We're well-rested and ready to roll! Brooklyn Farmacy opens today at noon and we'll be slinging egg creams straight through to next January. We used our time well! We painted, created new sundaes, and we even hired a sweet new soda jerk. On top of that, we've got several special events lined up for the month of February, including a live radio broadcast and Valentines Day Portrait sittings... (see our events section for more details). Stop by and say hello. We missed you and we can't wait to...
See you at the Farm!

the brooklyn farmacy will be closed 
January 17—February 1
open again, februrary 2nd 
(groundhog day)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Really, it’s but a Brief Rest
Because after a year and a half we could really, really use one. And because our ol’ Pops in Florida, he deserves a visit. And because as you may have noticed, our back room could use a good paint over. And then, there is the obvious. The cold winds have begun to blow here in Brooklyn. (Why, we may even get snow soon!) Perhaps, for a brief time, ice cream may not be at the front of everyone’s mind. Like the brown bear, we will all be nestled, quiet, resting. But not for too long!  Because just like the Groundhog, we will emerge on February 2nd! And shadow or no shadow, Farmacy’s doors will be open straight through ‘till the next January. So, bear with us, (pun intended) because when we do open, we’ll have New Ice Cream Flavors! New Sundaes! And New Artisanal Foods made by local and family-owned businesses. And before you know it, we’ll be celebrating Valentine’s DayAnd it will all be fine. You need the rest, and by gosh, so do we! Happy New Year’s Everyone, and please take note... we will be closed from January 17-February 1st. We'll open again on February 2nd, Groundhog Day. See you at the Farm!
