Ferris Acres Creamery

$ Fodor's Choice

This popular creamery, located on a massive family-owned and -operated dairy farm since 1864, creates its own made-on-the-farm frozen desserts (that's ice cream!) daily. Choose from more than 30 "regular" flavors, like coffee almond fudge and maple walnut, and as many "special" flavors, like Caramalt and Sunset on the Peach (with a raspberry swirl).  This is not a nut-free facility.

Sparrow Bar & Restaurant

$$

The newest creation of local chef and restaurateur John Bourdeau is manned by another local chef, Mike Sorenson, who produces globally inspired dishes for an ever-changing, seasonal menu. Expect dishes like potstickers or caviar grilled cheese, outstanding smashburgers, and in-house baked bread. The indoor-outdoor space will suit diners for all seasons.
