Our community has been through a lot, and we know many of you are still dealing with the aftermath of the flood.
That’s exactly why we’re inviting you to take an evening to step away, take a breath, grab some food, and connect with people in our community.
No agenda. No pressure. Just an opportunity to spend some time with local business owners, community leaders, and neighbors who understand what you’re going through. Come take a break. You deserve it.

We’re always proud of the incredible businesses that call Upshur County home. It’s even more exciting when two local businesses come together to support one another.

There’s something special about enjoying homemade ice cream made right here in Upshur County, now being served by another local favorite. Partnerships like these strengthen our local economy, celebrate our talented entrepreneurs, and remind us what makes our community so special.

When you support one local business, you’re often supporting many more.

🍦 Something Sweet Has Arrived at Fish Hawk Acres! 🍦

Some things just belong together.
Front porches and summer evenings.
Kids with sticky fingers.
Grandparents insisting they only wanted "one little scoop"...
then quietly helping themselves to another bite.

We're excited to introduce a brand-new treat at Fish Hawk Acres!
Beginning today, we're proudly serving Country Roads Premium Ice Cream, handcrafted by A.F. Wendling's right here in Buckhannon.

Even sweeter? Every scoop helps support our local dairy farmers. Country Roads Premium Ice Cream is made with fresh milk and cream sourced from our neighboring farms, creating rich, creamy ice cream that's as local as it is delicious.

🍓 Our opening lineup includes:
• Wild Wonderful Strawberry
• Almost Heaven
• Black Bear Tracks
• Coal Rush
• Mint Chocolate Chip
• Superman
• Vanilla

We'll be hand-dipping scoops Monday through Friday from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, making it the perfect excuse to stop in after lunch, treat the kids, or simply take a well-deserved ice cream break.

Around here, we believe great food starts with great neighbors. That's why we're so excited to partner with a company that shares our commitment to supporting local farms and bringing the very best of West Virginia to your table... or in this case, your cone.

Come by this week, try a scoop (or two!), and help us welcome the newest member of the Fish Hawk Acres family.
We can't wait to hear which flavor becomes your favorite!
