Connecticut Farm Stands | New England Foliage Season | Fresh Produce

Driving along the local back roads and watching the colors of the foliage and trees change - we just try to stop at local farm stands! As a former Connecticut Ambassador under the CTVISIT program, I'm excited to let you know about all of our charm, heritage, adventure, fun and incredible natural beauty. Fall in New England is my favorite season!

Agritourism - Farm Fun in Connecticut

There's nothing like fresh-pressed cider, fresh produce, fall vegetables, apple fritters, donuts, or perhaps Apple Pandowdy, gorgeous mums, Autumn flowers and plants to take home! Who can resist the beautiful Autumn door wreaths and decorations!

You'll also find apples, pumpkins, fresh fall produce and farm-fresh canned and bottled salad dressings such as vidalia onion, dijon honey, balsamic vinegar, farm-fresh honey, jellies, jams, pickled beets, dill garlic pickles, bakery fresh breads including banana nut, pumpkin, peach melba and orange cranberry nut. There's assorted pies to choose! Some all-time old fashion pies are deep dish apple, deep dish apple pie, dutch apple, apple peach, pumpkin, chocolate cream, peachberry, strawberry, rhubarb, apple caramel nut and lemon meringue.

The pick-your-own orchards are in full bloom with apples in fall and strawberries during spring!
