Make Haste! Hastings Farm, Suffield Multiple visits I’ve been happily popping along the Connecticut Cheese Trail for a decade now.

If a Museum Falls in a Valley... Vernon (Google Maps location) June 10, 2017 Would I bother with this place if not for the mighty Project Ashen Manstaver, in which I’m attempting to “complete” five towns, including Vernon?

Auerfarm State Park Scenic Reserve
”Oww-er, It’s Cold” Auerfarm Trail, Bloomfield January 5, 2016 A 2009 visit to the Auer Farm itself. So far, the winter of 2015-16 has been absurdly mild.

Tulmeadow Farm Store
Jethro Tulmeadow Tulmeadow Farm, Simsbury My title makes no sense and means absolutely nothing, but it made me chuckle quietly to myself. What’s that I say? Chuckle To Myself Quietly?
