Maple View Farm Strawberry Ice Cream Iseley Farms Strawberries + Maple View Farm Happy Cows= Strawberry Sweetheart Ice Cream Honey Vanilla Ice Cream Most of you are familiar with our famous strawberry ice cream, a perfect combination of Iseley Farms strawberries and cream from the happy cows at Mapleview Dairy. Through the years we have toyed with the idea of adding another flavor with produce grown on the farm. This past winter the perfect idea just buzzed right into our brainstorming.  How about a flavor that combines the delicate flavors of everything that blooms on the farm?  How about Honey Vanilla?  Iseley Farms honey churned with Mapleview cream is another combination that can’t be beat!  (or BEE-t?) The ice cream is for sale at Iseley Farms from May until October. www.mapleviewfarm.com Iseley Farms Farm Fresh Honey Jane has been raising bees since ­­­­­1988. Our 10 hives produced a record high amount of honey in 2009.     The USDA estimates that insect pollinated plants (fruits, nuts, soybeans and vegetables) account for one third of our diet, and honeybees do approximately 80% of the work (other pollinators like bats, butterflies, moths, bumble bees, and hummingbirds contribute to the other 20%.)   Our wide variety of fruits, vegetables, flowers and grains grown on this farm as well as blooming trees, shrubs and even organic tobacco blooms produce a taste of honey that is unique to our farm.  Why eat local honey?  It is the reliance on this regional flora and its pollens that is at the heart of new studies showing that eating local honey can help prevent allergies caused by the pollens in a particular area.  And because it is all natural raw honey processed without chemical additives, it tastes better!
