SPRINGFIELD ‒ Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, the duo behind Vermont-based Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream will be in Massachusetts next week to "Bernstorm" the state for U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders', I-Vt., Democratic presidential campaign.

With recent polls forecasting a tight race between the Vermont senator and fellow White House hopeful Hillary Clinton in Massachusetts' March 1 Democratic primary election, the Ben and Jerry's co-founders will travel across the Bay State in an effort to scoop up support for Sanders' campaign.

Cohen and Greenfield, who have campaigned for the Vermont senator in New Hampshire, Iowa and South Carolina, will kick-off their Massachusetts trip with a Sunday evening stop in Pittsfield, where they will host an ice cream social at Shire City Sanctuary from 7 to 8:30 p.m.

The two will then head to Boston to serve up free "Bernie's Yearning" sundaes outside their Newbury Street scoop shop from noon to 2 p.m. on Monday.

On Tuesday, Cohen and Greenfield will meet with Boston business leaders about why they should support Sanders' presidential campaign. The event will take place at the Lenox Hotel beginning at 8 a.m.

They are expected to return Western Massachusetts on Wednesday afternoon for a campaign-related event at a local college. Details for the event have yet to be finalized.

Later on Wednesday, Greenfield will stop by Sanders' Springfield campaign office for a 6 p.m. get-out-the-vote "Bernstorm."

Cohen unveiled the "Bernie's Yearning" ice cream flavor in late-January. Just 40 pints of the concoction, which tops a simple mint ice cream with a thick disc of solid chocolate, were created and 25 of them were donated to Sanders' campaign.

Ben and Jerry's distanced itself from the product, tweeting from its official account that the flavor was created by Cohen as a citizen and the company was not involved.
