Publisher Picks: Local HandCrafted, Consciously Sourced Ice Cream
Ice cream has always been a favorite treat of mine. As a Natural Awakenings publisher, you can imagine I’m extra discerning where my ice cream comes from, too. Here are my tasting trip notes from a fun tour of these local ice creameries.
The Blue Pig: It’s always a tough decision due to their wide variety of delectable flavors, but on my last visit, I chose Honey Vanilla with Lavender—it’s dangerously delicious! And I love that they grow ingredients on their own farm in Vermont.
Carmel Creamery: I couldn’t resist ordering Strawberry Basil. It’s creamy, sweet and refreshing, with such a unique blend of flavors. They also offer pints to go of a wide variety of delicious looking flavors—plus they make ice cream cakes and have soft serve ice cream.

Del’s Roadside: Since I had trouble deciding between two flavors, I ended up getting both—the dreamy Lavender Honey Blueberry and Lemon Poppyseed, which was refreshing and bursting with lemon flavor. I recommend it for a hot summer day.
Zora Dora’s: During my visit, I chose a Hibiscus Mango pop, which turned out to be a perfect complement to the sunny, muggy 85-degree day. The chunks of mango in it were delicious.
