Connecticut. Personally, I love 'homemade' ice cream and The Big Dipper in Prospect is a favorite. If you're an ice cream snob like me, I'm sure you'll find this list of the best places to go for fresh ice cream in Connecticut very helpful. Enjoy!Rich Farm Ice Cream
Located at 691 Oxford Road in Oxford, Rich Farm Ice Cream is a CT favorite. This country style ice cream shop has original flavors like Cowabunga (coconut ice cream with pineapples), Cow Pie (chocolate ice cream with walnuts, raisins and chunks of chocolate) and Purple Cow (black raspberry ice cream with chocolate chunks.) Beginning in October, they have a cozy indoor dining room where patrons can enjoy a menu of soup and sandwiches. This CT ice cream shop is open from 11:30 am to 9:00pm 7 days a week.
