Hastings Farm

Make Haste! Hastings Farm, Suffield Multiple visits I’ve been happily popping along the Connecticut Cheese Trail for a decade now. I must admit that I’m surprised that no such official trail yet exists. After all, everyone loves cheese. And baby cows. I first found Hastings farm in 2013 and was very … [Read more...]

Southern Star Covered Bridge

The Star of Suffield Southern Star Covered Bridge, Suffield May 2017 Every now and then I write a throwaway post on CTMQ. This is one such post. There is nothing to visit here. You really aren’t supposed to drive through this bridge (I didn’t), and really, who cares? It’s just an ornamental 42-foot long … [Read more...]

CTMQ’s Guide to Suffield

Everything Suffield I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state. I plan on “completing” Suffield CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. If … [Read more...]

Suffield’s Town Trails

Suffield’s Town Trails Suffield is a rural town; full of S(t)uff and Fields. The town’s land conservancy has a bunch of trails, and the mighty Metacomet cleaves the town, but the what about the town's land itself? They've got three trailed properties and all three are wildly different from each other. In … [Read more...]

Hilltop Farm

To Top off Vacation Week Hilltop Farm, Suffield September 6, 2010 Arrgh! This is (yet another) one of the pages on this website that make me crazy when it comes to placement. It’s not a museum, but it’s so much more than a farm and has such an interesting history – and future potential – that its borderline. … [Read more...]

Bears! In the Wild

This page has become sort of ridiculous, now that we have bears in our yard and neighborhood fairly frequently. But hey, it’s still different when I see them out on a hike, right? Right. Suffield Land Conservancy (SLC): Sydney F. Fuller Wildlife Preserve November 2017 I came across a mom and her two cubs... … [Read more...]
