The Locale of New England's Stafford Springs.

Stafford Springs was, in some ways, Connecticut's first resort town. The native Americans considered the land to be holy land. They settled nearby and came to the town's center to bathe in the healing mineral springs. Today we enjoy bringing guests to Staffordville lake and nearby Bigelow Hollow.

Sometimes when people come to the center, we go on a trip to visit the Judd's farm, where Jo and Kirby Judd make their own fresh maple syrup and grow organic crops of blueberries and peaches. Aside from the romanticism of something like that, it's sustainable - it's real.

Fall is a spectacular time to enjoy the beauty of the surrounding area.

From our mindset, we find a sincere charm in knowing all the owners of our favorite businesses, visiting our farmers and enjoying the local harvest. We remind our vistors of what its like to have an intimate connection with the land, nature and local food.
