Nestled in the heart of the Finger Lakes
Winner of: "THE BEST ICE CREAM STAND IN UPSTATE NY - Judges Choice
Here at our creamery and duck farm nestled in the green pastures of the Finger Lakes region, you can enjoy your ice cream at the very spot where it is made. Meet our herd of hard-working Ancona ducks, who provide us with the eggs that set our frozen custard apart, and visit with the peacocks, chickens, guinea hens, and all of the other animals that call Spotted Duck home.
Homemade!
Every ingredient, from the crunchy toppings and swirled-in sauces, to the vanilla extract and fruit compote, is made from scratch on our farm. The first customers of the day know this well, as the aroma of our freshly baked cookies and hand-rolled cones wafts around the creamery.
Local Love
With ingredients coming from the greater FLX region and right from our backyard, we are supporting local economies, small businesses, and sustainable practices. Over 95% of our ingredients are certified organic or grown to the same specifications.
We collect uniquely rich eggs from our ducks every day, and fruits grown on-site or from neighbouring farms include blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, black raspberries, apples, pears, mint, and cherries.
Our Team
Sam Solomon
Chief Duck Officer
What came first, the duck, the egg, … or the pizza?
We don’t think Sam would have guessed that any of those would be an integral to his profession when he graduated from Hobart College in 2017, but life can be quite unpredictable. Just before graduating, Sam won a $10,000 grand prize from a prestigious Hobart business competition, and he used that seed money to launch his first business, Pizza Posto.
The Super Scoopers
If you have ever had a summer job at an ice cream shop, you will know that it is not for the weak or weary. This operation would not be possible without our super scooper staff and their commitment to giving the best hospitality to each guest who visits our farm. They are true experts on our frozen custard and the Finger Lakes region.
Patrick Redmond
Duck Farmer
Ducks don’t really like to share their eggs. They have an annoying habit of hiding them in the barn. Fortunately for all of us, Patrick wakes up early every morning with a singular mission: manage the egg hide-and-seek situation.
Alejandro
Resident Peacock
When Alejandro was growing up at the farm, he never expected to have his own cult following. Actually, that’s not true. It’s totally like Alejandro to expect fans. He’s up early each day to showstop visitors and oversee the farm’s happenings with style and grace.
