Castle Hill Farm is a farm that opened in Newtown, Connecticut in 1927. It was founded by the…read morePaproski Family who have owned it for four generations. Now a retired dairy farm, Castle Hill Farm was once the second largest supplier of dairy products in Fairfield County. In spite of the farm's retired status, the Paproski Family work hard to preserve their 100+ acres through continuing the production of hay and corn fields, growing Christmas trees and seasonal vegetables. In addition to their Farm Stand, Castle Hill Farm also has a petting zoo, hayrides, a Sunflower Stroll, a Corn Maze, a Pick-Your-Own Pumpkin Patch, and other various attractions at different times throughout the year. The farm is also available to book for events such as weddings and baby showers. My family and I recently visited Castle Hill Farm to see their Sunflower Stroll. First we stopped off in their farm stand which was filled with all sorts of fresh vegetables such as tomatoes, corn, peppers, squash, cucumbers, and even local honey. We decided to purchase some delicious looking Graffiti Eggplant as well as a handmade candle that had an intoxicating vanilla aroma. Afterwards we headed into the Sunflower Stroll. Our son had so much fun looking at all of the pretty flowers and pointing out all of the bees. Co-owner Stephanie Kearns told us about other things the farm will be offering in the coming months, including hayrides, the pumpkin patch, and other Fall Fun activities. Autumn is our favorite time of year so we'll definitely be back! Get out and see the Sunflower Stroll while you still can!

One elderly woman in particular who seemed to have been a manager of some sort chased me out when I didn't purchase anything and yelled at me for attempting to leave through the wrong door. Just because I wanted to get out of there, she raised her voice in a nasty tone that I will break the door and cornered me literally with her broom. Completely ridiculous. I will deter everyone I know not to step foot in that establishment based off of other things I've heard about her as well, they do not deserve a dime of your money.

Great experience getting a Christmas tree here, even on the fairly busy weekend…read more They've got their process locked down - directing you to a parking space, picking a tree, then ticketing it, paying and getting in line to get it tied down. They had some beautiful trees - ours ended up being $100 for around 7.5 ft, which seemed reasonable. We stopped by the concessions to grab a quick bite. The mini donuts were warm and flavorful, as was the hot chocolate. The hot dogs were boiled, which was fine. We sat near the fire pit to keep warm. For 3 people it cost $40. Then we popped by the hay ride with Santa. Santa was so warm and friendly to our little one, and the ride was fun, with Christmas music playing and a bunch of pretty neat holiday themed dioramas around the property. It was a blast! After that, we hopped back in the car, and drove up to get the tree tied down. It was a super quick and easy process, and we were done in 5 mins. Great spot, will definitely be coming back annually.

Shakespeare once penned "to thine own self be true." i would pen this as "keep thine own manure to thyself." have been going here for years BECAUSE ITS UNUSUAL.BECAUSE ITS HIGH END. yet nature called this time. when i asked about a restroom they pointed me to the back where the porta potties are. the first one i opened was simply a predessor of what was to come. the other two left me w an impossible choice. i was trying not to dry heave entering the chosen one which was a slim comparison of the lesser of the other 2 evils. by the time i got to the front entrance where the car was parked i was bent over the car holding onto dear life with persistant vomiting onto the gravel. i felt so pretty. my friends would not go to lunch as planned as their description of my dryheaving in the car & my green face did not lend itself to eating. to not describe these portolets is not spareing you dear reader, but myself from the visuals that would prompt unyielding dryheaving every. single. time. that i think about this.my problem with this: i have a pretty strong stomach. my dad in the medical field would come home for dinner & while we were eating could easily talk about such subjects as pus. im no stranger when it comes to intestinal fortitude. these portolets were otherwordly disgusting, which to me were a complete insult to their customers who are spending small fortunes. i have never left there spending less than $300.00. and I'm on a pretty tight budget but I plan & save to come here. and most of their customers did not fall off the turnip truck or are backwoods farmers looking for something "purdy." show some respect to your customers. you want me to spend $250. 00 on some little garden ornament then clean up your act. make sure you use a real bathroom before coming here.

Rusharn took apart the unit and showed me the mess that was left inside the unit that the last company had missed, it was pretty bad.

And he charged less to clean and replace the pilot light than the other company did just to clean the unit! I will always use Black Swan form now on. They do get booked up in the winter (because they are so good!) so I made a note in the calendar to have them come out in the summer from now on, when the wait time is less. Highly impressed!
