The tour included free samples. It’s short but fun. I’ve done it twice, about 20 years ago now. Dammit, just realized I’m old.

I grew up in that area, and half of my friends worked at the Waterbury location when it was their primary factory. The amount of free ice cream we all enjoyed was staggering.
Ben & Jerry’s also hosted yearly music festivals at a Stowe ski slope in the 90s, with big named artists (Black Crowes, 10k Maniacs, BB King, etc.). It was awash in healthy food, civic education, advancements in green energy, art installations, local breweries, and, of course, tons of free ice cream. Magical.
