Get To Know Your Local Farmer: Cabot Open Farm Sunday
Cabot Open Farm Sunday offers the public an opportunity to peek behind barn doors and discover what their neighbor farmers do every day.

Eating Connecticut: AmandaBakes
It started with a text…
I was in the middle of shooting photos for a client and knew I had made plans to leave the house. But the weekend didn’t go according to plan and I was way behind schedule. Lost in my project, I also lost track of time.

Bee Sting: Tipsy Tuesday
Search the internet and you’ll find a variety of cocktails that go by the name Bee Sting.
Some contain gin. Others rely on Scotch. I’ve even found tequila! But the super easy Renaissance Faire version…apparently, a drink has no name?
