Applegate Farm has grown to be one of the largest retail outlets for ice
cream on the East Coast. In 1980, Mrs. Betty Vhay became the new owner
of Applegate Farm. In an effort to oversee all aspects of the business
the Vhay family moved into the original farmhouse. Mrs. Vhay became Mrs.
Wayne Niles in 1991 and eventually transferred ownership to her nephew
and his wife Mr. and Mrs. Jason Street. Working together, the entire
family contributes to maintaining the century-old tradition of the best
homemade ice cream and sweet treats in the 21st century.
