Destination Ice Cream

By Courtney Hoppe

Monday, August 1, 2011

Strawberry ice cream from Sandwich Creamery is served at the Corner House Inn in picturesque Center Sandwich. Photo by Susan Laughlin.

Here's something to scream about: a collection of scoop shops and farms that serve ice cream made onsite with fresh, local ingredients. Go to nhdairypromo.org for an ice cream trail of more shops using milk or cream from Granite State cows.
