Our Story

Nearly 50 Years of Handcrafted Ice Cream

Bart's began in Greenfield, Massachusetts with a quality standard that still drives every batch.

The Newstalgia Approach

We preserve the spirit of a classic neighborhood scoop shop while delivering a modern premium experience. That means real ingredients, meticulous batch control, and an identity that feels both nostalgic and current.

Bart's flavor development is rooted in texture, seasonality, and clean ingredient choices. We avoid artificial colors and unnecessary stabilizers to let flavor depth lead.
