Zoe's Ice Cream Barn

Zoe's Ice Cream Barn sits on State Route 55 in the heart of Lagrangeville, NY, offering a true farm‑to‑cone experience. Visitors can watch fresh dairy turn into silky ice cream through a large observation window that looks onto the Hudson Valley Fresh Dairy vats. Founder Katie Ferris, a CIA‑trained pastry chef, leads a team that crafts daily‑changing flavors such as Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry Basil, Coffee Cookie Dough, and seasonal specials like Rum Raisin and Peach. The barn’s interior blends reclaimed wood, vintage farm tools, and a playful Farmall tractor display, creating a welcoming space for families, couples, and ice‑cream enthusiasts. Kids love the open‑air seating area and the chance to peek at the dairy process, while adults can relax on the porch and enjoy a handcrafted shake of the month. Zoe's also offers custom cakes for birthdays and weddings, and a nationwide shipping service for those who want a taste of the Hudson Valley at home. Prices sit at a moderate €€ level, reflecting the quality of locally sourced dairy and fruit. The barn is part of the Dutchess County community, supporting nearby farms and the regional chamber of commerce. Ample parking, free Wi‑Fi, and a friendly staff make every visit feel like a summer picnic in the countryside.
