*****Voted the best ice-cream in Connecticut. Made fresh on the farm. Enjoy a huge menu of ice-cream flavors while enjoying the bucolic scenery of a family run farm while cows roam in the fields surrounding the creamery. http://www.courant.com/features/food/hc-fea-ferris-acres-thrillist-best-ice-cream-20180514-story.html

A great family run restaurant. Awesome prime rib on the weekends as well as fresh seafood. Most deserts are made in house and are delicious. Prices are reasonable as well.

Main Street Ridgefield

What you envision when you think of a Newengland town. Take a stroll in starting at the Altrich Museum and work your way back from the Prospector theater to shop both sides of the street. Don't miss Deborah Ann's Sweet Shoppe. Prime Burger, Silver Lining Consignment, their famous hot dog vender, and many boutiques. $$$ Pricier than Bethel
