I've been to this Ice Cream shop like 50 times.

I don't like to have to admit that.  I've stopped drinking.  But now I have this other problem with the damned Ice Cream.  It turns out I have some sort of actual addiction.

I remember the event that led to me falling off the Ice Cream Recovery Wagon.  I was walking down Main St. in Chatham, NY.  The old Ice Cream shop had gone out of business.  They had brown craft paper covering the windows for a long time.  I noticed they opened up and went in.  I regret to say I don't remember what Organic Ice Cream I tried first.  It was good, because I kept going back.  Apparently others did too, because they did a bit of business over the summer.

The place is called "Golden Organics Ice Cream".  They are at 59 Main St. in Chatham.  Still trying to figure out if they have a website.  But let me provide for you a summary:

1.  Espresso Crunch - This is a Coffee Ice Cream with chocolate covered espresso beans inside.  One of my favorites.

2.  Cookie Crumble - An oreo-like cookie in Vanilla Ice Cream

3.  Mint Chip - A Minty Ice Cream that is white in color (no artificial colors, apparently, either).  With chocolate chips, of course.

4.  Vanilla Chip - A Vanilla Ice Cream with chocolate chips.

5.  Peach - A Soft Peach flavor caresses the palate on this beauty.

6.  Coconut - I have a friend who adores this.  It's not my favorite, but I feel I should mention it for the coconut fans.

7.  Plain ole' fashioned Vanilla - Sometimes, it's all you want.

Conspicuously absent from this list is a Price Chopper Ginger Ale flavor.  It might conflict with their "nothing artificial" policy, but I will have to re-review the ingredients to be sure.

There is a subtlety to the flavors in these that is quite refreshing.  No artificial flavors, as I said.  The family who serves the ice are friendly and knowledgeable about their product.  Go there right now.  They have a "no pressure" policy with regards to loitering.  Almost like our famous video store, Video Visions.  Review coming up.  Except that no dogs are allowed in Golden Organics Ice Cream due to Health Department restrictions.
