You wouldn't think Sweet Berry Farm could conjure anything sweeter than their homegrown fruit, but Susanna's Ice Cream (founded by England-transplant Sue Williams and handmade on the farm) pulls it off with dairy-rich panache.

Autumn brings apple-cinnamon, quince and cardamom coffee, which makes even the first frost more palatable. On tough days, we like to add chunks of white chocolate to the damson plum and celebrate our riches.
