Editorial Review for Richardson's Ice Cream – by Eric Grossman

In Short
After picking up their affordable cones of exceptional, dairy-fresh ice cream, patrons of all ages head around back to greet the dairy farm's cows, sheep and fowl. The neighboring batting cages, miniature golf courses and driving range provide family-friendly activities. Back at the dairy bar, where there's both a take-out window and indoor seating, area high schoolers scoop flavors like "Maine black bear" (raspberry ice cream with chocolate chips and raspberry truffles) and strawberry cheesecake.

User Reviews for Richardson's Ice Cream

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

To the boycott the Richardsons: Do you have a degree in animal science? You do not! I do! Have you ever heard of fat cow disease? Fatty livers in cows? Anybody knows that a lean animal is in far better health than a fat animal, which includes humans! Do you know what ketosis is? Probably not! I know for a fact that these animals are on a specific diet that is handled by a nutritionist. They have a ration that is done for the lactating cows(milking), dry cows (cows that are getting ready to calf that will begin to milk after calving), heifers (little cows that are not ready to milk). They test the feed on a monthly basis to make sure that the rations are balanced. Are you following me yet. You have no clue what you are talking about. So do what you do best and let the Richardsons do there job. Which by the way, is done to maintain superior health for their animals. Any questions?

Take a ride by the pasture across from the Middleton Golf Course any day between 9 and 10 AM and see for yourself! EVERY bone on EVERY cow is protruding! THIS is NOT how healthy animals look! BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT!!!!!!

Pros: NO pro's on this one

Cons: Animal abuse and cruelty at its worst
