Culinary Bloom: Morris, CT’s New Food Scene is Thriving

Culinary Bloom

Something delicious is happening in Morris. Once a sleepy town known mainly for rolling hills and quiet charm, it’s fast becoming a hotspot for food lovers thanks to a burst of creative culinary energy centered around Pasture at South Farms. 

Anchoring the movement is South Farm Kitchen, setting up an adorable food truck that will serve up inventive bites for the season and offer on-site catering. They’re joined by bold, flavorful newcomers like The Codfather, a seafood lover’s dream, and the beloved returning Hindsight BBQ truck, where smoky, slow-cooked meats steal the show. Beyond the Pasture, the revitalization continues. Penny Farthing Tea Room brings vintage English charm and scones, while the new La Güera Mexican Cantina delivers authentic cuisine, a full bar, and a lively patio perfect for summer nights. The seasonal Popey’s deli and ice cream shop has expanded its space, making locals rediscover the art of the perfect sandwich. Located right behind Popey’s,  don’t miss the new Bill’s Brick Oven Pizza—wood-fired and packed with flavor, available for takeout only. Pair any meal with a bottle from Wise Old Dog Wine Shop, or pick up seasonal produce at Hungry Reaper Farm Stand, open Friday evenings and Saturday mornings. Morris may be small, but its flavor is big—and growing.
