Mayfield Dairy’s dollar ice-cream
If you ever find yourself north of I-85 around Chateau Elan and needed a sugar fix, then head on over to Mayfield Dairy. Although you won’t find any cows grazing (except for a giant cow statue in the middle of the front field), what you will find is a down-to-earth ice-cream parlor where a scoop of ice-cream costs a whopping $1.50. That’s a steal for the creamiest ice-cream around. Ice-cream bars are only $0.50 each.
Mayfield Dairy is a Tennessee company that opened their Braselton, Georgia ice-cream plant in 1997. They have been in business since the 1920s. The Braselton plant has a visitor center and tours are given every half hour. The huge visitor center houses the ice-cream parlor, a gift shop, and a small theater where each tour begins. Tours are given regularly and are free of charge.
Insider tip:
The parlor only offers ice-cream by the scoop, ice-cream bars, and milk products. There are a few tables in the back of the visitor center by the theater where you can sit down and eat. Only cash or checks accepted.

I am visiting our plant in Braselton and a lady just stopped by, having seen your web-site, and wanted to purchase a scoop of Mayfield ice cream for $1.00. Subsequent to her visit, I checked out your web-site. It is really cool and useful. We do however have an update for you. Last year, we increased our prices and now offer a single dip for $1.50 and ice cream bars for $0.50 each. In comparison with other ice cream opportunities, I believe your readers will still find this to be a good value. You may want to come visit and check us out to make sure. Thanks for including us on you site. I hasten to add that we do give plant tours and they are free. Thanks and come visit. Scottie

I ALSO CHECKED OUT YOUR WEBSITE AND THOUGHT I SHOULD POINT OUT THAT MAYFIELD’S BRASELTON, GA PLANT IS A “MILK” PLANT – NOT “ICE CREAM.” OUR ICE CREAM PLANTS ARE LOCATED IN ATHENS, TN, WHERE WE HAVE A VISITOR CENTER, AND BIRMINGHAM, AL (NO VISITOR CENTER). I MUST ADD THAT YOUR WEBSITE IS VERY INTERESTING AND REALLY MADE ME HUNGRY. IF I LIVED IN THE ATLANTA AREA, I WOULD CHECK IT OUT FREQUENTLY FOR GOOD SPOTS TO EAT.
