Amanda Banta said:  A South Shore favorite, Peaceful Meadows' regularly features 24 flavors of homemade ice cream and a monthly rotation of seasonal specials throughout the year. Your sundae creations are endless with that many flavors and Peaceful Meadows' offerings of toppings.

After you finish your cone of Orange Pineapple pick up a pint of chocolate chip to store in the freezer for a treat later in the week.

Amanda Banta said:  After opening in 2014 the Ice Cream Dairy Bar at Hornstra Farms quickly became a local favorite with a delicious set of consistent and seasonal flavors. Hornstra is a working dairy farm, one of the last in the area, and sits on a picturesque spot that makes for a perfect ice cream picnic. Visitors of all ages can delight in visiting the farm's newborn calves and getting a peek at daily farm activities.

Dairy Bar open April to mid-October

Amanda Banta said:   With flavors like Hingham Harbor Sludge and Cohastronaut playing to the locale it's easy to see why Nona's Homemade Ice Cream is a popular spot on the South Shore. All it took was one chocolate frappe to make Nona's my son's new favorite ice cream shop. The shop has a long list of delicious flavors of ice cream, sherbet and sorbet on rotation throughout the year. Stop in for a classic or try something new like a margarita ice sorbet or a gingerbread ice cream.

It makes it easy for kids to share and looks like little sandwiches. They were the first ones in the state to serve up this tasty twist on ice cream.
