Hidden down a seemingly forgotten country road, Buttonwood Farm is an exemplar of the country farm creamery experience. The green, rolling fields and white, wooden fences provide a perfect backdrop for the ice cream, which takes center stage. With a long line of top-notch, satiny-smooth flavors served by smiling faces at a gleaming counter, it is no surprise that locals have worked to keep this secret quiet.

| Trip Report Card |
| Overall Experience |   |
| |
| Graham Cracker Ice Cream - A tawny-colored, graham-flavored ice cream interspersed with large chunks of chocolate-covered graham crackers. This flavor is proof that unique can be delicious and not just plain weird. | |
| Blueberry Ice Cream - No need to travel to Maine. Everything you’d ever want in a blueberry ice cream—perfect flavor, mix of cream and fruit, and creaminess. | |
| Forbidden Silk Chocolate Ice Cream - A stronger, darker chocolate than the typical standard. The pudding-smooth consistency elevated this forbidden flavor to the next level. | |
| Vanilla Ice Cream - Silky smooth and pillowy soft, this scoop’s texture was pleasing to the palate, but lacked a distinctive flavor. | |
| Hot Fudge Sauce - Seemingly out of a can, this sauce quickly solidified on the ice cream like a store-bought Magic Shell. | |
