Snow’s Ice Cream

Hey! I’m not sure what exactly we are reviewing here. A carton of ice cream or Snows Ice Cream at 80 School St in Greenfield? Is there a tour of the place or something? If we’re just reviewing ice cream that you can buy anywhere, then let me chime in and say that I’m a BIG FAN of Bart’s Ice Cream, which is the same people as Snows.
A few things here: you can really only get this ice cream around Greenfield/​Amherst area, as opposed to Haagen Dazs, or others, which is everywhere (and I suspect that certain preservatives are there so that it can be shipped and shored.). It’s also rBST-​free, corn syrup-​free ice cream made with with many local ingredients.
I can tell you from experience that their Three Geeks and a Redhead, Ginger (with local ginger) pairs very nicely with some of the berries that you can get from many of the farmer’s markets. They also had a flavor once called Blueberry Lavender, which I’ve never seen since, so bring it back!

Many thanks to William for writing a review, which prompted this one. I likewise bought some Snow’s at Foster’s a couple months back, it being on sale. It’s normally priced as a premium ice cream, at about twice as much as you’d pay for store brands, but I’d rather have generic Stop & Shop ice cream. First off, it’s one of those brands that have gone to the teensy quart-​and-​a-​half container. Secondly, it tasted GRITTY. News flash, folks: vanilla ice cream is not supposed to taste GRITTY.
I like to patronize local things, but echhh. This ice cream was trash, and I wound up feeding the remains to the cats. Well, ONE of the cats — the other *walked away!*
It’s no wonder that this outfit taking over the well-​known local ice cream purveyor Bart’s was the ruination of a once-​renowned vendor.

I bought a carton of Snow’s ice cream at the local Stop & Shop. Didn’t like it. It had an airy, foamy texture — more like mousse than ice cream — plus it was too sweet for my taste. I’ll stick to Haagen Dazs.

Please feel free to check out the rat infested factory on School Street. Enjoy your chocolate encrusted rat turds. The roof is caving in and they don’t care that the employees are risking their lives going in and out of the freezer. If you have no health or moral issues, be my guest and enjoy their ice cream. GAG!!!
