Woodstock Creamery at Valleyside Farm

December 6, 2022 by Steve Leave a Comment

Big Skyr Country Woodstock Creamery at Valleyside Farm, Woodstock October 2022 Woodstock is rural with a capital R. Dirt roads and farms abound. It's firmly in Connecticut's Quiet Corner and a big part of the Last Green Valley - the swath of land in the eastern megalopolis that isn't megalopolissy. Real farms... … [Read more...]

Lost Ruby Farm

January 4, 2021 by Steve 2 Comments

Ruby Saturday Lost Ruby Farm, Norfolk April 2014 A few days after my younger son's third birthday, I took him and his brother out to the polar vortex of Connecticut. As my gift to him. A hike through Campbell Falls State Park to check out one of our state's finest waterfalls (that happens to be in Massachusetts), … [Read more...]

Hastings Farm

September 18, 2017 by Steve Leave a Comment

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...]

Cheese Boro Whey (Closed)

January 19, 2016 by Steve 1 Comment

I Guess It's The Cheese Boro Way Cheese Boro Whey, Stonington May 16, 2015 Reports say Cheese Boro Whey closed in 2018. Man, it’s been quite a while since I’ve done a new CT Cheese Trail post. (If curious, the CT Cheese Trail is not a real thing. I made it up, but I maintain a pretty good list of CT cheese … [Read more...]

Bush Meadow Farm (Closed)

July 13, 2015 by Steve Leave a Comment

The Boy Who Stared at Goats Bush Meadow Farm, Union November 2009 Bush Meadow Farm ceased the little restaurant and cheese-making operation in 2012 or so and a decade later, it re-emerged as a sort of wedding and events venue. “Today? Oh, we’re gonna take a little drive up to Union.” Not exactly words … [Read more...]

Meadow Stone Farm (Closed)

May 30, 2013 by Steve 10 Comments

MMmmm, Cat Cheese Meadow Stone Farm, Brooklyn June 9, 2012 2014 Update: This innocuous little page, which has very little useful information on it, has become one of the stranger places on CTMQ. Much of it is hidden to you readers, but if you look at the comments, they provide some clues. I have deleted many of … [Read more...]

Arethusa Farm Dairy

January 10, 2013 by Steve Leave a Comment

Haute Culture Arethusa Farm Dairy, Litchfield July 21, 2012 Stop. Read that title again. I have a ton of clever title puns on this site and every once in a while I like to give myself a little pat on the back. This is one of those times. I have three separate Arethusa pages - one for the farm itself, one … [Read more...]

Griffin Farmstead

July 16, 2011 by Steve Leave a Comment

I Wonder What Gryphon Milk is Like Griffin Farmstead, East Granby June 4, 2011 Talk about confusing. The one thing I’m sure of is that this place is indeed called Griffin Farmstead. And I know the retail area is on Copper Hill Road across from the Griffin Road intersection. And I assume that Griffin Road is named … [Read more...]
