Jones Family Farms alone is worth the drive, and it is not even the one I’d send you to first.
Every fall I get the same question from people moving to Fairfield County: once the weather turns, what is actually worth doing out here?
Start with Silverman’s Farm in Easton. Go early, grab something from the country market, and give yourself a full hour because you are going to want it. Between the pumpkins, farm animals and fall treats, it is an easy way to spend a fall morning.
Then head to Castle Hill Farm in Newtown. It is the kind of place that makes you want to slow down and actually enjoy the season, with pumpkin picking, hayrides and a corn maze.
The other three are worth your Saturday too: Blue Jay Orchards in Bethel, Warrup’s Farm in Redding, and Jones Family Farms in Shelton.
Save this for fall, send it to someone new to Fairfield County, and make a Saturday out of it.
