We add Vermont maple sugar to the base for a clear maple flavor and light caramel sweetness.
Our signature flavor is inspired by the Vermont maple creemee. The modern tradition took off at the 1981 Vermont State Fair, when Rutland County sugar makers asked a local dairy to swap the usual sugar in its soft-serve mix for real maple syrup. It was an instant hit.
The maple creemee storyMaine blueberries
Maine blueberries add tart berry flavor and a deep purple color.
Commercial wild-blueberry harvesting was recorded in Maine during the 1840s. By approximately 1870, Maine had become the first place to commercially can blueberries, launching a large-scale industry centered on the native wild lowbush blueberry.

Connecticut sweet corn
Connecticut sweet corn adds mild corn flavor and natural sweetness.
New Haven has been tinkering with sweet corn for generations. By 1948, the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station had created more successful sweet-corn hybrids than any other institution. We took the experiment in a colder direction.

Massachusetts black raspberries
Black raspberries add a tart, concentrated berry flavor.
Howard Johnson was a Quincy businessman who took over a neighborhood drugstore with a soda fountain in 1925 and made homemade ice cream the main event. He grew the menu to 28 flavors—including black raspberry—before his orange-roofed restaurants became a road-trip icon.

Just our base: milk, cream, sugar, and nonfat dry milk powder.
New Hampshire’s first private creamery opened in Barrington in 1881, founded by Charles H. Waterhouse. The state’s first co-operative creamery opened on April 6, 1885, at Short Falls in Epsom’s Suncook Valley, also managed by Waterhouse.

Rhode Island coffee syrup
Rhode Island coffee syrup brings sweet coffee flavor to our milk-and-cream base.
Coffee milk has been Rhode Island’s official state drink since 1993. It combines milk with coffee syrup; add vanilla ice cream and it becomes a Rhode Island cabinet. Our Coffee Milk brings that familiar flavor to a pint, made with Rhode Island coffee syrup.
Rhode Island’s coffee milk traditionSimple by design
Great ice cream does not need a long base recipe. It needs excellent ingredients, careful recipes, and close attention to every batch. We source locally from New England producers and pasteurize every base ourselves in New Haven.
