For over half a century, generations of North Carolinians have savored our premium ice cream on NC State’s campus or at the North Carolina State Fair. Howling Cow is made on NC State’s campus in the Department of Food, Bioprocessing, and Nutrition Science’s Feldmeier Dairy Processing Lab in Schaub Hall. Our traditional recipes start with fresh milk and cream that comes from our Raleigh farm, with top-quality ingredients added to create many delicious flavors.
Howling Cow is a tasty way to support the education of tomorrow’s dairy leaders — and our great state.
