The power of the Press?
Ended the holiday weekend with a trip to Rich Farm in Bristol, which is an interesting city that has a mixture of farm land, suburbia and industry. This is one of three Rich Farm ice cream farm stands around the state and the ice cream is every bit as good as the creamery in Oxford.
What made today special was the chance to see my good friend Annette, her husband Lew and their adorable daughter Jordan. Rich Farm has a wide variety of flavors including the basics and some genuine specialties. We chose a variety of flavors from Maureen’s German chocolate brownie on a hand pressed waffle cone. Annette had caramel swirl on a waffle cone while Lew enjoyed some sweet cream on a sugar cone.
Jordan and I went with coffee milk shakes although not without some hand ringing. I usually add a scoop of chocolate to my shake but at first they couldn’t do two flavors but after a few minutes the nice young lady Haley came back and said they would be happy to add the chocolate. I suspect they realized this was not a big challenge and not the mention of the ice cream quest that I blog about that persuaded them.
Like the mothership, Rich Farm makes an ice cream with 17 percent butter fat that makes it rich and creamy delight and worth the trip to Bristol.
Bristol is Annette’s home town and this was a place known then as Minor’s Farm, that she visited throughout her childhood and then recently with Jordan and Lew until they were recently acquired by Rich Farm. Judging by the traffic and location, I would say they are off to a good start!
