At Beavertides Farm, Marleen van Gulick and Dan Carr are converting sunshine into sustenance. Through innovative agricultural practices, nose-to-tail grass-fed meat production, educational events, and a colorful social media presence, this farm is reimagining what a modern day community could be.

In Upstate New York alone, there is Storm King Art Center, PepsiCo’s sculpture gardens, and Art Omi. Litchfield County’s take on expansive sculpture gardens lies quietly off the beaten path at Edward Tufte’s Hogpen Hill Farms in Woodbury.

“If we lived closer, we’d come here every week,” says my wife Melinda as we sit in a booth in Vientiane Thai Cuisine in Torrington happily slurping broth and rice noodles. “And the kids would love it.” As with so many things, she is right. The food here is absolutely delicious.

We created a list of fun activities to do this weekend, June 30-July 2nd!

For me, the soul of Greece sings from its kitchens; traditionally from the hands of the grandmothers and more recently from the hands of talented chefs that have been taking the country’s cuisine to new, unexpected heights.

What’s for dinner at the end of a long summer day? Just about anything your taste buds crave because The Local Gourmet Kitchen & Market in Southbury prides itself on providing customers with a large selection of fresh, high-quality homemade food. 

Whether you enjoy imbibing a malty farmhouse ale, a sour fruity gose, or a hoppy India pale ale (IPA), Litchfield County’s breweries offer a beer flavor for every palate.
