Oh, Walpole Creamery. That stuff is good.

If they raise their own dairy cows, and use their milk to make ice cream they can claim homegrown.

Homemade yes definitely, and it is good stuff i am not trying to diss them, they are the best around. Nothing is growing though so it wouldn't be homegrown right?

Edit: i looked up the definition.

home·grown

/ˌhōmˈɡrōn/

adjective

grown or produced in one's own garden or country.

"a basket of homegrown fruit"

belonging to one's own particular locality or country

So technically the second one would be accurate but i still think the sign should say homemade not homegrown

So my child is home grown? Lol looking at the definition i posted i am thinking it is the second one, about being local.

Friend, it's just ice cream, not a metaphysical dilemma. Enjoy it for what it is, and have a great day.
