I'm on the hunt to hit up different ice cream spots all over MA and Bedford farms did not disappoint!! I got the soft serve with sprinkles in a cone (but also a cup since it was melting). So good. My friend got the muddy river which was a chocolate base with shavings of peanut butter in it + chocolate sprinkles on top. She loved it. Then my other friend got coffee Oreo in a cone. Also incredible. I love soft serve with sprinkles so I started with that, but I neeeeded some coffee oreo for myself and ended up getting that too! The portions are huge here so you'll be good with a kiddie or mini! read more

Bedford Farms is by far my favorite ice cream place in the greater Boston area. Lots of interesting flavors to choose from, all the requisite toppings, friendly staff, plenty of places to park and hang out to eat your ice cream. I'm glad I don't live too close as it would be a daily stop I'm sure read more

Bedford Farms - A kid size sundae with cashew turtle ice cream, butterscotch, topping, and jimmies - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bedford, Massachusetts

Super tasty and fresh ice cream right down the road from the Minuteman bike trail! My partner and I were desperate for a sweet treat after a warm afternoon biking around town, and Bedford Farms checked all the boxes. The little storefront is charming and seemingly busy at almost all times of the day. I was hoping to try some of their soft-serve but under they had ran out/the machine wasn't working, so I settled for some M&Ms flavored ice cream in one of their smallest sized cups. It was a bit expensive but the portions were huge! I easily could've split this with another person. The ice cream was very tasty and had a nice consistency. We were luckily enough to find a bench to eat at, so we got to relax and enjoy our time here! Wish they had more of a seating area, but seems like most people take their ice cream to-go here. read more

A MUST DO! 4&1/4 STARS for the ice cream & they get an Extra Bonus 1/4 Stars for an unexpected fantastic flavor. It's Time to jump into The TimeMobile & scour the Earth & take you to places from a different time that you won't believe still exist. We have set the dial to the 1800's in the town of Bedford Mass. outside of Boston. Bedford Farms began as a dairy farm in the 1800's by The J. B. Prescott Company. During the late 40s & 50s they started making ice cream & this went on for many years. After 80 years the business had changed & they sold their Milk division & decided to solely concentrate on ice scream. In 1984, Joe and Dave Venturi purchased the business & are still the current owners. This is now the oldest running business in Bedford. The Parking here is FREE. They have also added a second location in Concord MA. They serve 60 Flavors of Homemade ice cream including both Hard & Soft Serve & Frozen Yogurt too. They also make Sundaes, Banana Boats, Banana Splits, Frappes, Floats, Freezes, Lime Rickeys etc. You can also order some to go pints, quarts & 1/2 gallons. They also make custom cakes & pies. We got there at night just before closing time. We ordered the chocolate chip which was Good & the Rum Raisin - an old school classic that's very hard to find. The Rum Raisin was Very Good. One of their most popular flavors is their Green Monster. We heard however the flavor to get here is Coffee. I am not a huge coffee ice cream fan. I don't love it. I don't hate it. It's just OK. I never order it, but I'll take one for the team. So we ordered a quart of coffee ice cream to go. Well we're glad we did. The coffee ice cream is not your run of the mill coffee. Imagine your favorite coffee shop with freshly brewed coffee poured by your favorite barrister. Now you take that coffee and put it into an ice cream. That's what this tastes like. DELICIOUS! It's on a completely different level than the other ice creams here, which are all very good. You've got to try the coffee ice cream. Their slogan is Serving Happiness for over 140 years! On our continuous quest of Ice Cream Adventures, glad we stopped by at Bedford Farms. It used to be, you had to have Mega Bucks & be really Rich to have the Good Life, not anymore. The Game has changed. You've been Upgraded. Now You Can Live Like a King on a Limited Budget! read more

Don't bother. Completely run by high school students. I ordered a pint, they're out. I order a different one, they're out of that too. The guy in front of me waiting for his order says "they're out of everything." Then the girl points to a sign with all the flavors that that are out of. Wouldn't it make much more sense to have a list of the flavors they HAVE, but then, look what you're dealing with. I then ask for a frappe. The frappe machine is off. GOODBYE! We've been here a few times and something always goes wrong. When you order a pint, they feel the need to overfill it so that when you get home, it's a complete mess. Tonight was the last straw. We won't be back. There are lots of other ice cream places in the area that are run by adults. read more

Absolutely delicious ice cream in multiple flavors. Pleasant helpful staff. Lives up to the hype!

