| Nothing says breakfast like ice cream |
I am a little hesitant to post this for fear that too many
people will find out about one of the best kept secrets in the White
Mountains-the Sandwich Creamery.
The Creamery is tucked into a small valley at the
northern edge of New Hampshire’s Lakes Region, an area through which tourists
pass or stay seasonally. According to
Farming magazine, “If you find the Sandwich Creamery, it’s because you’re
looking for it. Off a minor state road, off a gravel road, onto a smaller
gravel road, past a windmill and down over a hill…etc” It’s a destination close to attractions such
as Squam Lake and hiking hot spots in the Sandwich Range of the White Mountains
but not so easy to find. That quaint, out
of the way feel is precisely what attracts so many people to sample the products
the Sandwich Creamery…that and delicious homegrown NH ice cream!

Tom and Lisa Merriman
established the creamery in 1995 and they now produce cow’s milk farmstead cheeses
in many varieties: aged cheddar, smoked cheddar, Caerphilly, Coulommier, Jersey
Jack, and brie, as well as a variety of fresh soft cheese spreads. The Co-op is adding more and more cheese
varieties that Sandwich Creamery produces and will hopefully be adding their ice
cream in the near future.
Although Sandwich Creamery no longer produces the milk that
goes into their products the majority of their liquid dairy is shipped down the
road from Walker Farm in Bristol, NH.
Ice cream and cheeses are made by hand in small batches using
time-honored methods. As a small family business, Sandwich Creamery is
committed to a product that helps people stay connected to their local farms.
