milking on a wooden cow. Between 2021 and 2023, we participated in many markets and started organizing children’s birthday parties at the farm, as well as activities for schools and kindergartens.

The latest developments

Since 2025 – an ice cream vending machine at the farm (100 ml and 500 ml), and deliveries to local cafés.

And we are preparing something big: our “Eisstadl” – with a new production facility and capacity for 90 guests across two floors.

In the end, everything comes down to this:

No farming, no ice cream – no ice cream, no future for farming.

We would never stop producing our farm ice cream, because it is the only way to achieve:

The highest quality – The use of our own milk – 100% natural ingredients
