Scoops: 

Q: How much is each scoop? 

A: Each scoop is $4. Each comes with a lid. 

Q: How many flavors can I choose? 

A: You can choose as many flavors as you’d like, but we recommend sticking to 3-4 flavors for ease in passing out.  

Q: What is the largest size I can buy?  

A: At this time, the largest size we are able to sell to the public is quarts. Our 3-gallon tubs are available for purchase for $75 to MSU organizations only via our Catering Form. Flavors may be limited based on availability. Quarts and Pints are scooped fresh daily and available in our lobby freezer.

Q: Can I buy 3-gallon tubs wholesale?  

A: No, the Dairy Store does not have a wholesale license and cannot sell 3-gallon tubs in large quantities. Our ice cream cannot be re-sold off campus and tubs are only able to be purchased by MSU affiliated organizations. Tubs MUST be ordered using our order form listed above. 

Q: How can I order a change-over tub?

A: We are no longer able to sell change-over tubs due to allergy concerns. 

Q: What if I want something besides scoops? 

A:  We currently offer are Pints ($6), Quarts ($14), and Ice Cream Sandwiches ($6).

 

Cart Rental:  

Q: How much is the Cart Rental? 

A: The cart rental fee is $100. Individual scoops to fill the cart are $4 each. 

Q: How many scoops does the cart hold? 

A: The cart can hold up to 450 single scoops. 

Q: What is provided with the cart? 

A: We can provide napkins and spoons if requested. We do not provide employees for the cart. Ice cream scoops must be purchased separately. 

Q: How do I know if the cart is available on a certain date? 

A: For inquires about cart rentals, please fill out the catering order request form found above. Catering orders are not considered accepted until a confirmation email is received, which will detail any questions that may arise, such as availability of the cart or times for pickup. Please direct any specific questions or concerns to our catering manager, Taylor, at stehou10@msu.edu. 

Q: How do I transport the cart? 

A: We offer transportation for the cart through MSU UPL at an additional cost of $200. They can deliver the cart to locations within 15 miles of the store, Monday-Friday from 10-3pm. Alternatively, the cart can be pushed short walking distances around campus. For personal transportation that requires traveling longer distances off campus, a trailer with a ramp is REQUIRED. The cart is too heavy to be lifted (250-300lbs) and will not fit in the trunk of a car. 

Q: When do I have to return the cart? 

A: Unless discussed otherwise, the cart needs to be returned the same day before 8pm. If you need an extension, please ask the team member you are communicating with, and they can let you know if it’s possible. 

 

Payment:  

Q: How can I pay for my order? 

A: Unless paying with an MSU account, payments must be made in person. We cannot accept payment via email or phone per university policy. This applies to all orders, even if there is delivery. The Dairy Store does not accept cash or checks. We accept all major credit/debit cards, Apple/Google pay, and Spartan cash. 

 

Pickup:  

Q: When can I pick up my order? 

A: Order pickups can be set for any time the store is open (Tues-Sun 12 to 8). If you need to pick up an order outside normal business hours please email msudairystore@msu.edu 

 

MSU Trailer: 

Q: How do I rent the Dairy Store trailer? 

A: Trailer rentals are no longer available, as our Dairy Store trailer is now permanently located at Tollgate Farm and Education Center in Novi, MI. For more information about the farm and its location, please visit their website