The ice cream here is really good with many different varieties to choose from and the staff are very friendly and fast. I will definitely be returning! read more

Great ice cream with quick service, an amazing variety of flavors, and huge portions! We came here on a Saturday evening after dinner for a quick dessert and found this place to be the perfect spot. Ample parking and a small area to sit on the side with benches made for a pleasant ice cream experience. I loved the consistency of their regular ice cream flavors and the portion was fantastic for its price. The nondairy options they have were a little icy so the texture wasn't perfect, but the taste was still decent. A small is honestly a lot for one person so I'd share if possible unless you want a lot! The workers were fast with getting our orders in and actually serving the ice cream so our group of 8 was in and out in under 20 minutes. Overall, this is probably my favorite local ice cream spot in MA so far. I can't wait to come back! read more

Bedford Farms - Small - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bedford, Massachusetts

Disappointed this season, seems to be completely run by high school students who havent been trained well. Prices are high so you expect a the ice cream to be fully packed when you order a container and you get home and its 3/4 full. We have lived in Bedford for 40 years and this is the first year we are so disappointed. We will still patronize in the hopes that management will re-assess their training. read more

It's my favorite local homemade ice cream stand. I have been coming since I was a kid.

I ordered an ice cream cake from Bedford farms because they allowed you to customize the flavors which I was excited for as my partner has his favorite flavor combo that I couldn't find anywhere. I've never been to this ice cream stand before but it looked great. Went during rush hour to go get it (they weren't open until like 3pm). Brought it back and served it to my partner and we quickly realized it's full of preservatives and other chemicals because it DID NOT MELT--like at all. We even left a chunk out overnight and it stayed intact. Gross. Never going back. read more

I was alerted that my Bedford Farms review was being highlighted and I felt the need for an update since my initial review is years old. I indeed did stop going to Bedford Farms after several unpleasant customer service encounters. However, I was coaxed into giving them another try once I started being in the neighborhood on a regular basis. And I am thrilled to share that their customer service is now always pleasant, friendly, and quick. I really enjoy coming here for a treat, and am thrilled that they offer dairy free options that are actually delicious and that change out, so you don't have to eat the same flavor over and over again like some other places that have dairy free or vegan flavors. And servings are huge!! A well deserved five star review! read more

Fabulous old fashioned wonderful ice cream place ! Excellent taste and large portions! Must try it

They have a wide range of flavors for any ice cream lover. I got cherry bomb, which is vanilla with big chunks cherries and chocolate chips. I got the kiddie size but it was a large scoop for 5.50$. They have a large parking lot in front so parking isn't a problem. read more

We were driving around the Bedford area and discovered this ice cream shop during a nice hot sunny day. The staff here were kind, sweet and quick, and they did not rush my 6 yo who is trying to order his ice cream like other ice cream shops when it's busy. Additionally, I love how the staff here appeared to have good communication skills as they are working together in a nice cohesive manner. More importantly, the ice cream here was fantastic! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE their Raspberry Chip ice cream! My husband's frappe was delicious and the vanilla ice cream continues be my son's fav! We highly recommend this ice cream shoppe in Bedford, MA! read more

Great place to stop by after riding at the minute man bike path! Great selection of ice cream flavors with friendly staff! Their portion is HUGE! Normal two scoops of icecream filled up a 20oz cup for only $6 ish! Icecream tasted ok though. Texture wise, they just taste like grocery store brand ice cream. read more

Lots of flavors and so many unique ones! A little expensive but it tastes amazing so it makes sense. Classic spot and lots of parking!

