Lachat Town Farm

Dec 2019

We’ve been to 2 events here- a cooking class & the candy cane hunt. They were both fantastic & such a lot of fun! They don’t overbook & there’s a welcoming relaxed atmosphere! So blessed to live close to this farm

Had a very enjoyable afternoon at the "Lachat Town Farm" Saturday listening to the awesome Grateful Dead tribute band, "Terrapin". Two well run food trucks As night fell a bonfire was lit. East Rock Brewing sold out of some interesting craft beer. But not before I had a couple. I would guess the crowd at about 200 people: Families, Dead-heads, and once upon a time Dead heads (such as myself) were all loving the time there. Some picnic tables fixed in place. many people brought in their own beach chairs coolers and even small tables. Lots of space remaining. Large grassy area where kids at the age when they need to run around could do so without being a problem for everyone else. A few people walked up a big hill, to the rear of the field, for a few minutes away from the crowd while overlooking the entire venue. One (of many) songs performed, took me back 40 years. When it was over , feeling deeply nostalgic, I slowly turned to check on my food truck pizza order. A woman probably my age said "You look like you need a hug". Never ran out of people to talk with. including the drummer and bass guitar player of the band. Would like to have brought someone here with me- but it wasn't necessary. The place really has a winning formula for an afternoon of music. Looking forward to another event at the Lachat Town Farm.

Attended a fund-raising concert here with Jon Herington and Jim Beard of Steely Dan. It's a beautiful space and it was really incredible to see the community of people who care about preserving it. Kudos to the volunteers who have worked so hard to preserve the land and the buildings. I've happily put myself on the mailing list to see what they'll do next.
