Moomer's Happy Cows in Traverse City

I mean, really, isn't this the life? How could these cows not be happy?

The masterminds at Moomer's ice cream want you to see just where the milk & cream for their delicious ice cream comes from. This pasture can been seen from the outdoor patio at Moomer's ice cream in Traverse City, Michigan. Neat, eh?

You see, Moomer's runs their very own dairy operation (to which they give tours) right next to the ice cream shop!

This is the sweetest example of farm-to-table agriculture I've ever seen.

P.S. Do you remember when Moomer's won the title "America's Best Ice Cream" from Good Morning America?

Moomers

Did you have some ice cream over the holiday weekend? I did. As a matter of fact, I had "the best ice cream in America."

Good Morning America searched the country for the most delicious ice cream and announced on Saturday that Moomers (our local ice cream shop & dairy in northern Michigan) had won!

We went for a scoop that night to celebrate and this sweet spot in the middle of the rolling hills of Traverse City was packed. The parking lot was part "ice cream line" and part "ice cream eaters." 

Cars roared by and honked their horns in celebration. It was a wonderful night. 

What flavor do I like? Cherries Moobilee (cherry ice cream with fresh cherries & chocolate brownie swirled in).
