Just got back from a short hop to Richardson's. My wife had a butter-pecan cone, and I had a flight (4 little scoops) of coffee espresso bean, grapenut, chocolate, and strawberry rhubarb. They were all delicious! Rich, but not overly sweet. It's a good thing they're not any closer or we'd be there every day! Everyone working there was very nice and the prices are reasonable! We'll be back! read more

Best Ice Cream in New Hampshire! Unfortunately they don't stock all of their flavors in the Half Gallon size! But they'll pack quarts for you! But quarts are more expensive! I wanted Coffee Oreo & Coffee Heath Bar! No luck! read more

Friendly service in a nice farm setting with homemade ice cream. There is a pavilion in front of the ordering window with picnic tables underneath. 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! read more

See all

Yummy ice cream and very friendly staff!! Had the flight with a waffle cone on the side and will definitely be back!! Cash or check only! Luckily my friend had a check on her or we would have been bummed!! read more

Megan was so friendly and knowledgeable about their products for sale. Pies of all kinds and sizes, you can buy out of their refrigerator case or get them made to order in large sheet an size for a large group get-together. I bought an apple crisp, small size about 5 by 8 for two of us. Also available ice cream, apple cider, eggs. I think they have drinks made to order, too. Open in the winter Fri, Sat & Sunday. Free seeds from last year. read more

Richardson's Orchard and Farmstand - We ate the apple crisp without taking photos, it disappeared fast as it was delicious; was to die for, crunchy on top & delightful. - Farmers Market Near Me - Boscawen, New Hampshire

Great ice cream. And they offer "flights". First time I have seen this outside of craft breweries. Choose four flavors and each comes in a little cup, served on a plank, just like a brewery. Lots of flavors to choose from. They might want to offer jumbo flights with six flavors. Fast friendly service, and no affiliation with other Richardson's. Ice cream is made on the premises. Would give them six stars if I could. Well worth the drive. read more

Six dollars for four choices. Creamy and delicious. Made on the premise. Best ice cream I've tasted to date. read more

Richardson's Orchard and Farmstand - Chocolate, mint chip, butter crunch, shakin bacon - Farmers Market Near Me - Boscawen, New Hampshire

Absolutely the best ice cream around! The pies and crisps are to die for! The few times I've been there this year, the young lady was very busy but friendly. I had asked about buying bulk apples but never did get an answer because I couldn't find the person outside. It a quaint little ice cream stand that also sells pies and cider. read more

Absolutely love this place! Jimmy, his wife, family, friends, and cats on the property are super! Everything here is 100% natural. The Richardson family cuts no corners. Their multiple choices of ice cream, have yet to find a flavor that I don't like. Every summer here and for good reason. What a fun place also! Lots of fun characters, and step on up to be part of it. The chairs on the front side are super. What makes this place is its tasty ice cream, and personal feel that is special. If you're in this part of NH, you'll want to stop on in. Family friendly and delicious. read more

This is part of the ice cream trail in NH. And when I say this is out of the way, it is out of the way. Basically in the middle of nowhere farming country. The ice cream was VERY creamy and really delicious. read more

Best ice cream in the Concord area! All homemade and delicious served by smiling faces. Their pies and deserts are phenomenal as well so please give them a try. read more

Great homemade right on premises ice cream! A must try anytime nearby, worth the drive!!

Cute little ice cream stand right on a farm - well worth the drive. Very friendly server and the best peanut butter cup ice cream I've ever had. read more

Quality ice cream with plenty of butterfat and interesting flavors. Sweet place. Nice for kids.

Great I cream in a variety of flavors. A very nice and helpful staff. The stand is a little out of the way but worth the trip.

The ice cream here is so yummy! The environment is always so positive. I love bringing my daughter here when the weather is warm and sitting on their benches, it's our favorite ice cream place :) read more

BEST ice cream in the world! Incredible flavors, beautiful spot in Boscawen. Owners are wonderful. Worth the trip from anywhere

They have a great selection of Icecream! So hard to decide! Their menu includes pies which we saw several people buying. There was plenty of space to sit and everything was clean. We bought some sunflowers from a little girl selling them on the property. This is a great spot for an afternoon visit! read more

My favorite ice cream!! It is so creamy and you can tell all the ingredients are fresh. I always get the Key Lime Pie. It even has chunks of graham cracker crust in it. read more

My favorite ice cream place ever! The staff is always friendly and accommodating and their ice cream is delicious! If you go bring cash as they are cash only! read more

Good ice cream flavor choices, we had the blueberry pie waffle cone, and pumpkin flavor both were good. It's off the beaten path but worth the drive. read more

Best homemade pies, apple crisp and ice cream. Sue and Jim are pretty awesome too. Cash only. Bring an appetite because they have very forgiving portions. read more

Richardson's Orchard and Farmstand - Farmers Market Near Me - Boscawen, New Hampshire

I cannot think of enough positive comments to say about the owners Sue and Jim Richardson. Their homemade Apple Crisp, Pies, Fruit Squares, and Ice Cream are absolutely mouthwatering! Not all of the bakery items are baked every day, so if you have a special request or large order, please call ahead of time. I learned that the hard way, I now call to place a order. read more

Reasonably priced produce. $1.75/lb for peaches and nectarines. Although the produce isn't supermarket perfect, you can bet that they are actually ripe and flavorful. The ice cream seems to be bought in large vats. I got the pistachio. It was nice, but bright green and supermarket quality. read more

Got there at 8:30. Yelp said they close at 9. Guess that's in a different time zone. Everything for a reason. Found the Smoke Shack BBQ and ice cream and they are awesome read more

Richardson's has the best ice cream. Every summer, we vacation in New Hampshire, and we always try to fit in as many visits to Richardson's as possible. The grape nuts ice cream is, hands down, my all-time favorite. The chocolate peppermint stick is a close second. Though Richardson's is a bit off the beaten path, it is certainly worth a road trip (or five!). read more

What a great hidden gem. Small family run ice cream stand. They sell pies and bakes goods as well. It might not look like much but you will not be disappointed. I recommend their butter crunch or fresh rhubarb flavors. Yum! read more

Produce is grown out back. All fruits and veggies are as farm fresh as you can get. The ice cream is made in small batches by the owners. This is the son of the people who own Richardson's Dairy in Dracut MA (Not the one in Middleton!) The ice cream is super creamy. The color can vary because it's handmade and a teaspoon too much can make it neon. Other than that great ice cream. Can't get it better anywhere else. read more

Great flavors of ice cream and some are not carried in stores like the banana chocolate chip. Small pies, brownies and fruits in season. Excellent. read more

There's nothing worse than ordering a mint chip frappe to find that the chocolate chips don't fit in the straw. You're left disappointed with only a mint frappe and a chocolatey mess at the bottom of your cup. It's a small detail for any ice cream place but it's a crucial one and anyone who's had a mint chip frappe before knows exactly what I'm talking about. Richardson's knows exactly what I'm talking about. The tiny chocolate chips in their mint chip are the perfect size so that they easily fit through the straw and reach your mouth, giving you the full experience of the mint and the chocolate that is mint chip ice cream. Hands down, without a doubt, Richardson's makes the BEST mint chip there is. Mint chip always has been and always will be my favorite flavor so I order it everywhere we go. I couldn't even count the number or different places across the country that I've ordered a mint chip frappe but, Richardson's rises above all others and is the undisputed #1. Combine the best ice cream with the perfect chip size for a straw and I really don't know why you would go anywhere else for ice cream. Richardson's, if you're reading this, please don't ever change your recipe or your straw size! read more

Other places say "homemade", but whose home (or factory)?? You can see the machines right on sight. The place is nothing fancy, but their sundaes are to die for, but they are out of raspberry sauce for the season. They still have great unique ice cream flavors like ginger snap, cranberry walnut, and mango. Also, you can get apple crisp with ice cream and also buy crisp to take home. It's also a beautiful ride as you are up on a ridge looking out to the north over open farm fields. If you haven't been there you must go! read more

We really wanted to like this place, but after two unsuccessful, expensive visits, we call Uncle. On our first visit, last year, the woman who waited on us was beyond rude, starting with, "What do you want?!?!" We ordered, despite her behavior, thinking 'Well, maybe this is what some might call a charming NH local?" One of our party ordered a vanilla sundae with caramel sauce. Anyone who orders caramel sauce knows that, when tempered properly, the sauce remains deliciously gooey the entire time. This sauce? It was like rock candy, encasing the ice cream in a fortress of sugar. I drew the short straw, so I brought the sundae back to the window, knocked on the caramel shell with the spoon, and said, "Excuse me, but your caramel sauce isn't tempered properly...?" The woman looked me in the eye ... 'Oh really?" and closed the window on me! This year we tried again, thinking, "Hey... maybe we just caught them on a bad day!" Again, we all ordered. My son ordered a vanilla frappe, I ordered chocolate ice cream, and my husband ordered chocolate chocolate chip ice cream. The frappe should be renamed 'vanilla thick milk', because it was the thinnest frappe we've ever had, and the chocolate ice cream we decided should be renamed 'grey', because not only did it look grey (vs. brown) but it *tasted* grey. No joke. My husband said his should be called 'grey chocolate chip'. Gross. We're done with this place, and while we wish them well, we can't in good conscience not warn other travelers in the hopes that they'll save their money and go elsewhere. read more

Great produce and vegetables which is way under graded - their seconds are better than most firsts. Got a bushel of "seconds graded" tomatoes last year which my friends raved about. Have been going to this farm stand in Boscawen, NH for four years now. They recently allowed me to watch them make ice cream a few months back which I documented on Facebook here http://on.fb.me/i81oho . They use all high quality ingredients which you will quickly notice with the first bite. Definitely a great place to visit for an ice cream or one of their homemade pies. read more

Absolutely amazing!!! I refuse to buy commercialized ice cream or baked goods and that's why I come here. Everything they make is made in the kitchen behind the ice cream window, and it's all real ingredients. (Fresh cream ect.) Their ice cream is the best I have ever eaten including my own! And the pies taste just like my grandmother used to make. They are each made individually, and come in 2 different sizes. And the prices are very reasonable! (10 for a huge apple pie that is so delicious you won't buy from anywhere else ever, promise!) read more

Simply the best! And reasonably priced too. Hard to get enough of their ice cream. Don't forget to bring your pups for a doggie dish. Living close is dangerous to your waist line. read more
