There was plenty of parking on both sides of the road, and there were no tickets or admission charges--you just wandered around the orchard. You could buy a bag for picking apples and pears, and they had a huge variety of apples. There was also a field filled with pumpkins of all shapes and sizes. They have a store with pies, jams, and all things apple. Prices in the store are moderate, but the quality and freshness is tops. It's a fantastic place for families, and it's a wonderful way to kick off the fall season!

They have a huge selection of pumpkins and their prices are better than some other farms. The hayride is free and it takes you around the farm. One of our favorite things is seeing the farm animals. They have 2 pigs, several sheep, a cow, several chickens, and a llama. The sheep are really cute. We've never tried the corn maze, but it looks fun! The staff at this farm are so friendly and welcoming! They are wonderful and that's one of the reasons why we come back every year! This farm is great because there's no unnecessary fees, and no large crowds. It feels very down to earth, friendly, and local. This is a great farm and I highly recommend visiting the farm when they're open in October! 5 stars

What a beautiful autumn day to visit the pumpkin patch with family. There's always plenty of…read moreparking in the lot with a special closer by handicap section. It was my cousins first time here so we all went for the $8.50 each hayride, not included with the $13 each admission. We took a walk down the corn maze and took advantage of many photo ops. I like the store options better at Silverman's farm but still love and enjoy the products at Jones. I got my mother a bag of apples, my son a bottle of apple cider, and my daughter cranberry pumpkin cookies that she ended up sharing with us. They were fresh with a clean taste. I wish I would have took advantage of the coupon given to me and took the time to purchase some pumpkins before I left, but I rushed on to their nearby winery before hitting the road home.

Heard about Jones Family Farm on a radio local spotlight for Fathers Day weekend. Normally, we…read morewould go to our normal fruit picking option in Middlefield, but you don't know what you're missing if you don't try new places, right? We pulled up to the entrance and spoke with a friendly gentleman. We found out that normally, you're supposed to book online. Otherwise, you can not pick. They started this during COVID and continued it because it helped them gauge demand, staffing, etc. We weren't aware. So MAKE SURE you do this. The only reason we were able to pick was due to cancelations as the day was "iffy" from a weather standpoint. Pricing: The prices are fair. If you pack your basket tight, it can be close to grocery store pricing, and it gives you that activity to do . They provide you with a sturdy white plastic basket (I felt like Dorothy with no Toto). They have staff everywhere to help direct you toward your correct picking areas. The areas that you can pick that day were clearly marked with a yellow flag. So when we looked across the property, we saw where we needed to go without assistance. When we arrived at the patch, the staff waiting gave our group an entire row from walkway to walkway to pick without interruptions. They let us pick from either side of the row. Note: If you can't find enough strawberries, I'm your row that day. They will let you relocate to another patch section. Now! Down to the important stuff. The strawberries. Can I just say that these were the BEST quality strawberries that I've picked at a "Pick Your Own" in Connecticut, EVER. They had a wide and plentiful selection of full red strawberries of all sizes to pick from the bushes. The bushes were lush and plenty of berries that were growing for later this month. We had no trouble filling 4 baskets full of strawberries in one row. Parking at the location is grass and clearly marked. The bathrooms are portable bathrooms. They don't have a place to eat at the pick your own, but they have a winery down the street if that needs to be part of your trip. Important note: You can't bring outside food to any of the Jones property. We didn't know that (until we saw the big/clear signs) and brought our backpack right back to the car. If you follow the rules, like we did, you will have a great 1 hour - 1 hour and a half picking strawberries. I will be back next year (with a reservation), and I will recommend to anyone not sure of which PYO to go to.

Wow - as I sit here in a parking lot 1 mile from the fair with a herd of other cars waiting for the…read morepolice to let us into the road to the fair on this opening Friday night I am amazed that i even have time to write this unbelievable review in this cell dead zone! At 6:00pm tonight we were turned away due to main st being closed for the fire-truck parade. So my wife and i pivoted and went for apps and drinks 7 min down the road in New Milford. Amazing Italian spot! So over an hour later we return to go to the fair - same cops - in disbelief we still cant go through to the fair. Cops friendly, from Southbury but just doing what they have been told. Its now 7:45 pm - still in the parking lot herd- no movement, no clue wtf! The organizers of the fair have got to be kidding! Drove over an hour to get to this fair for what I remember to have been a an amazing roast beef sandwich - now for desert! Actually my wife is just about doooone! Fuck this fair - we are going home! Bullshit! - ohhh - letting us in. 8pm

The Bridgewater Country Fair gives you the quintessential country fair experience - complete with…read moregiant parade, tractor pull competition, pie-eating contest, livestock show, flower exhibit, art exhibit, baking contest, home crafts, live music, and more. You can eat everything from fried dough (as big as your face) to BBQ chicken to chili dogs to corn on the cob - and then worry about keeping it all down as you ride the various daredevil rides (or play it safe on the Ferris wheel or merry-go-round). There's a big midway filled with games for all skill levels and promising prizes of epic proportions. It's been going on for 60+ years and continues to be a huge draw in the area. Don't let the $8 entry dissuade you if you're into this sort of thing - remember it benefits the Bridgewater volunteer fire department (you know, guys and women risking their lives for us just because). No beer, however, might legitimately dissuade you - because the only thing more entertaining than a redneck festival is a drunk redneck festival (you or them). This is a slice of Americana - and worth the experience! Well done, Bridgewater!
