Perfect tasty ice cream. Coffee I've cream is the best. The cashew caramel was great. clean. friendly. generous portions. Great play area for kids.

Shaw's Ridge Farm just off Route 224 is one of our favorite stops for Ice Cream. While all the local yocals huddle on the concrete pad down at Dairy Queen in the middle of town, we love enjoying Shaw's Ridge homemade ice cream out in the back yard where there are benches, picnic tables, swingsets for the kids, and miniature golf if you're' so inclined -- I'm not, I find it mini-golf boring! Anyway - the ice cream shop where you order is clean, and the staff is usually made up of friendly high school girls. But be prepared to to feel like an idiot as you scan down the long list of ice cream flavors trying to make up your mind as the counter girl stares at you, waiting. Further be prepared for everyone else around you to be staring at the long list of flavors in stupified wonder as well. The good news is that once you make up your mind, you'll be served a cone of one of the best-tasting ice creams in Southern Maine. The bad news is that they no longer serve the quantity that they used to. In 2012 and 2013, we'd walk in and order a "small" - which isn't exactly cheap to begin with - and receive a huge cone full of ice cream. As you walk out, everyone would stare and go, "That's a small???" These days (2014), a small is just a small again. Not sure what changed - but apparently someone caught on to the fact that the girls behind the counter were being very generous with the ice cream. Now -- a small is just a small, unfortunately. But still, the ice cream is good. The decor in the back sitting area is relaxing - with a model train overhead (sometimes running). Or just lounge out in the sun in the aforementioned back yard. And please don't tell those poor souls down at Dairy Queen that this place exists, okay?

I have always heard great things about this place for years. But I just never made a chance to try their ice cream until this past summer. It was an incredibly hot day and I walked in blind not knowing what flavor I was craving but I figured I'd find something that would suit my fancy. I need to taste before I buy. I tasted about 3.. none of them struck my fancy at all. I did not want to buy the ice cream, but after tasting 3 flavors I felt obligated to buy an ice cream cone. I had to settle with pistachio kiddie cone. The kiddie cone was $3. What? who charges 3 bucks for a KIDDIE cone. I already thought the price was ridiculous.. so maybe 3 bucks it'll be a massive scoop of ice cream. It wasn't. The ice cream tasted like.. chemicals/plastic. I was not a fan at all. It wasn't creamy, decadent or anything I associate with great ice cream. I would not come back here.

They have the BEST ice cream! I consider myself a bit of an expert, I decided to visit all the local ic joints, shains, shaker pond, giffords, and even restaurants that make their own- SHAWS IS THE BEST! Their Grammy shaws coffee rocks, but don't eat too soon before bed it kept me up, wish they had a decaf version, also love kahlua brownie, and mocha chip:) plus the grounds here are so well manicured and have such fantastic beautiful flowers there's no better place to eat it as well!

Super yummy BBQ sandwiches! The staff is very friendly, good food and clean inside almost the whole package but a little over priced for the portions you are given.

Very zen. Great ice cream, good pulled pork, excellent location, away from hustle and bustle. No people here, making it very quiet and calming, but makes me worry for their success. Now I'm gonna need you helpers to go here with friends so the next time I am in Maine, they are still open. Just don't bring like EVERYbody you know so it stays kinda zen-like. Got it? Good. I recommend getting 2 flavors in a cup. The quality is great and the flavors are vibrant and blend well together. But the papered sugar cones are kind of hard to eat. Oh and the cheesy potatoes are worth the money.

Overpriced and tiny portions...this place has gone way down hill. Always a different girl working and poorly managed. The Shaw's should have ended this before getting too greedy and ruining a good thing. The ice cream at Shain's is better tasting and less costly.
(1)Adam E.
The flavors they have are kind of boring, and the ice cream is not that great. It is over priced for it's quality and portion. There is paper wrapped around the cones, and I couldn't get it off, so I couldn't eat my cone. The best thing this business has going for it is it's beautiful land and gardens. The mini golf isn't bad either.

I don't think it gets any better than this. For some reason, the ice cream made in Maine is better than most of the rest of the country. I'm not sure why this is, but it must have something to do with the quality of the cream. That said, Shaws Ridge is the best of the best of the best. Favorites: Butter Crunch, Strawberry, Raspberry, Banana, Butter Pecan, Blueberry

Shaw's Ridge Farm is located inland off the beaten path on Route 224, just north of the Route 202 intersection in Sanford and not to be confused with Shaw Farm in Dracut, MA. Shaw's Ridge Farm, a family business, has been around for over 70 years and offers an ice cream shop and BBQ Barn (separate buildings with seating inside both), mini golf, and Springvale Nurseries all on the same premises. Shaw's Ridge Farm offers up to over 50 flavors of hard ice cream including such as moose tracks, ginger, and native blueberry. A few of the flavors are made sometimes including the Kahlua Brownie, Reese's Pieces, and Coconut Pineapple. They offer regular and large size cones/dishes, as well as sundaes, frappes, and banana splits. At the BBQ Barn (currently open Fri-Sun nights), the menu is simple offering pulled pork, chicken, BB ribs, smoked sausage, smoked chicken salad, Angus burgers, hot dogs, and sides (beans, fries, corn bread, slaw, cheesy potatoes). The BBQ sauce cups are from Ken's. I stopped here twice in the same day over the weekend, during the day for ice cream and in the evening for BBQ takeout. For ice cream, I had a regular size cup (2 scoops, the smallest size posted on the board) of Granny Shaw's Original Coffee ice cream ($2.95 plus tax), since I consider myself a major coffee-holic, hehe. The ice cream was on the very cold/frozen side when first scooped, so I decided to take it to go and let it soften up for a good 20 minutes in the sunlight. The ice cream had a sweet and good strong coffee flavor with a very creamy texture. Overall, the ice cream was very good (4 stars). Later on in the evening, I stopped by the BBQ Barn for takeout. I ordered a Pulled Pork Sandwich ($6.95) served with cole slaw & dill pickle spear and a side of Cheesy Potatoes ($1.95). The BBQ Barn dining area (self serve) has a long row of tables with a big John Deere sign and a gallery of framed pig art pictures hanging on the wooden walls. The food was good. The pulled pork (no BBQ sauce on it) sandwich on a artisan roll was tender and lean, slightly dry. The shredded cole slaw was refreshing, made with vinegar. The cheesy potatoes was very dense and fillling with potato chunks, cheese, and corn flakes. The Ken's Cannonball BBQ sauce was sweet and tangy. Overall, a great place to get homemade ice cream and BBQ. However, I wish that the kiddie size was offered here like other ice cream places for smaller appetites and for those watching calories.

Their fudge peanut butter cup ice cream is delicious.

Excellent ice cream - generous portions. I have the vanilla and maple walnut. No emulsifiers or filler: just rich, perfect ice cream. Wonderful grounds, too.
