Now LIVE! ADK Talks podcast: Tracking Legends -- Sasquatch in the Adirondacks
In this episode of ADK Talks, we have an intriguing conversation with Noel Jennings, a third-generation proprietor of one of the Adirondack’s most beloved ice creameries, Custard’s Last Stand in Long Lake.
This iconic Central Adirondacks ice cream stand has been serving visitors and the community since 1958 (over 65 years).
We talk to Noel about what it takes to keep a family business alive for over six decades, the eternal appeal of soft serve ice cream, why spruce gum may be the next kombucha, macha, turmeric, or chaga, his grandmother’s amazing pun-making talents, and what’s next for Custard’s Last Stand.
The gorgeous architecture of Custard's Last Stand in Long Lake.
We also discuss swirling the perfect cone, ice climbing, scuba-diving in Adirondack lakes, mid-century modern architecture, and life in a northern town.
