Ice cream has its fair share of myths surrounding its creation, according to PBS.

Who knew such a simple treat could cause such a BIG controversy?

Hello Nelson’s Nation! The weather is warming (or it will soon), the flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping and ice cream season is just around the corner!

Yesterday I ran out to the local convenience store for a quick lunch. I'm on a January diet so I opted for a "Medium" container of soup.

Before becoming involved in an ice cream manufacturing business, I had little reason to pay attention to, much less to follow the price of cream and butter. My limited understanding was that while there were fluctuations in price, there was generally a range that held pretty true year in and year out.

We sometimes hear that Nelson’s Dutch Farms Ice Cream is “expensive”.

Welcome to the new web site and what we hope will be a long and delicious relationship.

Nelson's is the best ice cream in the Philadelphia market

Growing up in the 1950’s, vacations involved a long drive from Philadelphia…Mt Airy to be exact…in our family's non-air conditioned 1939 Ford to visit my Nana. She still lived in my Dad’s non-air conditioned birth home in South Lancaster, MA - a very small town located between Boston and Worcester. There were no highways so it was a long and exhausting trip on the back roads across the countryside.
