Description
It took five grants to acquire this 45-acre farm (23 acres of prime soils) and then $54,000 in personal donations and a $10,000 tag sale to restore the 1870’s “bank”-style barn, now home to The 4 Five Farm operated by a local family.
The property also includes an easy, one-mile walking loop from the barn on Duncaster Road that connects to trails in the adjacent LaSalette Park with views of the Hartford skyline and Metacomet Range. (See Hawk Hill Farm Trail for more info and follow signs to avoid active farm operations.)
Plans call for the trail to become part of the LaSalette Trail, a regional walking trail that will connect Filley Pond Park in the center of town to the New England Scenic Trail in Penwood State Park.
