Next, gather ‘round our S'mores DreamWhip - a divine Vanilla Marshmallow soft serve, swirled with rich chocolate syrup, sprinkled with Graham crackers and finished off with whipped cream. It's a campfire delight, without the campfire! 🔥🍫

Pumpkin lovers, rejoice! Our Pumpkin Spice DreamWhip is here - a delightful pumpkin spice soft serve, topped with crunchy Graham crackers and whipped cream. It's fall in a cup, y'all! 🎃🍦

Last, but not the least, bite into the crispness of fall with our Caramel Green Apple DreamWhip - a refreshing green apple soft serve, generously drizzled with luscious caramel sauce. An apple a day keeps the doctor away... especially if it's in a DreamWhip! 🍏🍦

And let's not forget our classic favorites - the tropical Pineapple DreamWhip and the berrylicious Strawberry DreamWhip! 🍍🍓

These mouth-watering delights will be served at our farm stand, alongside other incredible fall treats and fresh produce, until the end of fall.
