Screaming for Ice Cream?

These might hit your sweet spot:

• Maple View Farm, Hillsborough;
• Old Towne Creamery, Manteo;
• Peaches n' Cream, Wadesboro;
• Lumpy’s, Wake Forest;
• Spike’s Dairy Bar, Southport;
• and Jack the Dipper, Sylva and Waynesville.

They are in or near electric co-op territory, and almost all are locally owned. They offer unexpected, delicious twists to the more customary flavors, too. In short, these dreamy, creamy stops make brain freeze worth it. Yum!
