About this Location

All parts of the farm are open to pedestrians with the exception of the cultivated areas - the Community Garden and the large field near CT-87. The boundaries of the property are marked with white- painted blazes. Pets must be kept on leash, and owners should clean up after their pets. Horses must be kept on the Red Multi-Use Trail. Bikers may only use the Red Multi-Use Trail. No motor vehicles of any kind are allowed beyond the parking areas.

Notable Trails

  • Habitat Loop (purple): This mostly level trail passes through a variety of habitats: vernal pool wetlands, early succession fields, and hardwood forest - great for observing wildlife.
  • Ridgetop Trail (yellow): This trail climbs to the top of a rocky ridge with nice views in winter, then descends fairly steeply to a small hemlock grove and then returns below the cliffs.
  • Red Multi-Use Loop: This trail follows old farm roads along the edge of an old hayfield and then to the top of a ridge. A nice intermediate trail for cross-country skiing
  • Trailhead Connector: This trail is mowed through a meadow, but is not blazed.
