I've been thinking about going to a bunch of ice cream shops and sample their fares. Maybe 10 of them.

Looking to see if there are any ice cream lovers out there that would like to go on a mini-cruise to ice cream shops. I mentioned this idea to Joaquin and he said he had collected a list of ice cream places.

If there is any interest, we will put together an 'ice cream cruise'.

Works for us. A Sunday is best for us.

 

Sounds like a full belly of fun. I hope Tulmeadow Farm in Simsbury is on the list. Not for the lactose intolerant.

 

We would be in. Have two places down here Salem Farms Buttonwood Farms in Preston, Scotties in Colchester, and Fish Family Farm in Bolton.

http://www.fishfamilyfarm.com/

All these places make their own ice cream. Scotties is custard ice cream and is awesome besides a great food stand.

 

You scream, I scream, we all scream for...

Sounds interesting...

 

I'm just subscribing to this thread to see where it goes (and when it goes) ...

 

May I suggest including "Rich Farms" in Oxford on 67.
They make their own there too. And it is rich.
The "kiddie size" is ample, and even their "small" is large!

 

I have to agree Rich Farms is a must for any ice cream lover.

 

Yes, Tulmeadow Dairy Farms is on the list as well as: Collins Creamery in Enfield, UCONN Dairy Bar in Storrs, October Farms in Simsbury, J. Foster Ice Cream in SImsbury, and Old Lyme Ice Cream Shoppe and Cafe in Old Lyme.

 

Sure and then we can add Peaches "N Cream in Lichfield. Lets see how this cruise gets set as we may need the whole day to go around the state. East to West or West to East.

 

I'm in China now..............OH the thought of all that ice cream!!!!!!!!!!
Hope this is after I get back.

 

Unfortunately, some ice cream shops will not make the cut due to time and belly constraints.

We will be working to making everything 'fit'.

Particulars will be forth-coming as they are developed.

Mentioned this to Jody, based on her reaction we're in!

 

Mary Lou is VERY interested in this.

 

May have to come up from NY for this,
place is awesome, it's a mandatory stop when I travel back to NY from Lime Rock ALMS race !

 

Joaquin and I finalized the ice cream run over breakfast this morning ( guess where ).

2. At 10:30 am we will meet at Shady Glen, 840 Middle Tpke E, Manchester, CT 06040

3. We will go to 6 different towns and anticipate the run to end around 3 pm.

Those that said they prefer to go 8/21 are not on the list and should let me know if you can go 8/14. If any new people want to get in please let me know.

Either one for us, but maybe plan the 14th and save the 21st for a rain date. Whatever is decided, we'll be enjoying lot's of ice cream.
