A Sundae with Everything.....................

Including the Kitchen Sink!


http://elmfarm.com/

I was thinking about heading out this weekend to Medina to the Ice Cream Museum at Elm Farm. They are reported to have a sundae that they serve in a stainless steel kitchen sink.
Elm Farms and Daiary / Once upon a Sundae Ice Cream Parlor
1050 Lafayette Road
Medina, OH.

Is anyone interested in going? I was thinking about Saturday early afternoon. If you are interested we can meet up somewhere and drive down. It will be the kids and I going, Wellzy will be out of town!

Anyone up for it? It would be close for the Akron People!!!

I would be if I wasn't 120 miles away. Maybe on Aug 30 we could go there after the Medina Brit show on the square.

In 2nd grade my class when there for a field trip. All I remember is lots of cows & those wonderful Divco Milk trucks. Guess I was a motor head way back then.

I'm glad they've fixed that place up. Around 1990 that place was a British car repair place / junkyard.

You are correct Jason. Wow that was some operation. I know a few folks who dealt with them. Did they just go away or are they still around?

They are still in business, they moved to a different shop on rt. 18 maybe 10 years ago. I've also heard some stories about them. I've only used them a couple times for some standard off the shelf parts for my GT6, nothing too exciting happened, I've never had them do any work for me.

No reason to not go & have one anyway. You can call it an expeditionary fact finding & tasting trip.

I would love to hear the stories, they did the head gasket in my mini this past spring. I have since found someone closer to home for various reasons.
