The Rustic Berkshire Country Store In Connecticut Is A Charming Day Trip Destination

Connecticut is a tiny state packed full of shops, restaurants, and other attractions. And there are times when it seems just a little too busy. Slow things down a bit with a trip to the Secret Corner of our state. The northwest is peppered with rolling hills, working farms, and winding roads. It’s a wonderful place for a scenic drive but it’s also a destination. In the town of Norfolk, which can seem like the middle of nowhere, there’s a country store that will take you straight back to the good old days.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/

The Berkshire Country Store is a gathering place for the locals and a welcoming stop for visitors. Whether you need something to satisfy your munchies, a local souvenir, or just some friendly directions, you can find all that and more in this charming shop.

The quaint shop is filled with the necessities you might need...

... And some unnecessities that you just might want.

But the best part of the country store is its lovely little restaurant. Tables with mismatched chairs create an endearing dining area.

Or you can choose a seat at the bar right next to the deli counter.

The deli creates a full line of Dagwood-worthy sandwiches and wraps piled high with fresh ingredients. Build your own or choose one of their specialty creations.

You can also find plenty of hot foods like burgers, dogs, soups and other delicious signature items like southwest stuffed peppers.

Open at 7 a.m. most days, the store is also a fabulous destination for breakfast. Serving eggs, bacon, homefries, breakfast sandwiches, and a heavenly assortment of pastries, there's no better place to kick off your day.

Stop in for a local jar of maple syrup, some homemade candies, a milkshake, or a delicious meal. The Berkshire Country Store has a little bit of everything served up with a smile.

Grab some sandwiches from this delightful country store and then head out to this nearby waterfall for picnic lunch with an unbelievable view!
