Now, we are an eight-window stand providing ultra-premium ice cream you cannot purchase anywhere else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to ice cream, Rota dishes out traditional family favorites to customers, including his Italian grandmother\u2019s meatballs and meat sauce. \u201cWe have tomatoes that were brought here from Italy by my grandfather many, many years ago,\u201d he added. \u201cWe also offer on-the-go meals featuring Shepard\u2019s pie, chicken pot pie, soups, grass fed beef, and our roast beef sandwiches are second to none.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The farm boasts more than 15 acres of vegetable fields, which include honeybees that provide honey for purchase in the Farm Store. Visitors can explore the property, watch the cows and goats, and in the fall, enjoy pick-your-own pumpkins and hayrides.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-table su-table-alternate\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Where to indulge<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>When to visit<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Farm Store<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Learn more<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Extra toppings<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>117 Chace Hill Road, Sterling<\/td>\n<td>Ice Cream Stand: May to August: 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., September: 11:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., October: 11:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.<\/td>\n<td>open all season, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. (All hours subject to change contingent on weather.)<\/td>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/www.rotaspringfarm.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.rotaspringfarm.com<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/rota_spring_farm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> y <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Rotaspringfarmicecream\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a><\/td>\n<td>The limited-edition and very popular lavender flavored ice cream is on deck for June and July.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Building teams and having fun on the Nashua River<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Nashoba Paddler<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nashobapaddler.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.nashobapaddler.com<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northcentralmass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Nashoba-Paddler-in-Groton-MA.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-21316 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.northcentralmass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Nashoba-Paddler-in-Groton-MA-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Nashoba-Paddler-in-Groton-MA\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.northcentralmass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Nashoba-Paddler-in-Groton-MA-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.northcentralmass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Nashoba-Paddler-in-Groton-MA-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.northcentralmass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Nashoba-Paddler-in-Groton-MA-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.northcentralmass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Nashoba-Paddler-in-Groton-MA-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.northcentralmass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Nashoba-Paddler-in-Groton-MA-45x45.jpg 45w, https:\/\/www.northcentralmass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Nashoba-Paddler-in-Groton-MA.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Located in Groton, Nashoba Paddler has been offering canoes, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboard experiences on the beautiful, friendly Nashua River for nearly 30 years.
