Bucks County Creamery A Stop On PA's Scooped Ice Cream Trail

BUCKS COUNTY, PA — A Bucks County creamery known for its strawberry, blueberry and peanut butter swirl premium ice creams, is among the 59 stops on this year’s Pennsylvania Ice Cream Trail.

Ely’s Farm Products in Upper Makefield is the only Bucks County location on the Scooped Ice Cream Trail, which brings something unique to the table, from farm-fresh traditions to inventive flavors that celebrate local ingredients.

Ely’s, located at 401 Wood Street in Newtown (Upper Makefield) began making its own premium ice cream and packaging it in 2025. Its menu now includes all the favorites like cookie dough and mint chocolate chip to fresh strawberry swirl and banana.

“Customers who visit Ely’s will enjoy farm-fresh ice cream with all local ingredients at the farm store,” said the owners.

The 2026 Pennsylvania Ice Cream Trail marks a milestone of nine summers of connecting dairy lovers with the farm families who make Pennsylvania's ice cream some of the finest in the country.

This year’s trail features 59 participating PA Preferred creameries. From working dairy farms where visitors can meet the cows to artisan micro creameries crafting bold, rotating flavors, the 2026 lineup offers something for every kind of ice cream adventurer across all corners of the Commonwealth.

“The Ice Cream Trail is economic development you can taste. When a family stops at a creamery in a small Pennsylvania town, they're not just buying a delicious treat. They're supporting a local business, a farm family, and a community,” said Kaitie Burger, Executive Director, PA Tourism Office. “The Shapiro Administration is committed to growing Pennsylvania's tourism and agriculture sectors together, and this trail is a perfect example of what that looks like in action."

With 4,940 dairy farms and 468,000 cows producing 10 billion pounds of milk each year — about 2,501 gallons per cow — Pennsylvania ranks eighth in milk production nationally. Pennsylvania’s dairy industry provides more than 47,000 jobs and supports our state economy to the tune of $11.8 billion annually. Pennsylvania also ranks sixth in number of dairy cows, second in butter production, third in ice cream and Swiss cheese, and fourth in sour cream.