We've been coming here for years, always been a consistent staple until today. $18 for two small dipped cones! Have you guys lost your mind? This spot has been known for it's generous portions for a fair price, but not anymore. Both of our moosetracks cones had ZERO fudge, it was just vanilla ice cream with small peanut butter cups. Our first cones of the 2024 season will probably be our last until they reassess pricing. I know the price of everything has gone up and the location borders a very affluent town, but the line at this place is always a mile long, you don't need to be charging these prices. Very disappointed to see greed set in. read more

Amazing, this is absolutely my favorite ice cream spot nationwide. Gelato is still a favorite but this place has the best ice cream - hands down. Wish we could transplant one over to SoCal. Must try: Green Monster - mint w/Oreos and their Mud Slide - coffee w/nibs (??) read more

I love how they have so many flavors. Some of which, you need to look up because they're flavors you've never heard of. But nevertheless, when I'm the area, you have to try this place. I got the green monster which was a mint flavor ice cream with fudge and Oreos. I got the smallest size since I know servings here are huge. I believe the ice cream comes with toppings too (if you want to order it). But I didn't get any just because I didn't want to make my ice cream too sweet. The green monster itself wasn't overwhelmingly sweet despite the fudge and the Oreos, it was just perfect. The customer service is friendly too. read more

I visit Massachusetts about 4 or more times a year and I have to have ice-cream from Bedford Farms or the trip is incomplete! My favorite flavor is the mocha chip because it's so rich and creamy and frankly just perfect. Usually when there's chocolate chips in ice cream, the chips turn hard from the temperature and don't exactly 'melt' in your mouth. I have no idea what they do here but for some reason the chocolate chips in the mocha chip are a pure delight! They are soft and blend perfectly with the ice cream. Trust me, you want to get ice cream here and I bet you'll be back for more :-) PS: I'm still contemplating flying back to California with it . read more

Excellent ice cream but don't get sucked into getting the extra small size they are promoting. It is $5.25 for a shot glass of ice cream. Get the small (which is huge!). read more

Best way to cool down from a Sichuan dinner and summer? Ice cream from Bedford Farms! We came here on a weekday evening with the parking lot packed with customers coming and going for their famous ice cream. This is a local joint where they come to experience a rich and creamy delight filled with one of the best selection. 60+! Many of the flavors and toppings included chocolate but they also offered frozen yogurt and soft serve. As we walked up to the counter, staff gladly took our order. I sampled the Purple Cow Chips but decided on the Maple Walnut in a mini cup ($4.25). I learned my lesson from Boston that there's a small size (big enough for two) and the mini size perfect for a single individual! My Maple Walnut was a combination of maple and vanilla with the crunch of the walnuts. If you like maple, you'll like this choice. My guest had the very popular Green Monster (mint ice cream with Oreo cookies and fudge). Super sweet and over the top! The outdoor seating is extremely limited and at night, we ate it with some unwanted guests (a.k.a. mosquitos). If you're in the area, be sure to stop by and try their local favorite flavors. read more

Bedford Farms - Muddy River - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bedford, Massachusetts

As a New England native and a resident of the Boston area for the majority of my life, I've been coming to Bedford Farms for several years to fuel my sweet tooth whenever I get the craving, (you know the one). Now as good as their ice cream is, the service is a whole other sorry that honesty makes me cringe and not wanna return to their business at all! The employees all seem to me quite hostile and rushed, as if they'd rather be doing anything else than serving customers and making ice cream, which is their job. Also, I've had quite a few visits where my family and I will go and order our respective treats, and we'll literally only be handed half the order and be shooed away with a "Have a nice day", in the most monotone and depressing greeting voice possible. Ordering at this place makes me feel so inferior and second-class, and I really think Bedford Farms needs to step it up if they want more customers. Also, their "milkshakes" are legit just ice cream thrown into a cup, so pretty lazy job when it comes to that. read more

Bedford Farms is one of those great local joints that has wonderful ice cream at reasonable prices. The portions are quite large. I love their mud pie (coffee ice cream, chocolate swirls, and oreo cookie) as it is a combination of things that I love. The great part about the ice cream here is that it's not cloy or too sweet. So you don't need to drink a gallon of water afterward. The ubiquitous high school girl staff you see at a lot of these local ice cream joints is here as well. They're generally pretty good, though sometimes they show some inexperience. There's not a lot of chairs/benches to sit, unfortunately. read more

YASSSSSSSSS I LOVE BEDFORD FARMS!!!!! On a serious note, my Mom used to live by here so whenever we are almost in the area (or passing by exit 31 on I-95), we make a point to stop by. The peppermint stick (with hot fudge) is a great flavor, and all portions are heaping. Definitely worth a try! read more

