This is one of our favorites from the July Local Love List! Roam the farm before dinner, wander in strawberry and blueberry fields!

You all know we LOVE ice-cream here at UNATION, and this spot has one of the tastiest, yummiest, creamiest ice-cream we’ve ever tried! Plus, the flavors are so unique! The vegan options don’t fall behind, they’re so good. Try the matcha passion fruit coconut, or if that doesn’t sound appealing, get the chocolate and coconut caramel.
