This year, the CT NOFA Farm and Agriculture Tour will visit three different member farms within Windham County on Saturday, June 27th from 10 am to 4 pm:

Bird Song Farm is primarily a vegetable farm situated in Hampton, Connecticut. Plan to visit the extensive rows of delectable crops on the beautiful 4 acre farm with Bruce Kittredge. The family regularly attends the Coventry and Storr's Farmer's Markets and sells fresh vegetables to restaurants. Also plan to visit the farm's chickens and goats! Enjoy some of the fresh mixed greens included in our lunch, all within the same afternoon.

Still River Mill in Eastford is run by Greg and Deirdre Driscoll. Their fiber mill is dedicated to serving small scale farm and animal owners nationwide. They strive to produce quality fiber products, on a cottage industry scale, as sustainably as possible. Still River Mill can process qiviut, buffalo, cashmere, yak, alpaca llama, angora, mohair and even pet fiber! Their operation is truly a valuable local resource.

Baldwin Brook Farm in Canterbury is home to Chris and Mavis Newton. Their picturesque farm is home to many milking cows and chickens, providing raw milk and fresh eggs. View the pasture by tractor, tour the milking facilities, enjoy an egg harvesting eggsperience and butter making by Mavis (to be served on top of Chris' homemade bread). Plus, participate in these features presented by members of the CT Farmstead Dairy Alliance: Sustainability and Marketing of The Family Farm: A Market Niche for The Local Community, From The Dirt to the Table: The True Organic Farm Garden and Orchard, The Magic and Majesty of Cheese, and The Importance of Grazing on Milk Quality: The Grassier The Milkier.

A delicious light lunch will be catered by long time CT NOFA member Sue Cadwell of Health in a Hurry in Fairfield.  Many items on the menu will be both local and organic. Beverages and dessert have been generously donated by Whole Foods.

Participants will drive themselves between farms. Carpooling is encouraged. Bring a cooler to take advantage of this opportunity to buy delicious local products right at the farm's doorstep.

Fee (includes a light lunch): $40 for 1 or $70 for 2 CT NOFA members, $50 for 1 or $90 for 2 for non-members. Children under 12, $10. We encourage you to join and enjoy a full year of member discounts!
