Another important national observance this week included "National Blueberry Cheesecake Day," and while its not Memorial Day, both blueberries and cream(cheese) need their due!

Babcock Dairy's Blueberry Swirl is the mood. Treat yourself to our very own rich, Super Premium vanilla ice cream swirled with sweet blueberry goodness, made right here in Madison. The smooth vanilla pairs perfectly with the fruity burst of blueberries, giving you a classic flavor with a fresh, flavorful twist.

Stop on by for a fresh scoop today! It’s like your favorite summer cheesecake, but cooler!
