Summertime in Maine means fresh air and seafood shacks. But it also means ice cream and that’s what we’re talking about today. Well, sort of. Custard isn’t exactly ice cream but it satisfies a very similar sweet tooth and that’s good enough for us! Before the summer is over, take yourself to this delicious little stand and rejoice! Turns out heaven is a place on earth.

The Hodgman family has owned and operated this frozen custard stand since the 1940s. That's nearly 9 decades of a perfected recipe.
