REGION – Three local ice cream shops were named as stops on the Massachusetts Ice Cream Trail.
The Healey-Driscoll Administration announced the trail on July 25, which was developed by the Massachusetts Dairy Promotion Board, the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources and the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism.
According to a press release from the administration, the trail celebrates the history of ice cream making in Massachusetts and encourages visitors to explore the different flavors of over 100 places across the state.
“We are excited to launch the Massachusetts Ice Cream Trail, a delicious route that highlights the incredible diversity of our dairy farms and ice cream shops,” said Governor Maura Healey. “Massachusetts has a vibrant agricultural sector that thrives thanks to the hardworking farmers who diligently support our communities. This new tourism trail is designed to invite residents and visitors to experience our creative dessert offerings at traditional parlors, innovative shops, and local farm stands.”
There are three stops on the trail in the Community Advocate’s coverage area – New City Microcreamery in Hudson, Swirls and Scoops in Grafton and Trombetta’s Farm in Marlborough.
