About Us
Peaceful Meadows Farm was established in 1920 in Whitman, Massachusetts.
The home was built in the late 1700’s. The barns were first constructed around 1929. Milk, cream and other dairy products were produced and processed on the farm and delivered by horse and wagon to customers homes.
Fire caused extensive damage to the barns in 1934. Fortunately the herd was safe. The barns were rebuilt and modernized with automatic milking machines. Home delivery was expanded to all the area towns when a fleet of Divco milk trucks was added.
In 1962 the ice cream stand opened and was well received. The ice cream was made with the finest, freshest ingredients available.
In 1970 there was a devastating fire – all the barns were destroyed and 28 cows perished. The support of community, friends and neighbors made it possible to rebuild In 1974 the farm and dairy divisions and all real estate were purchased by William and Marlene Hogg and combined with Peaceful Meadows Ice Cream corporation.
The ice cream business flourished, the herd was registered holsteins, and three more ice cream stands have opened since 1977.
While technology has helped streamline the production and processing, quality has not been sacrificed.
