Milton is a tiny town in rural Sussex County, Delaware, that’s become famous in recent years for being the home town of Dogfish Head Brewery. Though the year-round population is just about 2,500 residents, in the summertime, the town swells to accommodate visitors to Dogfish Head and nearby beach towns. Hidden in the middle of this small town is a great restaurant and bakery – The Backyard. Though it’s easy to miss, you’ll want to make a point to stop here. Along with being one of the better places in the state to relax and dine, the Backyard is also home to the best bakery in Delaware.
