It also helps me plan my weekly meals to have specific things coming from my farm share that I know about ahead of time. The weekly newsletters are always helpful, interesting and fun to read. The fact that the farm is so close to me is great too - it's convenient and I like supporting local small businesses. My toddler loves coming with me to pick up our share too, to see the animals and play with little farmer Henry!

This summer, I signed up for the CSA from Natural Earth Farms. They are certified organic. I have…read morebeen so extremely happy with what we've been receiving, both quantity and exceptional quality. Every week I leave with way more than I expected to get. The owners are both very friendly, and their farm stand in Manorville (where my pick-up location is) is easy to get to and convenient. Highlights this summer have been red and golden beets, many varieties of greens, zucchini, kohlrabi, beans, onions, herbs, the list could go on and on. Each week they send an email with what the harvest is and also helpful tips and recipes. I am so glad I chose to be a part of this, and plan to continue to be a part of their CSA for a long time!

What a great farm!! I found out about Hindinger Farms from Instagram. A food truck called Bubba's…read moreBrunch was going to be selling brunch of the food truck at the farm. You can read my review of Bubba's Brunch food truck in my review section because the food was delicious. Hindinger Farm sells fresh vegetables, fruits, jams, and other items for children, and it has a beautiful backdrop. One side of the farm overlooks the other side of the farm and the other side of the farmi overlooks this beautiful backdrop of nature on the farm. Hindubger Farms puts on live shows, and you can go shopping. There is also a playground for the kids to play. The playground is fenced in with a picnic area so parents can enjoy their food without worrying about their children's safety. You can always check their website for events, shopping, and find out which food truck will be at the farm that day. The customer service was great, and I will definitely be back.

This farmstand has the best produce in Connecticut, in my opinion…read more In fall of 2024, my husband and I made it a habit to visit a different farmstand every weekend to support our local farmers. Of all the sites we visited, this was the stand out. The fruits and vegetables are incredible... literally picture-perfect and bursting with flavor. In addition, the stand has lots of homemade products like mango salsa, horseradish mustard, and the like. These specialty items are delicious! Oh, and don't forget to pick up some of their homemade preserves. My husband and I practically overdosed on peach preserves! There is a beautiful outdoor area where kids can play, which also makes the stand a nice destination for families. Last but not least, the staff that works here is so friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed chatting with them.

Then we walked down to the lovely tulip field to pick our own tulips. While there are only about 6 rows of tulips, they are absolutely gorgeous. You're also allowed to pick the bulbs and bring them home with you, so I can't wait to try growing my own next year. It's a great way to spent an hour or so picking your own flowers and supporting a local business. I'll def have to come back for if they do other food picking later on in the year!

For several years I have been trying to convience Mark to get on board with joining a Connecticut…read moreFarm that participates in Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) without much luck. However, the stars finally aligned this summer after he finally realized two things 1) We eat a ton (not literally...ok maybe literally) of vegetables year round and 2) He saw the diversity of produce one of his co workers' received each week from a CSA at Bishop's Farm last year. CSA programs provide a great opportunity that links the farmer directly to the consumer It's a great way to cut out the middleman, develop a relationship with a local farm and get weekly or or twice monthly fresh produce during the spring and summer growing season. Over the winter we signed up and paid a membership fee to buy "shares" for the spring and summer growing season. These membership fees do vary by farm and depends on things like production costs, what produce you receive, and growing season. Beckett Farm had the option of an early Summer Share and a Regular Summer Share. The early Summer Share ran from May to the end of June. Pick up throughout the entire season was on Mondays from 4-7pm. If they had "left over or extra" we had the option to purchase additional items. From the first week we knew that we had made the right decision - fresh asparagus, lettuce, radishes and beets were filled our first box along with lemon basil - a new to me herb. The difference between fresh picked asparagus cooked on the grill and what you find in the grocery store is like night and day. During the summer we opted for the Summer Share where received a box of produce every other week. We chose this option instead of the weekly share since it is just Mark and I we were not sure 1) how much produce we would get each week and 2) how much of the food that we received we would actually eat and how much would go to waste. I am happy to report that only about 5% or less went to "waste". The rest was happily eaten and some itemzs (like the snap peas and green beans) have been frozen for winter use. The produce varied from week to week depending on what was ripe and ready to be harvested. Some weeks we had a variety of different fruits and vegetables and other weeks we had a lot of the same thing. This was trulely an adventure and definately got Mark and I out of our comfort zone. It forced us to try things (like mustard greens and japanese eggplant) that we would probably not bought on our own. That's one of the beauties of Becktt Farm and CSA program in general - the ability to get fresh fruits and vegetables and a chance to expand your culinary horizons. I also loved the fact that I received an email each Monday before our pick up to let us know what would be in our shares. I can honestly say this was an awesome experience for Mark and I and we can't wait until 2013 to sign up again!

Because I can tell you that their expansive land sitting next to the beautiful Route 146 has been the bullseye of many local developers' target for many years now.

Check out the trails on the Pinchot Preserve to see some really interesting and cool terrain. Medlyn sells mostly sell eggs, tomatoes, firewood, and a few other farm produce items.
