David Rich
Farmer and founder
Rich Farm is a five generation dairy farm in Oxford, Connecticut whose family shop makes ice cream daily on the farm from its own herd.
Rich Farm Ice Cream began on July 3, 1994, when David and Dawn Rich opened an ice cream shop on the family dairy farm in Oxford, Connecticut.
The farm goes back five generations to Raffaele Ajello, who founded it on Great Hill in Seymour; his son Thomas moved it to 100 acres in Oxford in 1950, and grandsons Don and Dave Rich took over the dairy in the early seventies and continue to operate the farm today.
All of the ice cream is made daily on the farm using an all natural mix with no corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, growth hormones, polysorbates or phosphates. The Connecticut Department of Agriculture honoured the family for running a Dairy Farm of Distinction for beauty and high quality milk, an honour that still stands. The Oxford shop is open seven days a week, with sister shops in Bristol and Middlefield and a franchise in Placentia, California.

Will always be some of the best ice cream in ct!! The fall flavors are so good!! So many flavor options, they have sugar free too and dairy free. Lots of toppings. Even tho the line is long the wait goes by quick, you get your ice cream from the same window you order it from all at the same time so there’s no waiting after you place your order. If you’re lucky the cows will be out and you can get to see them up close. Beautiful animas!
Great variety of delicious ice cream!
Best ice cream and environment you could ask for. Wonderful people, incredible community staple.

Great real icecream straight from the cow.
Definitely a popular place! We were here maybe 30 minutes or so and the line stayed pretty darn long the whole time. The ice cream was delicious and well worth the wait in line. Everyone in our party of 7 loved their flavors. Great spot and super cute farm!
I had the sugar free sweet cream, my daughter had strawberry with real strawberries on it and my other daughter had chocolate chip. They loved it! Best Ice cream I ever had ❤️
I almost forgot to take a picture because I started eating right away.. that's how good it is! 😄🍦 This is hands down my favorite ice cream spot. My go-to is the Toasted Almond in their incredible homemade waffle cone (seriously, one of the best waffle cones I've ever had!). The cup pictured is vanilla ice cream with hot fudge and Oreo topping, and it's just as delicious. 😋 If you're ever in Oxford, CT, this place is an absolute must-try. The lines are usually long, but they're 100% worth the drive and the wait. The staff is always friendly, efficient, and thorough when taking orders, even when they're busy. I always leave a tip because they truly deserve it. Highly recommend! 💛🍨
the best ice cream in the world. one of our favorites is the razzmanian devil flavor! it’s amazing! we drive over an hour for it every time we are in ct and we even have brought this ice cream across the country stopping for ice every couple of hours to bring to a loving customer missing this ice cream.
Highly Recommend! An absolute must place to visit. Anytime we're in town it's tradition to come here. Rich Farm Ice Cream is so delicious. The staff are super friendly and efficient.
Great spot to get fresh made ice cream direct from the dairy makers. They offer an abundance of different flavors and toppings. Be prepared to wait in line as it gets long on the weekend.
Rich’s is an institution. A part of my life. I mourn when it closes for the season and rejoice when it reopens. My favorite time to go is whenever there’s no line but unless you hit it right, there’s usually a line. However, the payoff is well worth the wait! The ice cream is rich and creamy and not filled with all that artificial nonsense. Follow their social media to keep up with the daily specials.
