Cherry Farm Creamery
Amanda Banta said: With dozens of flavors of hard and soft ice cream, frozen yogurt and sorbet there is something for everyone at Cherry Farm Creamery. Cashew Turtle, Kahlua Chip, Ginger and Salted Caramel Heath are just some of the options available regularly while the shop also has seasonal specials year-round.
If you feel like sharing with your family, order the Pig's Trough sundae, a 12 scooper with plenty of toppings and whipped cream. Unlike the pig, you can use your spoons on this one!

DownRiver Ice Cream
North of Boston is DownRiver Ice Cream, which prides itself on using high quality local ingredients to make its ice cream. The shop's flavors are as creative as their names, such A River Runs Through It (chocolate ice cream with caramel), Kung Fu Grasshopper (Oreo cookies mixed into mint ice cream), and the Willy Wonka Explosion (vanilla with a variety of favorite candies mixed in). DownRiver is an environmentally friendly store, serving its frozen creations in containers that can be composted, recycled or eaten.
