What is different about Benson's Ice Cream?
Benson's offers artisanal, handcrafted, super premium ice cream the way our family has been doing do for generations. Benson's Ice Cream is a specialty ice cream unlike what you can get at the grocery store or most average scoop shops. At Benson's, you can taste the difference!
When can you buy Fresh Native flavors?
Our Fresh Native fruit flavors are only available when the fruit is in season at local farms. We work directly with local farms to purchase fresh picked fruit. We can only get fruit when they have enough to stock their own farm stands and sell us their extra, so our supply is very dependent on weather, field, and crop conditions. Taste can also vary by variety and season, and from crop to crop. We do our best to anticipate when the flavors will be available and to keep them in stock for the season, but nature can be unpredictable.
A general guide is:
Fresh Native Strawberry - mid-June
Fresh Native Red Raspberry- July and August
Fresh Native Blackberry- July
Fresh Native Black Raspberry - July
Fresh Native Peach- August
Fresh Maine Blueberry - August
Fresh Native Sweet Corn- August
Fresh Native Baked Apple- September
Fresh Native Spiced Pumpkin-September.
Do you take online or phone orders?
We do not take online orders and we do not take pre-order by phone or other means. Just walk up to the window and order cones, sundaes, frappes, to-go, and bulk sizes of your choice! We do take large bulk orders for events. If you are looking to purchase a 3 gallon box or more, please contact us through our contact page or by phone.
What flavors do you have in stock today?
We try to keep our regular ice cream, frozen yogurt, and vegan flavors in stock, but all of them can run out from time to time. To find out what flavor are available on a specific day, give us a call during business hours. Our Fresh Fruit Flavors are made only when fruit is available and sell quickly so they sell out frequently and even if we told you it was in stock, it may not be a short time later. We do not take pre-orders or save flavors for customers other than bulk event orders. Everything is sold on site on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Our vegan flavors are made with a vegan ice cream base that contains both soy and coconut ingredients. All of our products are homemade in the same machine (see allergy information above).
