Schopf's Hilltop Dairy
5169 County Rd I

The Hilltop Dairy is a surprise to most. It seems like everyone has a good time spending an hour or so at the Dairy. Besides, who doesn’t like a chance to get some good and FRESH ice cream. Kids of all ages like the dairy.

Take a tour of a real working dairy and learn about the dairy industry at this state-of the-art dairy. You will find the tour both entertaining and interesting for all ages. But expect to pay six bucks for a guided tour but we still recommend it.

You can actually watch your ice cream being made in the processing room, talk about fresh. There are a wide variety of ice cream creations and flavors to choose from. After the ice cream explore the 17-acre corn maze or stop in at the gift shop for a nice selection of Door County products.
