I scream, you scream, we all scream for Penn State ice cream! A short video following the Berkey Creamery's history and daily operations highlights the contributions of Penn State staff (and cows, of course), from the University's dairy barns through the Creamery production line. Watch how Creamery ice cream is made "from cow to cone."
Penn State University Libraries have announced the release of "Ice Cream U: The story of the nation's most successful collegiate creamery," by Lee Stout.
In "Ice Cream U," Stout concentrates on one of Penn State's most popular destinations as well as the nation's oldest and most successful creamery. Librarian Emeritus Stout, who spent 27 years as Penn State University Archivist, adds his intimate knowledge of Penn State history to a wealth of old and new photos to produce a visually spectacular and interesting book.
Follow the production of the Penn State Berkey Creamery's famous ice cream, from the cow to the cone!
Penn State's Berkey Creamery hand-delivered a total of 120 gallons of three specially named ice cream flavors to Washington, D.C., for presidential inauguration festivities. BaRocky Road, Obama White House and BidenBerry will be scooped for attendees of the 2009 Pennsylvania Inaugural Gala, and potentially to their namesakes themselves, as Barack Obama and Joe Biden make their way around the nation's capital to celebrate at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
Penn State students are invited to visit the Berkey Creamery on Wednesday morning, April 16, between 6 a.m. and 11 a.m., when CN8, the Comcast television network, will broadcast live segments during two of its morning shows. Students who come to the Creamery during those hours may have the chance to be interviewed live on the topic of the Youth Vote.
