Whately, Massachusetts
Hand-churned ice cream, seasonal produce, and pantry staples — all sourced from the land around us. No shortcuts, no preservatives, just real food the way it should be.
Our Story
Nestled along the Connecticut River in Whately, 5J Creamee & Farmstand has been a quiet staple of the valley for generations. What started as a small farm stand selling surplus from the land has grown into a destination for anyone who believes food tastes better when it hasn't traveled far.
Every pint of ice cream is churned on-site using techniques handed down through the family. Every vegetable, every jar, every bundle comes from growers we know by name — or from our own soil. This isn't a philosophy we adopted. It's just how we've always done it.

Seasonal Flavors
What We Offer
Small-batch ice cream made daily with local cream and real ingredients. Flavors change with the seasons — from classic vanilla bean to bold strawberry-rhubarb.
Picked at peak ripeness and on display by the hour. Tomatoes in August, apples in October, sweet corn in July — whatever the land is giving right now.
Artisan preserves, fresh eggs, honey from local hives, maple syrup, and other shelf-stable goods sourced from neighboring farms you can trust.
Our stand is more than a shop — it's a meeting place. School events, farm tours, and seasonal celebrations bring the valley together all summer long.
Strawberry picking, apple harvesting, and hayrides during peak season. Bring the whole family and experience the farm the way it was meant to be.
We open when the land is ready — typically late spring through early fall. Check our social pages or give us a call for current hours and what's in season.
