Did you know that it takes an average of 50 licks to finish one scoop of ice cream, and that there are over 150 locally made ice cream shops in Massachusetts?
In part with long days at the beach, and exciting road trips full of new discoveries, summer is a season for ice cream — and no matter where you are in Massachusetts, you can always find a tasty, locally made frozen treat nearby.
Here are three fantastic spots that we recently featured in a video series:
Mt. Tom’s Homemade Ice Cream, Easthampton, MA
True to their old-fashioned roots, Mt. Tom’s crafts all of their ice cream in the back room kitchen each day. The creamery also stocks more than 235 candy jars, as well as handmade chocolates. You can find driving directions to Mt. Tom’s here. You can also keep up with Mt. Tom’s on Facebook and Twitter.
Kimball Farm, Westford, MA
