Great last minute place to stop and tour. Very inexpensive and ya get an ice cream too! My 11 year old enjoyed herself as well as myself. Very educational for sure. If you're in the area, stop in. That is what we did literally.. on the way back from the mountains and seen it on the attraction sign.
Temporarily Closed as of 02/13/2021 but unfortunately they do not have any information posted on any of their public contact site. We took the drive out just to verify since we had previously taken the tour and wanted to share the cool experience with friends who had not. Definitely worth it if they ever resume the tours. Otherwise it's still a scenic area of Tennessee to visit.
Not open for tours yet. Hopefully later in the year. Ice cream is delicious.
9/27/21. My GPS was accurate. I just didn't go up all the way. I wasn't sure where I needed to turn once I arrived at Mayfield but I called the no# listed and the lady told me to come under the overpass (14'2) that connects the buildings and take the right at the end of the chain fence. Then take another right. Press the intercom to receive the code to open the gate. The yard man will give you instructions on what you do next etc. I guess the yardman could sense I was "brand new" to the driving world because they moved the company trailers that were completed out the way. So, it made it easier to back in the spot. I appreciate the assistance gentleman. The wait wasn't long before I was told to move to the door. Probably right at an hour. However, once I got docked. A guy name Cody came out to get my paperwork. One minute thirty-four seconds later, they were unloading the pallets. Eight minutes twenty-two seconds later, Cody was walking back out to give me my paperwork. It was an awesome morning!
Great time with family! Delicious ice cream!! No tours, covid casualty :-(
We stopped for a quick dairy tour and dessert pit stop. Tours include ice cream with paid admission of $4.50 Adults and $3.50 children... tours are on the hour and lasting 45 minutes. The staff we encountered hardly smiled and was not overly friendly... not sure if they were having an off day. (minus the 1 star) otherwise it was worth the stop. Unfortunately no photography is allowed while on tour. On the way out we did encounter a fairly young staff member that went out of her way to say thank you for coming today and come back and see them! Also inquired if we enjoyed the tour and desserts...
They were closed for tours due to COVID-19 but the ice cream shop and gift shop were open. There is a small history display inside, a prelude to the tour. I'd come back for the tour someday. The ice cream was very good and inexpensive.
Mayfield was absolutely incredible because, how often do you get a tour of a milk and ice cream factory. I went in with high hopes and I really enjoyed it. I got to see how milk was packaged and distributed and how ice cream was packaged and made as well. The employees and staff were all very friendly and they were very passionate about their line of work and what they did. I must say I was impressed with the factory and I enjoyed the ice cream at the end of the tour as well.
Great place to see how milk and ice cream is packaged. History of the dairy is interesting. Staff in the gift shop and giving the tour were friendly and knowledgeable. Excellent ice cream afterward. Go on the 10 am tour, then bring your lunch and relax in the great courtyard. :)
