Just as smooth as it gets!
Enjoyed a nice July day driving around northwestern Connecticut with my buddy Jim Fregeau. Along the way we stopped at Rich Farm in Oxford, a beautiful small town on the north side of the Naugatuck valley. Rich Farm is a working dairy farm that has their own creamery. Cards on the table this was my fourth or fifth visit to Rich Farm and it hasn’t disappointed yet.
We arrived about 15 minutes after they opened and the line was 25 deep. Full Covid protection in place and all customers and staff wearing masks and practicing social distance which was nice to see. The ice cream place is a nice rustic building with multiple windows, which sits adjacent to a beautiful barn with two large silos.
Take out only but they have quite a few benches and tables to enjoy this “rich,” creamy delight. They have a wide variety of flavors, all the basics and some special concoctions, cups, cones and milkshakes. I had the old standby…coffee milkshake with a scoop of chocolate. My shake with absolutely delightful. Jim, who is the biggest non-stop comedian on the planet, had a vanilla chocolate swirl milkshake which he described as “real smooth” and tasty.
Once known for being one of the least expensive places around I was surprised to find the prices to be a bit high for the serving size. That said I would not miss out on a visit to Rich Farm!
