Hillside Farms Dairy Store




The House (soon to be a Bed and Breakfast)


The Dairy Farm




and a very friendly horse



I can't think of a better place to stop for ice cream after work. Less than a mile off the highway, but worlds away from rush hour, it's simple to see how Hillside Farms got it's name. It's tucked in the side of the hill. The farm has been in operation in the Back Mountain for 125 years, with the Dairy/ice cream store opened since 1977. Right now it's going through some major changes. It's recently changed to a non-profit organization called The Lands at Hillside, and great things are in store.

Your beautiful photos touch my heart - I spent my childhood living on Huntsville Road overlooking Huntsville Dam. My maternal grandmother lived on the top of the hill on Machell ave and my mother graduated from Dallas Boro High in 1944 which is now the Back Mt Library - I attended grade school in the same building.

I moved to Ohio in 1974 and rarely have an opportunity to travel back to my childhood home. Finding your site was like discovering a long lost treasure. Thank You so much!

Well, I haven't yet travelled out of my home country, and so obviously haven't been to Pennsylvania, but I sure love that beauty of a horse!!
