Why is there a line and double park cars going down this narrow road ? It must be good when you can't even get into the parking lot and the line to order wraps around. Locals were saying how they sell out of specialty flavors. After 25 mins under the Sun I'm expecting this to be great. And it was. Love their simple flavors, everything was creamy. Maple cream was definitely my favorite. A few outdoor seating , goodluck finding a shade. Friendly staff ! read more

Wow this place is so cool! Nice a unique and super local ice cream shop. The ice cream itself was so fresh and delicious. The place opened in the afternoon and we got there 20 min before it opened. People were already starting to form a line that's how you know it's good! They literally have the cows in the field right next to the shop. Perfect little place to try if you're in the area and actually it's worth the drive to come from Manchester and Concord! read more

As good as everyone says, this little stand is the real thing. The smoothest, creamiest ice cream I can remember. We had strawberry and coffee. Strawberry had no chunks of fruit, just speckles of berries, but had excellent flavor. Need more help serving - we were in line nearly 25 min on a Friday afternoon with only 4 people in front of us. This, after giving up a few Sunday's ago, when there were 20+ people waiting read more

Best Ice Cream in NH. I have a dairy intolerance and ice cream is typically not my friend ( if you catch my drift). Someone suggested that I try Ilsleys as the ice cream is made by them from their cows.. I have never had any issues with Ilsleys ice cream and it had re-kindled my relationship with a childhood favorite! The service is always excellent, staff is always friendly and it is just a welcoming and convivial place! read more

Oh my goodness..... This is the best ice cream I have ever had my entire life and I have eaten a lot of ice cream and I am definitely an older adult! The homemade ice cream they have is so flavorful and creamy!!!! I especially love the coffee Oreo and the brown sugar oatmeal ice cream flavors! The location is so rural and is not near anything else so it makes it even more special! Everyone who works there is super kind as well! I can hardly wait to go back again soon! read more

Wonderful small spot for some ice cream. Always fresh with milk from their own cows and a large variety of flavors. I had what I believe they called the Contoocook split. Their rendition on a banana split. My girl had a milkshake and we were both very pleased. The service had nothing but smiles and were very friendly. The only thing keeping this from 5 stars were the fact that the picnic tables were not clean and there were not enough of them. All in all a great spot and we will undoubtedly be returning. read more

Wow!! I feel really lucky to live just 20 mins from this delicious ice cream spot. Cute setting being that is is on a small family farm. Grass to sit on and cows presumed to have provided the delicious cream that made this ice cream. We had pumpkin cheesecake, apple butter with ginger snaps, cherry cheesecake and the oatmeal brown sugar. Each flavor was just delicious. Sooo creamy. I usually get a small sized and even a kiddie when getting ice cream out. Not here! I'll be getting the large so that I can have two flavors and maybe a little extra so I that I can pop it in the freezer for a delicious bite later. read more

I truly do love this place and i would rate it a 5 but I'm hoping something other than a 5 might actually draw their attention. Everything about this place is wonderful except the wait time. I know that sounds a bit dumb but sometimes people just want to go and grab a quick cone or some ice cream to go and don't have time to wait in line for 45 minutes because there's only one window and maybe one or 2 people scooping. I love that they're growing and they're so popular but if your customer base is growing you need to grow your business as well. ie hire more people, at least on the weekends. As well as make more of the seasonal flavors so by the time Sunday afternoon rolls around there's not just the boring "sweet cream, vanilla, chocolate and strawberry" left. Again love love love this place but i think they need to get on the ball a bit. read more

There are a variety of ice cream options to choose from and three of the four in my group chose to get flights. I love when places offer flights of things! This flight was four 2oz souffle cups placed in a nice wooden board with a handle; easy for carrying. It also came with the reasonable price tag of $6. The girl working got herself a little confused scooping the flavors on the three different flights so they didn't come out quite right. Also, we were given no directive as to which flavors were which. Both of the aforementioned could be remedied with a simple, small piece of paper with 1 - 4 listing each flavor left to right. This did make the ice cream tasting more interesting trying to figure out exactly what we got. We think one of the flavors wasn't one any of us ordered. I seemed to get all the correct flavors. I tried the blubarb (strawberry rhubarb), checkerberry (wintergreen), Jamaican nutmeg and shakin' bacon. Three of the four flavors I have never seen elsewhere and I've tried a LOT of ice cream places. All of the flavors were decently creamy and tasted good with my top two being the Jamaican nutmeg and checkerberry. The checkerberry was nice and refreshing and would be great as a palate cleanser in between courses. The Jamaican nutmeg had a good amount of real nutmeg flavor and reminded me of winter time. Everyone else in my group enjoyed most of their flavors... There were two, which we're not sure which ones they were, that they were on the fence about. But, as they say, different strokes for different folks. If you're an ice cream lover, an adventurous eater or just looking for a sweet, cool treat, get yourself to Richardson Farm in Boscawen for their homemade ice cream!

It sort of feels like a cozy campsite in the woods. They offer 24 flavors of Blake's Ice Cream (cones, sundaes, frappes, floats), shaved ice, protein drinks, soft drinks, water. For hot foods, they offer sliders, hot dogs, quesadillas, chicken strips, chicken drums, fries, chili cheese fries, nachos, clam cakes, banana fritters, poutine, and a daily special item. The prices here seem pretty reasonable. There is ample seating and places to enjoy your cold treat and hot foods here including umbrella round table seating (near the shack) and wood chair seating down the small hill along the river bank and also chair seating in the river (river seats), great place to cool off! I stopped here recently while driving through Goshen. I ordered a Pina Colada Shaved Ice ($3), which was a very nice cold treat with a good amount of pina colada juice and surprises at the bottom of the treat, plenty of chewy colorful gummy bears! After looking at the hot foods menu, I decided to order some food to go! I ordered the Saturday Special which was a Lasagna and a piece of soft Italian bread ($6) and an order of Clam Cakes (6 for $4.50). The piece homemade lasagna was very good, similar to what I make at my home, which had layers of noodles, cheeses, ground beef, and tomato sauce. The clam cake balls were deep fried golden, which had a soft chewy texture with minced pieces of clam in the dough with tartar sauce on the side. The last time I had enjoyed clam cakes was two years ago at a fair in CT. Overall, this place not only serves great cold treats and hot foods, but also offers a unique experience of enjoying your treats very close to or in the Sugar River.
