Crescent Ridge History
Local Farm Beginnings
Since 1932, Crescent Ridge Dairy has been delivering small batch milk and quality provisions to families throughout Massachusetts. Ever since Malby Parrish made the first rounds in his trusty 1928 Chevrolet milk truck, folks have been looking forward to seeing the Crescent Ridge Milkman come around the corner each week. We still do today! Want to learn more? Go to www.crescentridge.com!
Opening of the Dairy Bar
In 1968, the Parrish family decided it was time to make summers a little sweeter in their local area. Using surplus milk from the summer herd, the family began crafting their homemade recipe ice cream, which is still in use today. The sweet treats had to have a place to be sold, so the dairy bar was erected and soon became a local name for ice cream.
