Memories Ice Cream opened in 1992 in an old renovated dairy barn in Kingston, New Hampshire. It is a great setting for a warm summer afternoon and the goats that are still on premises make for an interesting distraction for the little ones. There are chairs and picnic tables set among the old barn and pens where you can sit and enjoy your ice cream. Be sure to bring your appetite the serving sizes are large pictured below is a small!
They offer 45 flavors of ice cream and also sherbet, sorbet, vegan almond milk ice cream and frozen yogurt. Coffee drinks and light snacks are also available.
The Tuckaway Tavern in Raymond is a combination butchery and tavern with high quality meat available at both locations. There are separate entrances for the tavern and butchery.
The tavern is always busy and parking can at times be problematic if you just want to pick up some neat for dinner but it is well worth it. There is a large selection of meat available with great cuts of beef and many different varieties of sausage and marinated chicken.
There is also a nice selection of gourmet products like deserts, condiments and cheese.
The tavern as I mentioned and you will have to wait for a seat on most nights. A small menu features some great steaks and a few seafood options.
The meal starts off with some fresh potato chips and tortilla chips. A nice change from the typical bread serving.
If you are in the mood for good beef this is a nice suburban steak house. The butchery is a great place to pick up some quality meat for that special home cooked meal. We are lucky to have this place in our town.
Barker’s farm in Stratham is a family run farm owned by the same family since 1917. The farm stand has a selection of fresh crops in season and a variety of local farm type products.
We purchased our usual favorites tomatoes, cucumbers and corn on the cob. All were very good farm fresh quality, however the corn did have about 40% of the ears with corn worms in the very tip. We snapped off the ends and the rest of the ear was fine. The corn was good but the today’s pick was not available until about 10:00 am on a Saturday.
In addition to the fresh veggies we bought some smoked cheese and an apple-blueberry pie which were both very good. Their farm products are sourced from local vendors.
The iconic lunch spot on the Eastport Waterfront Rosie’s Hot Dogs is an institution. Rosie’s has been in the same location at the foot of the Eastport breakwater pier for decades and is renowned for their dogs and fries.
Set in an ideal location grab a dog and some fries and head out towards the end of the breakwater for some great views of the bay and Canada. If you time it right you may hit mackerel season or see a whale spout of in the distance.
Eastport, Maine at one time had numerous sardine canneries with one of the most popular inclusions with the sardines being mustard. With this in mind J. Wesley Raye founded the Raye’s Mustard Mill ,still owned by the Raye family, in 1900.
The store is no longer on site but is located in downtown Eastport. Make sure you stop by as you will not find better tasting mustard anywhere. Many varieties are available.
