Sweet Pea Farm

March 16, 2011 by Steve 5 Comments

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! Sweet Pea Farm Cheese at House of Hayes Farm, North Granby November 21, 2010 Sometimes Hoang just wants to go for a ride.

Go Easton Young Man Easton (Google Maps location) April 10, 2010 For some unknown reason, I originally had this place written up as a non-museum and filed it away in the hinterlands of CTMQ. I don't know what I was thinking as this place (for our purposes) is a great little zoo (of sorts) to take your kids too. … [Read more...]

Beltane Farm (Closed)
