I am excited to announce the opening of Plasko’s Farm Creamery in Trumbull, CT. Our 4th of July ended on a sweet note with a yummy story destination to Plasko’s Farm Creamery in Trumbull, CT. Plasko’s Farm originated in 1925 by the first generation immigrants from Czechoslovakia, Martin and Mary Plasko. Martin was 16 years old when they arrived in the US, worked on an Oyster boat in Norwalk for about 10 years before saving enough money to buy the land in Trumbull where he and his wife Mary would raise their family.
Plasko’s Farm is one of the oldest working family owned farms located in Trumbull, CT. The farm grows and sells seasonal produce, and plants. Plasko’s Country Store has an indoor bakery and ice cream bar and offers a variety of freshly baked goods, including their famous apple cider donuts, assorted pies, scones and artisan breads.
The store also sells homemade pesto, jams, butters and fresh apple cider.The farm was continued by the next generation, John and Pauline Plasko. They established the 8-acre farm on Daniels Farm Road in 1952, as well as 20 acres of additional farmland.
In 1997, John and Pauline Plasko, along with the third generation, John Plasko Jr., rebuilt and expanded the farm to not only its original purpose of farming sweet corn and other produce, but also to include a full nursery, country store, bakery and now a creamery.
As a Connecticut Blogger, I love to support and promote local businesses. The opening of Plasko’s Farm Creamery and Fourth of July celebration were perfect opportunities to explore this Trumbull gem. It was wonderful to explore the farm, visiting the miniature donkeys on the farm and enjoy some homemade ice cream.
Plasko’s Farm Country Store also carries a variety of delicious treats, including fruit pies, artisan breads, homemade scones and tea breads. Their famous Apple Cider Donuts was voted Best Tasting in CT! The Ice Cream Bar offers a variety of unique flavors like Apple Pie and Gone Fishing.
They currently welcome customers to submit and suggest their favorite flavor or even come up with a unique combo to showcase. Customers are also offered the opportunity to experience how the ice cream is made in their viewing room and it makes for a wonderful memory making moment.
My all time favorite ice cream flavors are Rum Raisin and Maple Walnut so whenever I explore a new ice cream destination, I first look for those two. Plasko’s Farm Creamery carried both so I opted for Rum Raisin this time with a waffle cone and it was delicious.
Our family time at Plasko’s Farm was such a wonderful experience that our family rates Plasko’s Farm 5 Yummy Yes. Our Yummy Story Destination rating goes beyond the delicious homemade ice cream we enjoyed so much. It’s also about Plasko’s Farm story that resonates a lot with Hubby and I as immigrants from Cote D’Ivoire and Barbados to the USA.
It was inspiring to see and experience 92 years of family, faith and perseverance. We left Plasko’s Farm knowing that it won’t be too long before we return and we are looking forward to next time, especially our girls.
