About 100 supporters of the gathered on a sunny Sunday to enjoy gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches from the Caseus truck from New Haven and deserts from Jordan Caterers of Cheshire.
A teacup auction, children's activities and a hayride were offered as were tips on how to make sun tea from environmental educator Julia Meurice. Those making tea were able to use fresh-cut herbs from the farm's garden and taste test a variety of flavors from chamomile to chocolate mint.
Upcoming free events at the farm are:
