This morning, our neighbors, friends, families, and community leaders gathered to remember the tragic events of September 11, 2001, and to honor the strength, courage, and unity that followed.

May we always remember those we lost and never forget the spirit of togetherness that brought us closer in the days that followed.

Never forget.

There’s a local farm growing some pretty amazing things right here in town, and chances are you may not have discovered it yet.

What began in their backyard in 2024 has grown into a veteran owned family farm producing fresh vegetables, beautiful cut flowers, and pasture raised poultry, all right here in New Milford on the stunning Finnegan's Farm, West property.

Their vegetables and flowers are grown using no till practices, without fertilizers or pesticides, and their farm fresh chicken includes whole birds, individual cuts, ground chicken and specialty sausages.

Happy Fresh Friday!

If you’ve never stopped by Sullivan Farm, it’s worth a visit!
This beautiful piece of New Milford has been part of our community since 1841. Today the 109 acre property is owned by the Town of New Milford and continues to be a place where people, particularly youth can connect with the land.

The farm stand is a great example of that, offering fresh local produce while keeping a little piece of New Milford’s farming tradition alive. (See photos for some items available this week, to include freshly dug potatoes, sweet corn, and peaches)

Sullivan Farm is also home to hands on farming programs for local young people, blacksmithing classes, beekeeping, walking and cross country ski trails, and the Great Brook Sugar House. There’s a lot of history here, to include recent successes as evidenced by a host of awards from this years Bridgewater, CT Annual Country Fair.

Stop by the farm stand, take a walk, and enjoy one of those places that makes New Milford feel like home!
