    Shaw's Ridge Farm is located inland off the beaten path on Route 224, just north of the Route 202 intersection in Sanford and not to be confused with Shaw Farm in Dracut, MA. Shaw's Ridge Farm, a family business, has been around for over 70 years and offers an ice cream shop and BBQ Barn (separate buildings with seating inside both), mini golf, and Springvale Nurseries all on the same premises. Shaw's Ridge Farm offers up to over 50 flavors of hard ice cream including such as moose tracks, ginger, and native blueberry. A few of the flavors are made sometimes including the Kahlua Brownie, Reese's Pieces, and Coconut Pineapple. They offer regular and large size cones/dishes, as well as sundaes, frappes, and banana splits. At the BBQ Barn (currently open Fri-Sun nights), the menu is simple offering pulled pork, chicken, BB ribs, smoked sausage, smoked chicken salad, Angus burgers, hot dogs, and sides (beans, fries, corn bread, slaw, cheesy potatoes). The BBQ sauce cups are from Ken's. I stopped here twice in the same day over the weekend, during the day for ice cream and in the evening for BBQ takeout. For ice cream, I had a regular size cup (2 scoops, the smallest size posted on the board) of Granny Shaw's Original Coffee ice cream ($2.95 plus tax), since I consider myself a major coffee-holic, hehe. The ice cream was on the very cold/frozen side when first scooped, so I decided to take it to go and let it soften up for a good 20 minutes in the sunlight. The ice cream had a sweet and good strong coffee flavor with a very creamy texture. Overall, the ice cream was very good (4 stars). Later on in the evening, I stopped by the BBQ Barn for takeout. I ordered a Pulled Pork Sandwich ($6.95) served with cole slaw & dill pickle spear and a side of Cheesy Potatoes ($1.95). The BBQ Barn dining area (self serve) has a long row of tables with a big John Deere sign and a gallery of framed pig art pictures hanging on the wooden walls. The food was good. The pulled pork (no BBQ sauce on it) sandwich on a artisan roll was tender and lean, slightly dry. The shredded cole slaw was refreshing, made with vinegar. The cheesy potatoes was very dense and fillling with potato chunks, cheese, and corn flakes. The Ken's Cannonball BBQ sauce was sweet and tangy. Overall, a great place to get homemade ice cream and BBQ. However, I wish that the kiddie size was offered here like other ice cream places for smaller appetites and for those watching calories.

    BBQ has huge portions of great food and homemade ice cream is amazing. Beautiful flowers and a well kept lawn for eating.

    This ice cream was nothing special. I felt that they used too much dyes in it as well for some flavors.
