Easton Farm Tour

This celebration of Easton, a local and sustainable farming community within Fairfield County CT, is a self-guided tour of Easton farms.  This free event begins at the Easton Firehouse Green, One Center Road, Easton, Connecticut. Here visitors pick up a copy of the Easton Garden Club’s Farm Map- “Easton is a Farmers Market” and check the event board  for up to the minute listing of events and incentives offered by farmers and community organizations at the different locations throughout day.  

Fun for the whole family! Come and enjoy the many farming delights that Easton has to offer and learn where your food comes from. Enjoy pony rides, hayrides, petting zoo, food tastings, greenhouse tours, and picking veggies and fruit fresh from the farm.  We have some added surprises this year, including a premiere of the recently released film “Keeping on the Sunny Side” on Easton Farming showing at the Easton Public Library.

Aspetuck Valley Apple Barn, Buttonwood Farm, Candee Farm, Gilbertie’s Herb Gardens, Gray Friesian Farm, Historic Bradley-Hubbell House Barn and Historic Gardens, J&L Orchids, Lion Hill Farm, Maple Row Growers, Maple Row Tree Farm, Sherwood Farm, Silverman’s Farm, Sport Hill Farm are a few of the farms and farm stands to visit.
