State recognizes Eastleigh Farm, Hanson’s Farm, and Murphy’s Eats and Treats.
Ice cream lovers in Massachusetts are in for a treat, because Governor Maura Healey recently announced the state’s first ever ice cream trail!
It includes over 100 different destinations across the commonwealth–three of which are in Framingham: Eastleigh Farm, Hanson’s Farm, and Murphy’s Eats and Treats.
The Frame's Mackenzie Wright took a visit to all three of those spots to learn what being a part of this trail means to them. Across the board, it was made clear that this initiative is about much more than just ice cream; it’s an opportunity to connect communities in Massachusetts to their local dairy industry, farmers, and small businesses.
If you would like to learn more about the trail- and check out the full list of destinations- you can go online to www.visitMA.com, and click on the MA Ice Cream Trail tab at the top of the page.
As September marks Recovery Awareness Month, we sat down with State Representative Kate Donaghue and the Director of Anchored in Recovery Bridget Nicholson for a look at what steps are being taken locally and at the state level to combat the opioid crisis, as well as the benefits of harm reduction and the importance of community support.
