It’s official: the summer is upon us, schools are closed, farms are open for visitors and farmers’ markets are following right behind. And what a bushel full of local treats awaits you.

Southern New England has always been known for its coastal bounty – great beaches, shoreline villages and seaports, great restaurants serving the best in New England seafood. Did we mention the nation’s largest and earliest collection of historic places and artifacts? Inland, of course, the parade continues - of small towns, shoppes and….yes, our very own local brand of farms, orchards and vineyards. Ever more of them. With more to offer every visitor.

This summer, New England FarmWays is launching a campaign to celebrate The Farm - Southern New England’s Next Great Destination. We invite you – and will help you – to explore our agricultural heritage along with your local foods, wines and tasty treats. Now, through Christmas, discover the many things you and your family can enjoy by stopping at a local farm, vineyard or orchard. Meet our local farmers, wine makers and processors - selling fresh produce and creating value added products from locally grown commodities (apples to apple sauce e.g.).

This summer, right here, you will find more FarmWays member places, and NOW FEATURING - links to other farms in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island as well. Want to put an itinerary together for your next farm visit? Go to our farm pages and also stop in at VisitNewEngland.com – Google’s  #1 website for New England attractions - and go ahead, make your day! Or week. Or weekend.

If not for the first time, then re-visit southern New England’s coastal and inland farms and discover what we believe is the “next great destination” in a region chock full of them!

Safe travels!
