Fall Daytrip of the Month - Pumpkin Patch, Corn Maze and More

Looking for a way to enjoy fall in Connecticut....aside from leaf peeping.....

A visit to Bunnell farm is something I enjoy each year. For the perfect fall day trip, take a horse driven hayride up to a "pick your own" pumpkin patch - where blue sky meets meadow dotted with orange. Search for your favorite pumpkin, as you pluck it straight from the vine. There is also a terrific barn filled with gourds, apple cider and more souvenirs. Visit this link for more info, and directions: http://www.bunnellfarm.org/ Don't forget to bring a camera or sketchbook to capture the beautiful landscape.

Litchfield County Train Service to NYC

Many clients ask about the train service to NYC. Although the farthest north stop in Western Connecticut is Danbury, most of us in Litchfield County cross westerly into New York to catch a train. Pawling and Brewster are both easy rides, or if you are further north, Wassaic may work as well. Check out this map from Metro North http://www.mta.nyc.ny.us/mnr/html/mnrmap.htm, which shows all of the various stations. There is also a schedule at: http://as0.mta.info/mnr/schedules/sched_form.cfm

You will find that the ride should be around 90 minutes. Very convenient!!!
