Looking for a Delicious Experience? Try Agritourism in Connecticut!
What’s better than knowing where your food comes from? Knowing how it’s made! Connecticut is proud of all the locally-sourced food that can be found in its communities. And now, residents and visitors don’t just get to taste the local eats, but they can see for themselves how it’s grown/made. Enjoy a few of Connecticut’s cool “agritourism” experiences for yourself.

She visited key sights around Connecticut’s northeast region on her way to check out some of the most scenic and historic barns in the state.
