Kimball Farm Open for the 75th season!

With a little snow on the ground, that didn't stop this place from completing the 5 ice cream stand opening for the year.

With Kimball Farms finally opened for their 75th anniversery, let us say that the only thing we need is now some lobster rolls and some bumper boats.

But anyways, the Specials are here!  Now some news though.

The prices has gone up quite a bit.  The small or large regular ice creams were $3.90 and 4.45 last year, are now $4.25 and $4.75.  Sundaes are now $5.80, Doubledaes are $6.50, Tripledaes are now 6.85, and banana splits are now $7, up 25 to 35 cents from last year.  But I do believe that because of the drought that has impacted the dairy farmers.

The special was Maple Walnut, Pistachio Nut, and German Chocolate Cake.  It was a bummer that they didn't have any easter themed or any Irish Coffee, so it was as close I can get to a Spring or St. Patrick's Day thing.

Well, guess I stocked up too much, since I have lots of ice cream still leftover from the winter.  But Kimball Farms is now open for the season...well...in 2 weeks when they are fully open.

Is WeAllScreamForIceCream dead?

I have visited the We All Scream For Ice Cream page during some time, and have not received a new blog in a long time.

The last stop for them was Jim's Ice Cream Barn up at Salem NH.  It was there for the last 5 years, and has been to places from Kimballs to Cherry Hill, and lots of other places.

Well, I love you, WeAllScreamForIceCream.  This is my insperation to do my own ice cream stops.

But we hope that WeAllScreamForIceCream would make more stops later on.  If not, then farewell and rest in peace.

SPRUNG! Rota Springs Eternal open for the season!

Wow!  Time went fast.  After 4 short months, Rota Springs opens again for the 2013 season.

It's still winter with snow all over, but this doesn't stop Rota from open up again!

Meatball sub?  CHECK!

However, no indian pudding as of yet.  Blaaah.  Hopefully, they will have it up again soon.

I chose these two specialty flavers, whcih is a Taste of Tuscan (well forget what the real name is, but it's a vanilla base with pretzels, peanut butter cups, and some caramel), and a new Red Velvet Cake ice cream.  Although the description is like chocolate ice cream with red velvet chunks, it looks more like to me a red velvet base.

But anyways, Rota Springs is open for the season...and this ice cream stand has been, believe it or not, open for 15 years!

Kind of interesting to see an ice cream cone with snow in the background...

Anyways, Kimball Farms is slated to open in about 3 to 4 weeks from now!

March means ice cream stands opening up again!
