Last night I had ice cream for dinner. What am I six? I don't even feel guilty. The ginger fruit ice cream at Orchard Hill in Lowell was so pure, organic and farm-fresh it felt like a meal. If it came with a mint leaf, I'd say all the four food groups were present. This was only my second time visiting the stand since it opened in May. I'm sorry I waited till the end of summer to partake. Good news is this place (formerly Gary's on Pawtucket St.) will be open year-round and morph into a coffee shop this fall. Love the combo of coffee and ice cream invented in the gelaterias of Italy. Hot and cold makes for great mouth feel and a tantalizing surprise. Because ice cream can chill you up, hot java melts it on the way down. Good bye brain freeze/frosty throat, hello happiness.
We've really got an excellent scoopery here. The frappes, made with ice cream from Annabelle's and Ricardson's taste about as homemade as you can get. Seriously when ice cream is this sublime, it's not even ice cream, it's nourishment.

If you are a fan of fresh ice cream, you must try the newest addition to Dunstable's dairy-esque atmosphere, the Goss Ice Cream stand on Rte. 113. Super good, with a little veggie stand, some cute bunnies and little chicks peeping away in a little coop. Yum!
