Rich Farm Ice Cream
691 Oxford Road (Rt 67)
Oxford, Connecticut 06478
When Cheryl and I pulled the car along the side of Rt 67 to photograph this absolutely gorgeous barn it started raining. I rolled down the drivers side window and was able to squeeze off two shots but it was raining to hard that I had to close the window and call it a day. Fortunately when I got home I was glad to see that I got a decent shot.

The Story of Rich Farm Ice Cream
Rich Farm Ice Cream opened for business on July 3, 1994 by David and Dawn Rich on what is known as Ajello’s Farm. The dairy farm was originated five generations ago by Dave’s great-grandfather, Raffaele Ajello, on Great Hill in Seymour, Connecticut.
In 1950, Ralph’s don Thomas purchased 100 acres in Oxford and moved his farm there. Later, in the early ’70s, grandsons Don and Dave Rich took over the dairy business and continue to operate the farm today. The ice cream shop was opened by Dave and his wife Dawn, along with their children, to enhance their already existing dairy farm.
All of the ice cream is made daily on the farm, using only the highest quality ingredients.
