    Where do I even start?! I can't say enough great things about our experience hosting our sister's…read morebridal shower at Castle Hill Farm. It was perfect in every way! The weeping willows, the beautifully decorated spacious pavillion, the goats spending some time with us, and the hospitality of the Paproski family. Diana, Stephanie, and Dan could not be more accommodating and helpful! The bride-to-be was on cloud nine and loved Diana, who thoughtfully checked in during the shower. A perfect day and venue! Beautiful memories that we will have forever!

    Castle Hill Farm is a farm that opened in Newtown, Connecticut in 1927. It was founded by the…read morePaproski Family who have owned it for four generations. 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!

Eugene designed a beautiful plan for us which we are implementing it in stages as our budget allows. Euguene walked our property, so he was able to best design with products conducive to our very windy hill top and dry shallow soil bed. The installation so far has been is exceptional and his crews are very, very hardworking and professional. We continue to work with Eugene and Kathy to make our vision of a beautiful property come to life.

    Hollandia is a local treasure. Great plants, cheerful young staff, knowledgeable botanists and…read morestaff who will happily drop their watering chores to help customers find the plant they are searching for. Always. I've been shopping here for over twenty years. Today, however, I had an unfortunate run in with Mr Grouch on his golf cart. It seems I broke the rules. When driving in the " back way" we saw the exact shrub ( a massive dappled willow /pictured below) we came to buy. So, instead of parking the car, getting a wheeled cart and returning back to the plant, we stopped, put the four foot tall shrub into the car and drove around to pay. For those who don't know the layout, Hollandia improved their parking a few years ago. Instead of limiting parking to the front of the building, they have created a massive parking lot deep into the back of the nursery where the commercial vehicles can access their big orders. It is a huge operation. This is an improvement for those of us who usually buy as much as we can fit into our cars. But, I will grant, that it also exposes the operation to potential shoplifting as cars are now permitted into the yard itself. Today, though, my 85 year old husband and I decided we could eliminate the usual park, get cart, return back across yard to get shrub, pay, return to car, load shrub. You'd have thought we sprayed Round Up on the annuals. Old Mr Grouchy explained that this is not what is done. I asked, " Do you really want me to return the plant, get a cart, pick up the plant all the way on the other side of the yard and return to the same spot where we are standing?" I thought he might be inclined to give a senior citizen like himself a bit of a break with the usual routine. Guess not. He explained that he was even older ( as he is sitting in his golf cart) and that a lot of 80 years olds shop there and observe the rules. Well...this one didn't and won't ever again. Good bye Hollandia. Love the plants, love the staff but the boss is a small minded lout. It seemed far more important for him to chastise us for breaking the rules than to have been understanding of our particular method of purchase.

    Great experience getting a Christmas tree here, even on the fairly busy weekend…read more They've got their process locked down - directing you to a parking space, picking a tree, then ticketing it, paying and getting in line to get it tied down. They had some beautiful trees - ours ended up being $100 for around 7.5 ft, which seemed reasonable. We stopped by the concessions to grab a quick bite. The mini donuts were warm and flavorful, as was the hot chocolate. The hot dogs were boiled, which was fine. We sat near the fire pit to keep warm. For 3 people it cost $40. Then we popped by the hay ride with Santa. Santa was so warm and friendly to our little one, and the ride was fun, with Christmas music playing and a bunch of pretty neat holiday themed dioramas around the property. It was a blast! After that, we hopped back in the car, and drove up to get the tree tied down. It was a super quick and easy process, and we were done in 5 mins. Great spot, will definitely be coming back annually.

    Wonderful staff and great outing for the family. We went for the Santa hayride. It was beautiful. I…read moreliked that they had fire pits to warm up and food and drinks. From entrance to exit we had a wonderful experience, especially with the staff!! Santa was great, the elves and our driver for the hayride all deserve shout outs. At one point, we had to stop the ride bc a tractor ahead of us had a flat tire and there was also a coyote spotted. He communicated and didn't ensue panic. He got us back up and running in no time!

We had had our gas…read morefireplaces cleaned a few months ago by another company but they said they were unable to replace the pilot light on one fireplace (it was broken). Rusharn took apart the unit and showed me the mess that was left inside the unit that the last company had missed, it was pretty bad. The other company had not disassembled it completely, just did a surface cleaning. Rusharn was lovely to work with, efficient, on time, and so kind with our huge dog. And he charged less to clean and replace the pilot light than the other company did just to clean the unit! I will always use Black Swan form now on. They do get booked up in the winter (because they are so good!) so I made a note in the calendar to have them come out in the summer from now on, when the wait time is less. Highly impressed!

This company said that the installer made the glass too tight and they wouldn't refund my money. I ordered a 2nd piece and had a guy install the 2nd piece. This time the guy showed me that the glass wasn't even snug in the stove. He could slide it around in the housing. This showed me it was looser than the just snug fitting I was told was how this glass should have been installed. The stove ran and then cooled down overnight. When I got the stove running again in the morning the new glass also broke. Keep in mind. I have 1 piece of original glass that was reinstalled by this technician with a new gasket at the same time as the first piece of replacement glass. That piece is perfectly fine and hasn't cracked. This company sells inferior products and should not be used.
