LOGAN – Visitors to Famous Aggie Ice Cream at Utah State University
can see how ice cream is made in a 45-minute tour that ends with a
taste of the famous dessert. The store and dairy lab are located in
the Nutrition and Food Sciences building at 750 N. 1200 E.
On Saturday, July 1, tours will begin at noon and continue every 45
minutes, with the last tour leaving at 3:45 p.m. Future tours will be
on Saturdays and scheduled depending on demand. People
interested can drop in or call ahead and make a reservation for large
groups. The tour starts with a presentation by Randall Bagley, the
dairy laboratory manager, where he outlines the process of making
ice cream and shows a short video. Next, the group is taken through
the dairy plant to see that process in action. Finally, the tour ends
with an opportunity for customers to redeem their ticket for a cup
of their favorite flavor of ice cream.
“We are excited to start offering these tours again,” said Donald
McMahon, director of the dairy lab and professor of nutrition and
food sciences. “They have been a great event for the community
and an excellent opportunity for us to interact more with people.
The tours allow us to show everyone the research that is being
done and what we are all about, plus it’s just a good tasty treat.”
The cost for the tour is $2 per person. For more information call
