Sanctuary Dairy Farm Ice Cream

We were out hiking and decided to stop for ice cream in the area. Everything we tried definitely hit the spot on a hot day. Beware the sizes are very large. I ordered one scoop and it was about 2.5 scoops so I'm glad I didn't order any bigger. There are donkeys and lots of things for kids to play on/with.

Decent food and great ice cream.

They have a large enclosed outdoor play area with a sandbox, toys, balls and play houses for kids.

They have goats and donkeys and sheep that kids can pet and feed.

Lots of outdoor seating.

Outdoor ice cream stand - Ice cream was so delicious, and not too sweet. Reasonably priced and they give you large portions. I got the maple whiskey and loved it. Plenty of outdoor seating, and some outdoor games/activities for kids. Animals as well to watch. There was a line, but it moved pretty fast, and service was quick.

This was a first visit for us but the place came well recommended by others living in the area. Not only can you buy delicious local ice cream, your kids can play safely on the lawn. In season the place offers a petting zoo to help keep the little ones entertained. The ice cream choices are wide enough to satisfy almost any ice cream addict. I enjoyed a maple maple caramel and a chocolate chocolate fudge double scoop, more than I needed but delicious. We'll be back on a hot evening, no doubt!

Found this place while exploring New Hampshire. They have a great selection of ice cream to pick from with a very good price. The ice cream was fantastic, only wish I could have tried more flavors.

Absolutely amazing!!!!!!
Fresh icecream, locally made. Enjoy sitting on the chairs while the kids play in the playground. A true farm feel while enjoying some good ice cream !

Extremely tasty ice cream. The location is beautiful and we had such a great time. Really big portions for the price, and the service was great. We got the maple Creme which, wow, was so so freaking good. Not overly sweet, perfect maple flavor. There were adorable goats, a playground and huge yard for the kid to run around 10/10. Can’t wait to go back.

Amazing! I had the maple whiskey ice cream in a waffle cone. I could taste both the maple and the whiskey. My wife bought three pints after enjoying her ice cream. The goats and donkeys were cute, and my daughter and I played tether ball for a few rounds before we left.

I grew up in the area but have lived out of state for 20+ years.
My kids and I were visiting recently--- This was their favorite spot for ice cream. We will proudly sport the tie-dye hoodies in Utah. Best ice cream, lovely staff.....and donkeys! ❤

Best ice cream around! Non-dairy and fruit sorbet for those with allergens. Awesome rotation of flavors, some adult themed like rum raisin and maple whiskey that are worth a try! Pints available for purchase. Great for kids, plenty of play area and donkeys and sheep to see. Great place!!

Creamy delicious ice cream with a great view. It's a small family business on a farm. They have picnic tables with a view of an amazing sunset. They also have a farm stand that's open year round selling milk, eggs, vegetables etc.

Great food, amazing ice cream, helpful employees. Can't really ask for more! The donuts they offer on the weekends are absolutely perfect with a cup of coffee.

Great ice cream super creamy and delicious. Have been going here 10+ years and ice cream is spot on every time. Great place to run around and hang out. Be careful of the donkeys because sometimes when your eating the lick your hair! Fruit ice creams are great high quality pints are great to buy for when you don't want to go out. Step above the rest!

Beautiful views, but I couldn't find the trails. We were in a bit of a rush, but we will definitely ask next time we come. The ice cream was delicious, and you can tell they really care about their animals and children (they have plenty of things for them to play with/on).

If you don't enjoy kids, maybe avoid this place. The ice cream was 5/5. The price is good, four bucks for an ice cream.Absolutely delicious. There are donkeys here that stand near the fence to pet. There are baby animals. Dog friendly. Quite a few tables to sit at with umbrellas.

Lots. Of. Children.

During our visit it was extremely loud, they have a big fenced in area with tables and lots of toys and activities for kids to play on.

Aside from the screaming, it was perfect.

Truly the best ice cream I’ve ever had.
A great place for families with children—a play area and extremely happy, protected, and relaxed animals to see and pet!

The ice cream is fantastic, farm stand style, staff was awesome.
In the top 5 ice cream places I have been to in my life. Been travelling and took stuff like this for granted, this place is a gem.

Great icecream with dairyfree options in a very family friendly place!

Never a dull moment here! And always great ice cream. Salted Caramel Crunch. Mmmmmmmm

A favorite of locals & tourists alike. Adorable petting zoo, play area for small children, lots of outdoor tables & the main attraction: Ice Cream! There's an amazing story behind this little business that I suggest everyone check out. It's pretty incredible. Being a lifelong resident of the area, I love supporting small local businesses & Sanctuary Farm is one I will always support & celebrate. They have a fabulous climate controlled "farm stand" (which is actually more of a tiny store) that sells many, many locally made & grown & manufactured goods, everything from local beef to honey to handmade soap. I can't say enough positive remarks. All I can say is if you're CONSIDERING going here for an ice cream treat on a hot summer day, please don't give it another thought --- JUST GO. It's freaking awesome.
