Godfrey Run Farm Markey: Berkey Creamery Flavors

Because this week has brought some amazing sunny weather to the Erie area, we decided to head out to Godfrey Run Farm Market to get some delicious Penn State Berkey Creamery Ice Cream. If you haven’t tried it yet and you’re looking for ice cream in the West County area, this weekend might present a great opportunity for you!

On our very recent visit, we were able to choose scoops of Chocolate, WPSU Coffee Break, Strawberry, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Butter Pecan, Peanut Butter Swirl, Vanilla, Alumni Swirl, Scholar’s Chip, and Peachy Paterno!

Let’s talk about the flavors we got.

One flavor we decided to try is the classic Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. It has large chunks of cookie dough and chunks of chocolate swirled throughout. The second flavor we tried was Alumni Swirl. This was quite the combination of yummy. It consists of vanilla ice cream with swiss mocha chips and blueberry swirl. The perfect combination of chocolate goodness paired with fruit. The last flavor we tried on this trip was Peanut Butter Swirl, which is made up of vanilla ice cream with peanut butter swirl. This flavor is definitely for peanut butter lovers, as it had the most amount of peanut butter we have ever experienced in an ice cream such as this! And believe us, that’s a good thing! If you appreciate peanut butter, this is the ice cream for you.

If you’re looking to satisfy your craving for some Berkey Creamery Ice Cream, you can get a kids cup for $3.75, a regular cup for $4.25, and a large cup for $4.75. They serve cups only at this location! Also keep in mind that they will only serve one flavor per cup! They also have pints and quarts available if you’d rather enjoy your ice cream at a later time!

Godfrey Run is open Thursday-Sunday from 12 p.m.-6 p.m. on those days.

Castle Ice Cream and Castle Mini Golf

Getting ice cream at a stand in the summer is great, but pair it with putt putt and we think that’s even better! We recently enjoyed an evening at Castle Ice Cream and Castle Mini Golf in Fairview, PA!

Location:

Castle Ice Cream and Castle Mini Golf are located at 7334 W Lake Rd, Fairview, PA 16415 and 7354 W Lake Rd, Fairview, PA 16415. We wanted to provide both addresses, but please know that these are literally right next to each other and basically connected by the picnic tables and giant dragon (for kids to play on) in between.

Castle Ice Cream

Property Description:

Castle Ice Cream is an ice cream stand that also has a drive through! There is parking available right in front of the stand. There are picnic tables located in between Castle Ice Cream and Castle Mini Golf that you can enjoy your tasty treats at.

Seating Area

There is ample parking, and you can find it in the front of both the ice cream and mini golf locations.

Castle Mini Golf is a putt putt course with 18 holes. It’s landscaped beautifully, with lots of greenery, flowers, and water features. There are many Instagram worthy photo locations throughout the course.

What to Do:

Castle Ice Cream offers several different flavors of ice cream, as well as sundaes, ice cream cookie sandwiches, soft serve, and smoothies. If you’re looking for something less sweet, they do offer hot pretzels, hot dogs, and chips. We really enjoyed our ice cream cones, someone went big this time and got a triple scoop! Their pricing for their ice cream is 1 scoop for $2.60, 2 scoops for $3.50, and 3 scoops for $4.10, in either a cone or a bowl. Soft serve is different, in size small, medium, and large ranging from $2.39-$3.49.

Orange Milk Shake

Castle Mini Golf is a professionally designed 18 hole course that allows you to have a friendly game or a major challenge with anyone you bring. The pricing is $8.00 for adults and $7.00 for kids (ages 5-12). Please note that adult supervision is required for kids to play. A fun fact about pricing is that the 2nd consecutive game of mini golf is 1/2 of a regular priced game! They will give you a pencil and a scorecard, so you can decide whether or not you’d like to keep track.

Who Can Go:

Anyone can enjoy ice cream but there is a step up to get to the window in front to place your order. Also, keep in mind that you can order through the drive through if you would like.

Castle Mini Golf is actually one of the handicap accessible putt putt courses in Erie, PA, giving anyone the ability to enjoy a round of golf. The course gives a challenge to any age; we had people age ranged in our group from toddlers to 60’s. The course was played well by both, and someone even got a hole in one!

We also want to mention that because this course is handicap accessible, it’s also very easy to push a stroller through if you have a little who’s not quite ready to play yet.

Accessible Pathways between holes

Final Thoughts:

We had a lot of fun playing putt putt and getting ice cream in Fairview, PA. The course wasn’t too crowded when we went, but there were consistently people behind us coming in as we played. We would recommend splitting up your group if it’s very large to avoid backing up the course.

If you’re looking for mini golf and ice cream in Fairview, this is the place to be!
