Dairy Market traces its local roots to 1912 with the formation of the Monticello Ice Cream Company, which purchased cream and other raw materials from the Colthurst Farm on Barracks Road. In those days ice cream was delivered throughout the city on a horse and buggy. By the 1930’s the company had grown to produce milk, butter and cheese and was renamed Monticello Dairy, Inc. In 1936 famed local ar

chitect Elmer Burruss was commissioned to design and construct the historic Monticello Dairy building which became an iconic community gathering place – popular with locals for its ice cream parlor and event room. Dairy Market will build on this iconic local brand and continue the farm to table tradition begun in the early days of the facility.

P.S. We love Matty Metcalfe ! We caught this moment of him strumming between sets the last time he played at Dairy Market. If you haven’t had a chance to hear him live, check out his website to see where he’s performing around town.
