The founders shared a love of ice cream, but none was more devoted than Thomas Jefferson. In 1789 he returned from France with his chef—newly trained in making frozen desserts—and a resolve to keep enjoying it. In Philadelphia in 1791, he sent to France for 50 vanilla bean pods, which, he later wrote, are “much used in seasoning ice creams.” He built an ice house at Monticello in 1802. And at Jefferson’s White House that year, Senator Samuel Latham Mitchill recalled eating ice cream in warm pastry—“a curious contrast, as if the ice had just been taken from the oven.”

The process for making ice cream was not self-evident, so Jefferson wrote it down. Here it is, slightly condensed.

• A bowl of ice cream might be the most comforting bad-breakup bed accompaniment, but there's a limit to its soothing properties. For starters, ice cream is loaded with fat, so you’re.

2 bottles of good cream
6 yolks of eggs
1/2 lb. sugar

Mix the yolks & sugar; put the cream on a fire in a casserole, first putting in a stick of Vanilla. When near boiling take it off & pour it gently into the mixture of eggs & sugar. Stir it well. Put it on the fire again stirring it thoroughly with a spoon. When near boiling take it off and strain it thro’ a towel. Put it in the Sabottiere [the canister within an ice pail] then set it in ice an hour before it is to be served. Put into the ice a handful of salt. Put salt on the coverlid of the Sabottiere & cover the whole with ice. Leave it still half a quarter of an hour.

Turn the Sabottiere in the ice 10 minutes; open it from time to time to detach the ice from the sides. Stir it well with the Spatula. Put it in moulds, justling it well down on the knee; then put the mould into the same bucket of ice. Leave it there to the moment of serving it.

Our newest venture came about really because Farmer Pete is darn particular about his ice cream. Especially chocolate. Fed up with his quest for the perfect place with the perfect cone, he decided to set up his very own old-style New England Creamery, right here on the farm.

And as Applecrest has a history of making things from scratch, it's only natural we would want our ice cream to follow suit. After searching far and wide, we finally settled on well-known sweet-tooth purveyor, Richardson Farms…located just a stone's throw from the farm. This wonderful, local institution has a great reputation and is the perfect match, most notably with their eagerness to blend our grown-on-the-farm fruits with their delicious dairy to make an unsurpassed ice cream just for us.

The Applecrest Creamery is housed in the farm's 1804 post-and-beam barn with windows overlooking our beautiful flower garden and acre after acre of apple trees. We look forward to having you join us for a scoop, pie a la mode, or a fresh fruit smoothie.
