Walk in through the front slider door then ring the bell at the counter. You will not wait long at all before Patrick arrives to assist you with whatever your mushroom or micro green heart desires. I am new to the world of mushrooms so I was absolutely fascinated to learn of the different types of mushrooms. Did you know there is a whole world of shrooms besides the white button, portobello or shiitake? I brought home a fresh gorgeous cluster of oyster mushrooms. But before leaving Union City Farm I had a bunch of questions for Patrick such as, "How do I cook these beautiful mushrooms?" Patrick was absolutely awesome and explained how to cook them. I then had questions about his mushroom farm. He walked through the process of growing his mushrooms from start to finish. I learned so much about mushrooms during my brief visit. It was awesome! Yes, I went straight home and cooked the oyster mushrooms exactly as Patrick instructed and they were delicious! I can't wait to go back to try the lion's mane. The interior of Union City Farm is clean, cozy, and warm. Take a look at my pictures for a peek. I absolutely recommend Union City Farm for all your micro green and shroomie needs!

Also the pumpkin/habanero hot sauce it out of this world. Small little farm stand ish with a big operation in the background. Is it pricey?

I also bought two habaneros there for a fire cider and forgot them on my counter :( .. so upset

The Alpacas are absolutely adorable, but we never seem to stop when they are having farm tours (although you can call ahead and make arrangements for anytime that is convenient for all involved). Today we stopped by, and one of the owners saw us enjoying watching his 50 alpacas, so he brought one down to meet us. We had a wonderful time talking with him. The alpacas were recently shorn, and their wool is being processed, but it should be in their shop ready for sale in the not-to-distant future.

The staff is great, I really miss CHF. Here, you feel like you have potential and that feels great. I used to be a really slow learner in horseback riding and I thought I wouldn't and probably would never be a good rider, but then my mom found CHF and i've been moving up in my riding career since. I love the hidden farm, I'd go there over anywhere on Earth any day. I would honestly suggest choosing this barn when learning to ride, all the other barns are not as good for beginners as Chester Hill Farm is.

If you want to bring a book and coffee, the environment is conducive for a relaxing retreat. They welcome dogs and have two that hangout at the farm. The lavender smell is phenomenal- and you can enjoy it throughout the farm. They have all kinds of lavender products for you to buy from honey, to live plants, and dried bundles. They also have other farm fresh veggies. This has become my new source for eggs. They are only $6 a carton and taste so much better than store bought. If you enjoy livestock, they have chickens and goats that you are able to watch eat upon request. This is beautiful addition to Waterbury and I highly recommend to anyone. The prices are affordable and the family that runs it is friendly.

Jones Winery is one of my new favorites in CT! I went for the first time the other day, and…read moreinitially went to the wrong place! Keep in mind that there is a "Jones Family Farm Pumpkinseed Hill" at 120 Beardsley Rd., and then the "Jones Valley Farm/Jones Winery" at 606 Walnut Tree Rd. My GPS accidentally took me to the Pumpkinseed Farm at first, but it wasn't a big deal because the winery is just a few minutes away. Once I was in the right place, a staff member greeted me and gave me the wine/food menu. They have a lot of different areas to sit, including a patio with tables/umbrellas (where they had live music playing), a pavilion with tables underneath, an upper patio that was covered by a pergola with leaves/vines on top, and an inside bar area with seating. The inside bar area has garage doors that were open, leading out to the upper patio. Even though it was a hot day, I sat under the pergola and it was surprisingly cool underneath! After sitting down, a staff member quickly came over and took my drink/food order. I tried a glass of the Sunshine White, which was delicious! It was on the sweeter side though. Keep in mind that they only sell wine by the glass on the menu, but they do have a store where you can buy bottles to go. I also ordered the Simply Cheese Plate, which came with sharp cheddar cheese, Jones Berry Chutney, and sea salt crackers. This was excellent! They also do have a "Light Fare" menu with things like a hummus plate, cheesecake, popcorn, etc. The service was fast and the staff were friendly. They had a "Bouquet Bar" set up where you could buy fresh cut flowers, as well as a small gift shop. Overall a very cool winery in Shelton, I would definitely recommend!

Now a retired dairy farm, Castle Hill Farm was once the second largest supplier of dairy products in Fairfield County. In spite of the farm's retired status, the Paproski Family work hard to preserve their 100+ acres through continuing the production of hay and corn fields, growing Christmas trees and seasonal vegetables. In addition to their Farm Stand, Castle Hill Farm also has a petting zoo, hayrides, a Sunflower Stroll, a Corn Maze, a Pick-Your-Own Pumpkin Patch, and other various attractions at different times throughout the year. The farm is also available to book for events such as weddings and baby showers. My family and I recently visited Castle Hill Farm to see their Sunflower Stroll. First we stopped off in their farm stand which was filled with all sorts of fresh vegetables such as tomatoes, corn, peppers, squash, cucumbers, and even local honey. We decided to purchase some delicious looking Graffiti Eggplant as well as a handmade candle that had an intoxicating vanilla aroma. Afterwards we headed into the Sunflower Stroll. Our son had so much fun looking at all of the pretty flowers and pointing out all of the bees. Co-owner Stephanie Kearns told us about other things the farm will be offering in the coming months, including hayrides, the pumpkin patch, and other Fall Fun activities. Autumn is our favorite time of year so we'll definitely be back! Get out and see the Sunflower Stroll while you still can!
