Ever miss the simpler days, before you had to dredge through a big box store to pick up necessities like milk? Old-fashioned farm stores in Connecticut are becoming increasingly harder to come by, but we’ve found the perfect one for you today! Shaggy Coos Farm is just the type of spot you thought had gone the way of the dodo bird. This farm store operates on the honor system and sells up freshly-made products like gelato, milk, and eggs that taste way better than the mass-produced items you’d find in most stores.
Shaggy Coos Farm is the southernmost dairy farm in New England. It's hidden away in Easton, right in the Fairfield Hills. The working dairy farm is not open to visitors, but there's a fantastic farm store you won't want to miss.
Small scale dairy that is kept sustainably is so much better for the environment (and animals!) than large-scale factory farming, plus the quality difference is incredible.

The farm store operates on the honor system, like the good old days. It's completely contactless: you walk in, choose your item(s), leave cash in a bucket (or swipe your card), and then leave.
