The Maryland Department of Agriculture has kicked off the 2024 Maryland’s Best Ice Cream Trail with new additions and prizes. The Ice Cream Trail began 12 years ago to promote Maryland’s dairy industry.
The 2024 Ice Cream Trail features 12 on-farm creameries across Maryland that produce and sell their own ice cream. The trail stretches over 145 miles from Washington County to Kent County.
Ice Cream Trailblazers can snap a photo at each creamery and email them to icecream.trail1@maryland.gov or tag @mdsbest on Instagram for a chance to win a limited-edition ice cream cone squishy.
“It’s exciting to see the return of the Maryland’s Best ice cream trail for the 2024 summer season,” said Maryland Department of Agriculture Secretary Kevin Atticks. “On-farm creameries allow dairy farms to be more profitable – and it’s delicious! All Marylanders should take the time to visit one of the twelve stops.”
The 2024 Ice Cream Trail includes:
Prigel Family Creamery in Baltimore County
Deliteful Dairy in Washington County
Happy Cow Creamery in Frederick County
Moo Cow Creamery in Frederick County
South Mountain Creamery in Frederick County
Rocky Point Creamery in Frederick County
Broom’s Bloom Dairy in Harford County
Lockbriar Farms in Kent County
Keyes Creamery in Harford County

All visitors who submit their visits to all 12 locations will receive a “2024 Maryland’s Best Ice Cream Trailblazer” certificate and one winner will receive a $50 gift certificate to an on-farm creamery of their choice, a copy of the children’s book “Tales of the Dairy Godmother: Chuck’s Ice Cream Wish,” and the 2024 Maryland’s Best Ice Cream Champion Trailblazer trophy.
