Life can be hard. And summer in Connecticut can be warm. You deserve a moment to relax, and what better way to relax than with a frozen dessert from an old-fashioned ice cream parlor? Rich Farm Ice Cream Shop has three locations in Connecticut (plus one across the country in California!). We love the nostalgic charm of the Oxford location. The wooden shack has delightful outdoor dining that’s just perfect when the sun is shining. The scoops are large and the flavor is plentiful. This place will satisfy your sweet tooth like nowhere else!

The Oxford location was the first of the Rich Farm Ice Cream Shops. It was opened up in 1994 by Dave and Dawn Rich as part of their dairy farm.

All of the ice cream is made daily on site, using fresh ingredients produced at the farm. There's such a huge difference in quality between this slow-churned freshly-made ice cream and that which you'd find in a store!

There's a huge variety of flavors, with rotating daily specials so you'll never get bored. You'll find no-sugar-added and dairy-free options so that everyone can enjoy the treats here.

The lines can sometimes get long, particularly on an especially hot day, but they tend to move pretty quickly.
