Connecticut is a tiny state packed full of shops, restaurants, and other attractions. And there are times when it seems just a little too busy. Slow things down a bit with a trip to the Secret Corner of our state. The northwest is peppered with rolling hills, working farms, and winding roads. It’s a wonderful place for a scenic drive but it’s also a destination. In the town of Norfolk, which can seem like the middle of nowhere, there’s a country store that will take you straight back to the good old days.

The Berkshire Country Store is a gathering place for the locals and a welcoming stop for visitors. Whether you need something to satisfy your munchies, a local souvenir, or just some friendly directions, you can find all that and more in this charming shop.
