  • Ever want to meet the adorably precious cows that help make your ice cream? Chaney’s Dairy Barn is a real working family-owned dairy farm that also happens to make the best ice cream in Kentucky according to USA Today’s “The USA’s Best Ice Cream: Top Parlors in 50 States.”  Anyone with a sweet tooth (or a love for animals) will have a blast taking a tour of the expansive farms, and tasting fun flavors such as “Cookie MOOnster” and “Mocha Moo.” Tourists and locals alike have been coming back for more since the farm started to produce their delicious ice cream in 2003, and also come 'round to attend the fun events such as live musical performances and seaonal festivals, scheduled all year long.
