Secrets of my favorite soft ice cream

[allena_jane]

I work at Cruze Farm! I serve their ice cream all day long, and let me tell you, you never get tired of it! It’s an amazing treat from a genuinely amazing family farm!

"no idea if treating cows nicer actually results in nicer tasting milk, but id like for that to be true. so lets just go ahead and go with it. i mean whats the worst thats gonna happen? were gonna end up being nice to cows for particular benefit unto us? its an end unto itself right?" extremely good point

I love when Adam goes to restaurants and explores. Like this one and the buddy’s pizza one

Man you know it's legit local quality over quantity farm when the whole family is working and the bosses are slinging ice-cream and hay during their interview. No UTV's rolling around filled with people holding clipboards while the labor breaks their back. Respect

I can attest to the theory that happier cows make better milk:

In my home village, we've got a huge farm of ¬ 1500 Simmental cows, and not only they graze just like the cows and Cruze Farm, we've also added massage station for cows (its like one of those big car wash spinners) that cows can use to their leisure, and the farm lab noticed an increase in quality of milk since it's been introduced.

#NotAnAd is literally the best advertisement a company can get ironically

I think what you said at around 3 minutes about using water buffalo milk for ice cream could be a cool video. They sell it at a lot of indopak grocery stores, at least where I live in Texas. For those asking about how it tastes, it is very creamy, and the milk flavor is stronger, and more pure in a way, in the sense that there isn’t any noticeable external flavor.

Who knew Adam's passion for heterogeneity extended even to milk!

As a U TENN grad of ALMOST 50(!) years, I love your shout-outs to Knoxville and its people and places. Thank You
PS I have NOT had Cruse soft serve, but I have had the ice cream at the Penn State Creamery - Delicious.

Great video Adam, I really like these Niche local deep dives you sometimes do! One thing, I've noticed in alot of your recent videos is the color grade deals with blues really aggressively. The footage of Manjit outside shows this very well in his shirt and the edges of the grain silo. The blues get blocked up and hyper saturated at specific luminance values. Just something you may want to look into if its not intentional.

Listening to Manjit talk about his work is just super satisfying to me for some reason. Makes me wanna throw on some overalls and join him.

A local west african restaurant had the best hot sauce. I asked why and he explained that he was actually growing all of the peppers in his own backyard and making the hot sauce himself. Of course, as the resturaunt grew this became unfeasible, and while the hot sauce made with peppers he bought was still excellent and had a unique flavor to my american pallet, it was really cool to have gotten to try it in the early days when the hand that served it to me was the hand that planted the seed.

My husband and I live in Knoxville and this is our favorite dessert place in the area! I love that you’re supporting local businesses 😊

On a visit to Knoxville to see some friends a couple years ago we stopped at this place and it was so good! My only disappointment was that I was driving too far to feasibly take some home with me without it melting! Great video Adam, love the explorations into how small batch processes can be so good, and how you never talk down about modern processes that do so much to increase food safety, productivity, and stability just because they are 'modern' and not 'old fashioned'.

I absoluetly love Cruze Farms! It's the first time i was ever able to have sweet cream flavor (rather than vanilla which i dont generally like) and weirdly enough, it was the first time i had ever had the flavor combination of lavender and honey, about 7 years back during the summer, and it's now one of my favorite flavors for desserts! Im pretty much equidistance from both their downtown location and their east Knoxville location, so my family tends to go to the house for some ice-cream and relaxing on the giant porch.

[maltzthehunter]

So excited to see Cruze Farm get a well deserved feature! They really are the best. It's so cool to see what really goes into it. I've been buying Jersey cow milk for special occasions for many years.

I had buffalo milk ice cream a few years ago. Not entirely sure which kind of buffalo, but being in Italy I assume it's the same variety they use for buffalo mozzarella. It was amazing, creamy and very, very filling

I love this kind of content, it's a bit off the beaten path of most food youtubers, and gives some interesting context to things we don't really think too much about. Plus shining a light on local industry is always a plus.

I love how knowledgeable Manjit is about the science of what he's doing! You can really tell he cares, and that is reflected in their product. Wonderful
