Ben and Jerry's and a lot of regional makers rule the day.

There is a dairy that is just a few miles from the Canadian border in Maine (Houlton Dairy) that makes GRAPE NUT ice cream. It used to be a staple of my misspent youth, but that's the only place I've been able to find it. Whenever I am in Aroostook County I nab some of that good stuff!
