For those who have a dim view of government, here’s one of its better accomplishments: dda.delaware.gov/marketing. It’s your guide to local farmers markets (more than 25), and more, including—ice cream. To wit:
“Get your ice cream and other frozen delicacies straight from the farm! Delaware is fortunate to have four on-farm creameries for you to choose from, where the cows produce the tastiest ice cream in the First State.”
