On the Farm servers Perrys ice cream, which is very good. There are tons of flavors to choose from and the prices are very reasonable (unlike some nearby places!). The staff are very pleasant. Great place to stop by!
Fast service. Delicious treat! Raspberry with dark chocolate chips!!
Food was good and the outside experience was lovely. Wish the benches werent so splintery but the experience was so nice I can overlook that. The family that operates the establishment has excellent manners and speed of service. Will be coming back for seconds during the summer time.Thanks on the farm!
Nice little ice cream stand, not a over huge menu were you need to take a long time to decide. They have a card were you can get a stamp for every ice cream you buy and get a free one after 10 stamps.
Friendly people but staff seemed very confused. Ordered 2 kids cups and one had maybe 2 spoons of ice cream in it while the other was double the amount. When asked why the same size ice creams were so different nobody could figure out what we were talking about.
I love on the farm, its so nice to eat outside with my puppy. They have a slamming fish fry and cheese fries, my puppy and I love the got dogs, gotta try it if you havnt.
On The Farm has been my childhood summer ice cream shop. My grandfather and I would visit this places every week until it closed again! Ice cream is extremely fresh and delicious. Food is also tasty served quick. Staff is ALWAYS friendly. They serve quick and items are great but wish the prices on everything could go down my a few cents or a dollar.
Very good ice cream their foods not too bad either but their prices are a little too high 40 dollars on a few ice creams is a little too much for me
Great burger. Wonderful people
The place is cute, but over priced!!! I just thought an almost 8$ hamburger would come with fires, nope and the cheese wasn’t real cheese. Super nice staff but I wasn’t impressed and will not be returning.
They were quite kind and VERY generous. This family own business is composed of compassion, empathy and love, not only for their business and each other, but their customers and their families, EVEN DURING the sad loss theyve recently suffered.They Blessed our family during a really rough time as well as my sister-in-laws family who is also struggling. Both our families are so VERY grateful 🙏❤️🙏❤️.Many blessing to all of them.
There were about 15 people there when we went up and got in line. We ordered 4 ice creams to go. Took about 10 minutes. Three soft serve chocolate with cherry dip and one hot fudge sundae. Its basic, nothing outstanding... Its close to the house for a quick ice cream fix!
After years and years of being a loyal customer, I think today was the last time for me. The large chocolate cone that I got was a joke. A complete joke. The ice cream was decent, but my large was the size of a small at most other establishments. It was half the size of a kiddie cone at Martha’s in Lake George. And for $4.50? Wow.
Great prices and selection for Christmas trees! Friendly and helpful staff. All pre-cut trees.
Always good ice cream reasonable prices, clean facilities and people are friendly and very attentive and accommodating
Best ice cream in the area.
I’ve lived in Latham for about 5 years now and just discovered this place recently. Very refreshing to find this place because the ice cream is great and so is the food. The burgers are simple but delicious. You can tell the beef is freshly ground and the hotdogs are top quality. Easily our new favorite ice cream spot in the area.
This location has a fun theme with olden farm equipment carefully placed to carry on the theme. They make their own hard ice cream and have tasty soft ice cream. It is a cute location to bring your family and there is ample picnic tables to sit at while you enjoy you special treat.
Service was terrible. We arrived just after 8:30 PM. The grill was off. So we opted for ice cream and a slushie instead. The medium cone was so tiny compared to other ice cream shops. The sundae topping was drizzled on and it was missing nuts and a cherry (wasnt even asked if they were wanted). The slushie was handed to us in a cup that wasnt even 3/4 full and was too sweet to consume. The flurry was made with the wrong ice cream. The service was terrible. We will not be going here again even though it is the closest place for ice cream. Do not waste your time.
Has great fast food. But especially their soft ice cream is fabulous and you get a great amount. Ice been to other places where you pay more money for example a large come but only get a small to medium size.
The ice cream was very good. But the owner I felt was extremely rude, when myself and other patrons were eating their ice cream at the picnic tables outside and she shut all the lights off stating that they were closed.you think she would have left the lights on for her remaining patrons who were eating.
This is my go-to place for Ice Cream. You can deal with the lines at Sonic if you want but youll be much happier going here. There are plenty of options to choose from, my favorite is a flurry with M&Ms.You can also get other food too, if youre looking for some place to have lunch. I can definitely recommend their bacon cheeseburgers. Their onion rings are also pretty good.There is plenty of outdoor seating. Each table has an umbrella, and there is a covered section with multiple tables. Its the perfect place to grab lunch or ice cream on a nice sunny day.Overall, I would highly recommend checking this place out. Especially if you like supporting family-owned and operated restaurants.
