WATCH: Framingham Featured in Massachusetts's First Ever Ice Cream Trail

State recognizes Eastleigh Farm, Hanson’s Farm, and Murphy’s Eats and Treats.

Ice cream lovers in Massachusetts are in for a treat, because Governor Maura Healey recently announced the state’s first ever ice cream trail!

It includes over 100 different destinations across the commonwealth–three of which are in Framingham: Eastleigh Farm, Hanson’s Farm, and Murphy’s Eats and Treats.

The Frame's Mackenzie Wright took a visit to all three of those spots to learn what being a part of this trail means to them. Across the board, it was made clear that this initiative is about much more than just ice cream; it’s an opportunity to connect communities in Massachusetts to their local dairy industry, farmers, and small businesses.

If you would like to learn more about the trail- and check out the full list of destinations- you can go online to www.visitMA.com, and click on the MA Ice Cream Trail tab at the top of the page.
