Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Factory - Stowe - TravBuddy

No visit to this part of Vermont would be complete without a stop at the Ben & Jerry's near Waterbury and there's no way I could give this icon of ice cream greatness anything less than 5 stars!  OK, so the tour is kinda cheesy (no pun intended) and no different than the tour at any other Ice Cream factory (Breyers, The Mayfield Dairy outside of Atlanta, etc), but to be in the presence of all that ice cream bliss was pure heaven.  Speaking of heaven, be sure to visit the ice cream graveyard where all the old flavors are retired.  Today's sample was American Pie, which was good, but I would have preferred some Chunky Monkey.  Click HERE for details on the Ben & Jerry's Factory Tour.  The gift shop is loaded with a lot of junk, however I was able to find the perfect t-shirt that sums up my workout at the gym lately:  "Body by Ben & Jerry's".
