The quality of the trees is great - 5-6 years and we've never had a bad tree. They're full, look green and healthy until the New Year and smell amazing. As a plus, there's complimentary hot cider and popcorn, which my kids love. Something I can say yes to after picking out our tree and it also provides a snack for the ride home.

Pumpkin Town is mostly a pre-K through elementary age playground but adults have fun too. There are…read moreendless photo stops: come back to the big pumpkin back drop if there's a line when you enter, go straight to face painting before that line grows. Backdrop cutouts, the tractor, and a grow line are other photo stops that keep you coming back. One heads up that admission doubles on weekends, but $8 per person wasn't terrible, and there's a discount if you buy hayride and Pumpkin Town tickets together. Pumpkin facts are all over pumpkin town (pumpkins are hand-painted, costumed each year, and stored nightly, etc.) and it's a fun scavenger hunt for these facts. Jumping houses, tubes, and interactive houses were the best parts for our little one. Credit/debit users, remember to bring cash for postcards as you can send them postmarked from Pumpkin Town, autumn treats like cider donuts and popcorn at the snack stand, and the catapults over the pond aimed at Red Sox and Yankees targets (must be a Mets Family here!). Also remember a couple bucks to cash for the breast cancer donation box, in memory of Sandy herself. Having to bring cash isn't my favorite but there was a farm stand and snack bar with souvenirs where cards could be used. Pumpkin Town is part folk art installation, part amusement park, part harvest fair, and a fun tradition. I only wish they had a Santa Town each winter...

She did a beautiful job and my family and I were all very pleased. I am back here to give another review of Bella Flora CT. The love of my life passed away recently I went right back to see Mary. Since the funeral was just on December 10, 2024 we went with using Christmas colors. The spray was simple and elegant with pine needles ,spruce,etc, White mums, holly sprigs and Red roses arranged throughout.

I was in Connecticut for a conference and we were heading back to Massachusetts. I saw a sign for…read morefarm fresh eggs at the hardware store so of course I stopped and I purchased some. While I was speaking to the shop keep, they told me about a nice farmstand down the street on my way home so of course I pulled over as soon as I saw it to acquire some great fresh fresh produce before heading back to Boston. The stand was of a smaller size but very well arranged with super curb appeal. I would give it 100 out of 100. There were little sections that were very decorative but for sale. They comprised of all the different types of squashes pumpkins, and flowers with a cart in the middle for doing business. The woman running the farmstand was a little startled because the first thing I did as an Elite Yelper was to whip out my phone and start taking photographs. I don't think this is happened here before as she thought there was an issue ha ha. Promptly I introduced myself and explained that Im an Elite Yelper and what an Elite Yelper actually does. I explained that I was going to take a few photographs and then I would purchase some vegetables. After my explanation, she was relieved and turned out to be quite the sweetheart. Of course I asked a lot of questions like where the vegetables were grown etc. She was extremely happy to have a conversations about everything she had for sale . She had quite the , two different types of corn, fresh picked tomatoes, beautiful bulbs of garlic, red onions, fingerling potatoes, and so much more. I wanted to buy everything at the stand, but of course I had to limit myself. I decided to take home a dozen corn still in the husk, five large freshly picked tomatoes, five large bulbs of garlic, and a bag of multicolored fingerling potatoes which I handpicked to get an even amount or as close to of the different colorings (yellow, red, dark purple). If you are ever in Stafford, I would highly suggest to stop by this roadside farmstand. You will 100% walk away with something fantastic and delicious. At the time of writing this review, I have only indulged in the tomatoes, which were delicious. They tasted as if I picked them off the vine, cut them up, put a little sea salt on them from my backyard. Again this is a five star farm stand. Save the local grower, buy locally grown produce.
