The Orange Elephant Ice cream Parlour The Orange Elephant Ice cream Parlour and Drive Thru Rob and Helen Taverner are reviving the old Devonshire Milking Cow on the farm as a milking breed.

Based just outside Exeter, why not come down and enjoy ice cream that has been made using modern methods but local sourced and tradition Devon ingredients, including milk from our famous Orange Elephants. Nicknamed Orange Elephants due to their distinctive ears, long noses and rusted coloured coats, over the course of the twentieth century they were just a beef breed. But their rich and creamy milk makes our incredible Orange Elephant Ice Cream that bit special. We are proud to be one of the only working farms to milk the Orange elephant still and the ice cream the milk produced must be tried... and the flavours are changing all the time too! Open Friday to Sunday during term time, and severn days a week in the School holidays. The Drive Thru and Elephant Barn is the place for buying ice cream and seating. Toilets are available in the Elephant barn. The Summer Meadow is also open for the kids to enjoy, with play equipment for the under 12s, sandpits, animals to see, and benches to sit down on.
