What to know before you visit

Although visiting JB's Barnyard is a fun and unique experience, we want to be very transparent with you about what you can expect before you arrive!
 

• We have very limited hours at JB's Barnyard simply because this is also our home! Although we have ambitions to own a farm one day that is open 7 days a week, our space is too small for that at this time. Jared and Briley, the founders of JB's Barnyard, are so excited to share their ice cream and cows with you during the following hours:

​

JB's Barnyard store hours:

September - April
Wednesdays 4:00pm - 7:00pm
Saturdays 9:00am - 12:00pm

​

May - August

Wednesdays 4:00pm - 7:00pm

Fridays 12:00pm - 7:00pm

Saturdays 9:00am - 12:00pm

​(On Saturday August 16th open from 12:00pm - 7:00pm)

​

• All ice cream is prepackaged. If your order online, we need three days to fulfill your order. Our ice cream shop is not a traditional scoop shop. Our ice cream is sold as a grab and go style. We typically have over 20 flavors of prepackaged ice cream available to purchase at the JB's store, so you do not have to order online ahead of time! If you would like to ensure we have the flavor you desire, preorder your ice cream online at least three days before you arrive!

​

• Our barn is a working cattle barn. Our cows will be inside the barn in their stall when you arrive. This means that when our cows POOP and PEE, they will do so inside their stall. Although our staff will immediately clean up after our cows, it will SMELL like cow manure in our barn. Please remember we are offering you an authentic experience to visit our cows. We will provide hand sanitizer on site.

• Guests may gently pet, take pictures with, and feed the cows with food available for purchase at JB's Barnyard. Guests will not be permitted to enter past the fence into the cow's stall. Guests must remain standing on the outside of the fence at all times.

• Guests are only permitted to roam the grounds near our store. Please respect these guidelines, as this is our personal residence. Jared and Briley own a small 3 acre plot of land, which includes their home, the JB's store, and their production facility. When you arrive, you will see a blue house with a blue barn. Please park in the designated spots near the blue barn. Please make your way inside the blue barn to purchase your ice cream and meet our cows. Feel free to enjoy your ice cream at the table and chairs we have inside our store, outside on the benches, or take your ice cream home with you to enjoy later on!

• We do not package or scoop any product inside our cattle barn. All of our manufacturing and packaging takes place in our big white barn, which houses a 1,500 sq foot state inspected commercial kitchen. Therefore, we will not be able to scoop any product on site. All ice cream will be prepackaged prior to being placed in our store. Tours of our manufacturing facility can be scheduled during a private event or group tour.
