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

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?