My absolute favorite ice cream place to go to in the summer. They have great parking and is easy to find as it is on the main road. They have so many ice cream flavors to choose from as well as milkshakes, sundaes, and so much more. Its so good and everything looks so clean there. I am usually more incline to getting something when the place looks clean and is not messy. This place was spacious and clean and definitely had a nice vibe to it. I have gone there twice to get ice cream and each time I make the mistake of getting a small. ITS HUGE. My boyfriend and I split a small ice cream in a cup and the both of us could not finish it, but it was delicious. Highly recommend this place to anyone craving ice cream in the area. read more

Delicious ice cream with interesting flavors, but hot fudge was subpar in my opinion. Generous samples. Monster Mash was my fav-pumpkin cookies and cream w chocolate chunks. read more

Delicious ice cream! My husband and I shared a large, and it was more than enough for the two of us. The $6 price tag was worth it for the size. We ordered the moose tracks and green monster for our two flavors, and we were very happy. The staff were also lovely - helpful and efficient. Bedford Farms is definitely some of my favorite ice cream in the area. Will absolutely be returning. read more

After recently relocating to the area for work, I now know that a pint-sized serving of ice cream from any of these outdoor "farm stand" type ice cream places is the norm out here. Don't get me wrong, I don't have any issues with it, but just know, that if you want more than one flavor, which my indecisive self always does, you REALLY have to commit because you're about to get served what every child dreams is a normal serving of ice cream. It's a lot (in a good way.) I tried Milky Way and Mud Pie, and both were really good. Typically, anything with coffee is usually a favorite for me, but this time around, I actually preferred the Milky Way flavor over the Mud Pie. The friend that I was with also liked Milky Way the best out of her two flavors. We were both just so happy to have such a large quantity of ice cream on a really hot day that they could have been lackluster flavors, and we still would've enjoyed them. Overall, I liked this little stand. There's good ice cream. There's plenty of parking, and the lines move quickly. I'd definitely come back to try some of the other flavors if I'm ever in the area. read more

Bedford Farms - 1/2 Milky Way 1/2 Mud Pie - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Bedford, Massachusetts

Ice cream "stand" on the side of the road. More like a strip mall store than ice cream stand. Next to Holi restaurant and the Bedford Motel (now if that doesn't look like a place that rents by the hour, ew). Small sign, slightly rusted, making this place hard to find if you blink. A tad pricey for the portion size. $4.65 for a kiddie, which is a single scoop. I had ordered smalls - which are listed as a "large single scoop" since they are only 20 cents more, but the server screwed up and brought the first one out as a kiddie, do kiddies we got. The White River Junction was vanilla with a ton of caramel and almonds. Couldn't really taste any vanilla. Loved all the caramel. I don't know how they get so much caramel in and avoid it being sicky sweet, but some how they do. My only gripe was the almonds - they were whole almonds and I thought they were just too big for an ice cream add in. The vanilla with jimmies was so so. No real flavor. As others have mentioned- no place to really sit. 4 benches out front facing the beautiful parking lot. We sat at the group of 3 benches with the senior citizens. They were sweet! read more

Yum! Had the toasted coconut with jimmies...so good!! Creamy with a nice sprinkling of coconut inside. My husband had his 'go to' black raspberry sundae. Both were delicious. They have a few benches outside as well. This is the kind of ice cream place that makes me want to go back and try more and more flavors!!! read more

Firstly, Bedford Farms has the absolute best ice cream, no doubt. I travel almost half an hour for it. The kiddie size at $5 is very ample. No need to mess with small or large sizes. Moose Tracks is my favorite flavor, followed by Mocha Chip. Some are complaining about the price. I think it's worth it. I have bought pints here too. More expensive than supermarket ice cream but 10 X better. As for the reviewers who complain about the teenage employees' attitudes, I haven't had this bad experience. Everyone has been pleasant, and I tip. Besides, they're teenagers. Cut them some slack! As for the reviewers who found a small hair in their ice cream or got the wrong flavor, they sound like victims. Bring it back rather than suffering in silence! The only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that Bedford Farms is hard to reach by phone or even facebook message. No response. (I called about holiday hours.) read more
