Looking for the perfect sweet stop on your next Hudson Valley adventure? Look no further than The Blue Pig Ice Cream, a beloved small-batch ice cream shop in Croton-on-Hudson, New York.
Located just a short walk from the Croton-Harmon train station, this farm-to-cone creamery has become a local favorite—and a must-visit for anyone exploring the scenic Hudson River towns.
At The Blue Pig, ice cream is more than a dessert—it’s a community experience rooted in sustainability, fresh ingredients, and old-fashioned craftsmanship.
What sets The Blue Pig apart is its commitment to using local, all-natural ingredients in every batch. The shop partners with Hudson Valley farms, including Hudson Valley Fresh, to source fresh cream, milk, and seasonal produce. That means every scoop supports regional agriculture and celebrates the rich bounty of the area.
Ice cream is made in-house daily using a small-batch process, ensuring each flavor is rich, creamy, and packed with real ingredients. Whether you’re a fan of classic vanilla bean or adventurous seasonal blends like lemon basil or honey lavender, there’s something on the menu to satisfy every craving.
The Blue Pig’s menu features a mix of staple favorites and rotating seasonal flavors that highlight the best of what’s fresh. From Hudson Valley strawberry in spring to apple cider sorbet in fall, the flavors are as local as the cows the milk comes from.
There’s also a thoughtful selection of vegan and dairy-free options, made with coconut or oat milk and blended with real fruit, spices, or nut butters. Don’t forget to try the house-made waffle cones and fudge sauces for a true treat-yourself moment.
Founded in 2010 and located in a charming brick storefront on North Riverside Avenue, The Blue Pig is more than just a great ice cream shop—it’s a hub of community life in Croton-on-Hudson. With picnic tables, river views, and friendly staff, it’s the perfect place to cool off after a hike, enjoy dessert with friends, or stop during your Amtrak weekend getaway.
The shop also supports local events and nonprofits, staying true to its mission of sustainability, local sourcing, and giving back.
