Rocky Point Creamery For those who enjoy the simpler pleasures
in life—fresh air, green pastures, and homemade ice cream—Rocky Point Creamery is closer than you think. Situated in historic Tuscarora alongside the scenic Potomac River, Rocky Point Creamery does a whole lot more than make ice cream. Owner Chuck Fry and his wife Paula operate the business on farmland that has been in their family since 1883. With hundreds of cows on 1,500 acres, this local dairy has been serving the community for generations. The Frys opened their ice cream shop five years ago as a means
of sustainability. By using milk from their own cows, the good folks at Rocky Point are able to
make some of the freshest ice cream around. The Frys never compromise on sourcing locally grown ingredients. In addition to their old-fashioned treats, Rocky Point offers 100 percent natural, farm-raised beef. Come taste the difference for yourself as you stroll through beautiful Maryland countryside while nibbling on a banana split or sipping a delicious milkshake! 4323A Tuscarora Road Tuscarora 21790 301-874-5005 rockypointcreamery.com