Tasty real beef burgers. Also serves veggie burgers. Plenty of seating under umbrellas or tent roof to stay out of sun and rain. Decent prices. Variety if ice cream dishes. Counter pick-up. Burger very tasty and juicy.
Ive been going to On the Farm since my children were babies. Over 25 years❤️.Such a Great Family own business. They all have HUGE❤️❤️❤️S.MANY Blessings to you all.
I really like On the Farm, it’s a place I have been coming to for years. I prefer this spot over Guptills, which is the other local favorite.I mostly like coming here for ice cream, but they have some nice and reasonably priced fast food style meal items.I purchased a kiddie and medium twist on my recent trip, the total was $6.70. I’d say that amount is about average.The ice cream was very creamy and delicious. Even a little bit better than Kurver.There is ample amount of seating outdoors, both covered by awning and out in the sun.Great spot for a frozen treat during the short NY summers!
Always good ice cream, friendly service and generous portions.And they are working very hard at being socially distant and maintaining a safe space!Kudos!
Always great food, great ice cream, great atmosphere. The staff work hard and everybodys 😁😁😁😁😁
We really enjoyed the icecream. The hard icecream is Perrys. They have punch cards. Buy 10 get one free. Also, if you are in the military or were in the service and have i.d. they give a discount.
Food is ok. Beautiful place to bring kids/dog for some ice cream. Many picnic tables to sit. They even give free doggy dish(soft vanilla cup w/ milkbone)
Cool small place to sit down and eat.On the main road but relaxing.Good food also
The best soft ice cream! I drove 90 minutes for this weeks flavor of the week- strawberry!
The people were nice but the ice melted to fast on this 50 the sprinkles were really sweet...if your in the area its most definitely recommended though beautiful view
Ive been looking for a non-corporate ice cream place since we moved our family to Latham, and this place is exactly what I was looking for. Good ice cream, friendly atmosphere, lots of cool tractors and farm implements for the kids to check out.
They dont use gloves when the cook your food. I asked the older blonde about it and she just made a face and gave me attitude. Talk about professionalism. Who knows where her hands have been. Dont want them touching my dinner.
Its close by and kids love it. I got their soft serve choc van twist, it was ok. Always busy when we go there but quick service.
The ice cream is great. It wasnt too sweet. My wife had the banana ice cream and we could see actual banana seeds. Brilliant stuff.
Great food wonderful selection of ice cream and very friendly staff.
Very friendly people and beautiful place to eat ice cream with the kids.
We just got our 3rd Christmas tree there, and stop by in the summer for ice cream. Always great service.
Had ice cream last year. But I enjoy riding by, as the old trike tractor out front is a clear riminder of the one my grandpa use to ride to and from Troy to Grafton everyday at 50 - 60 mph down rte 2 and rte 7 to Troy. . Lol. I just like him but I only drive a case 448 compact garden tractor from my home in Troy to Lou Caprara Billaird Plaza. To give him a helping hand. As he does me.
They ice cream is very rich and creamy. I enjoyed it very much. I will tell all my friends and family.
Great food and friendly staff! Perfect place to get ice cream on a hot day! They have ice cream for dogs, too!!
I love On the Farm. You can always find a table, and I like that there is lawn space for kids to play - not too much pavement, like other local ice cream locations.
Good ice cream, clean and friendly staff
We have visited this icecream stand twice this season. Icecream is very creamy and good. Staff is friendly and efficient. Great service.
Omg its the best place I always go in the summer with my mom dad sisters I went this summer June 2019 ;2018:2017:2016 ; 2015 its the best go if you havent begg your parents for some.
Just got our Christmas tree from there. Beautiful tree and friendly atmosphere. Sixth place we looked and they had the best trees we saw of all of them.
Food good service wasnt up to speed yet but think they will get there
Love this place, they have a huge selection of icecream and other fast food. Great little summer shop.
Nice place. Wasnt too crowded and service was good. Prices arent bad either.
Great homemade fast food - burgers, chicken, grilled cheese and fries with both soft serve and hard ice cream(Perrys).
This is our go-to place with the kids.

On the Farm has the best soft serve ice cream in the area. Highly recommended.
Been going since I was a child. Nice and chill location, great food and lots of ice cream options.
This place is a staple of my childhood, and theyre still at it. Good ice cream, and a bunch of old farm equipment to look at while you eat (or you could sit at a table if thats more your thing).
Great selection of ice cream. Hard and soft. Good burgers too. . .
The ice cream is yummy and they are kid friendly my daughter loves that they have a chalkboard and chalk the people that work their are friendly
Great food, great staff, clean, convenient and a pleasant place to stop for lunch and ice cream.
The best raspberry with chunks of dark chocolate ice cream and the strawberry was equally delicious.

Their food is pretty good but their ice cream is Perrys and not homemade.
