Thorncrest Farm and Milk House Chocolates

Connecticut


Imagine if you could hand-pick the cows you wanted to produce the milk you use to make daily batches of delectable chocolates. Well, that's what Kimberly and Clint do here! A few generations of contented bovines have been bred for particular taste traits, and the final results are mouthwatering truffles, caramels and dusted almonds that won't last the car ride home.

In Goshen, just east of Cornwall Bridge.
