Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream – Vermont Ride
Depart 8:30 am sharp – Return around 5:30pm
~350 miles
This is going to be a pretty long day but your stamina will be rewarded with some of the
best secondary road riding in the area and ICE CREAM!
Departing from Seacoast Cycle heading west on great roads including Rt. 149, Rt 31 and
Rt. 12 to the Connecticut River Valley. Crossing into Vermont, we pick up Scenic Rt.
100 north all the way to Waterbury Vermont, home of Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream.
Nestled in the heart of the Green Mountains our ice cream factory sits on a rolling pasture
overlooking the Worcester Range, just north of the small town of Waterbury. Our guided
factory tour is fun & educational for all ages.
Guests will learn about the ice cream production
process and how the Company’s 3-part mission
statement is incorporated into day-to-day
business decisions.
We start with a 7-minute “Moovie” shown in our
Cow Over The Moon Theater. You’ll ind out how two childhood friends, Ben Cohen and
Jerry Greenfield, turned a $5 correspondence course on ice cream making into a very
successful business that shares its success with its employees and with the community,
and has fun doing it! From there we take you to our mezzanine, where you’ll get a bird’s
eye view of “Vermont’s Finest” in action and an explanation of the ice cream
manufacturing process. Then it’s off to the FlavoRoom for delicious samples of the day!

After sampling Vermont’s Finest Ice Cream we will head back.
Depending on the time, one route takes us through more fantastic
secondary roads, through Woodstock Vermont and Quiche Gorge,
or, if pressed, we can jump right on Rt. 89 and be back to Seacoast
Cycle in a couple hours!
