Mickelberry Forest Gardens

2 sites ¡ RVs, Tents4 acres ¡ Newtown , CT
The meadow we occupy was once the farmers property that I grew up next to at my parents farm house.  When he wanted to sell his property he offered it to us for purchase at a fair price if we would not develop more than we needed to live here.  We maintained the meadow adjacent to our property and have kept it as an agricultural site.  We have had our son who is a permaculture expert develop an edible forest garden and a unique diversified small orchard so we can eat and share healthy organic fruits and vegetables while helping our environment and wildlife and educating others to do the same.  It is expensive to live in Newtown but we love our property.  We want to teach others to grow food from their land while helping to support us keeping our adjacent property agricultural and undeveloped.  Our property has provided many happy gatherings and events and we love to share it with others.  Let us know if there is anything special we can help provide for you.  Come visit Mickleberry!!!   Learn more about this land:Thank you to all the wonderful friends we have met through this amazing program.  We regret that our community at this time does now allow for "transient" renting of property and I unknowingly was operating outside of the zoning rules and regulations of our town.  Please continue to get outside and enjoy all the beautiful places and spaces this world has to offer and keep in touch.  We love you all!  Thank you for your support!   Bill and Amy Enjoy your stay next to our edible forest garden on the Edge of a beautiful meadow along side the orchard of berries, nuts  and fruit trees.  Various seasons will offer you an opportunity to pick your own breakfast in our maturing establishment.   You can enjoy exploring, and examining our 7 year permacultuire food forest with chestnut seedlings already tall enough to climb , 10-foot hazels bearing buckets of nuts and a different selection of raspberries, blackberries, gooseberry, currents, golden berries, service berries and Mulberries.      Enjoy a stroll   through the meadow trail to breath in  morning views and evening fireflies and stars.  This camp area is very private but household amenities are not far away if desired.  This site is much more private than Mickelberry Forest Garden Site and the beautiful mountain view is only a small step away.  One mile away we offer nearby blue mark trails, mountain biking, lake and outdoor activities are at your fingertips and your hosts will be happy to provide any assistance needed to find or enjoy these opportunities.  The Creamery (Ferris Acres) is one of the best farm ice cream shops in the East.  We can provide breakfast upon request from our free range chickens on our kiwi lined deck with beautiful mountain views.     Come and enjoy the croak of the bullfrog and the sound of the crickets.  We are new and growing our amenities so at this time check the overview for available amenities but you can guarantee we won't disappoint.  Come visit Mickelberry Forest Garden and The Meadow's Edge our newest most private site!!!

The best camping near Weir Farm National Historic Site guide

Overview

About

For the aspiring artist in your life, consider a stop at Weir Farm in Connecticut. This 60-acre park sits on lush, green farmland, contains distinctive stone walls. It's also the home of painter Julian Alden Weir, an American impressionist painter. The old farm takes you back in time more than a century to show you how to think and feel like an artist.

Walk on the grounds to see Weir Pond, a beautiful example of landscape art. The gardens and barns on the property are also meticulously kept. Tours of the house and the visitor's center are open from May to October, whereas the grounds of the park are open all year. Explore rolling hills and fields of rural Connecticut, far away from the huge metroplex of New York to the south.

Inside the home, see Weir's studio and some original works of art. This used to be his summer home away from his busy life in New York City. He and his wife turned this home-away-from-home into an artist's retreat where painters, sculptors, and weavers could find their inspiration again. Much in the same way, several artists-in-residence take up Weir's mantle at the Weir Farm Art Center. Artists have been coming here for more than 120 years to find their one true place in the art world.

If you're lucky, you might get to see a workshop on how to make an impressionist painting. Feel free to bring a canvas, a set of paints and find your own inspiration at the park.

Nearby campsites give you an opportunity to explore this area's idyllic setting. Summer and early fall months, from May to October, are best for a visit. Meanwhile, fall time offers the splendor of foliage tours and drives in early October.
