We Have Gone to Bristol's Farm

 We visited Bristol’s Farm, a Canton landmark, this weekend, to deliver some of our baked goods that they are now selling at their market.

The market is run by Josh Bristol, along with some other Bristol Family members. Visiting the Farm and Barn Market has the nostalgic feel of stepping back in time . 

It is located at;

541 Albany Turnpike (Route 44), Canton, CT 06109

(860) 693-8965

 The market is stocked with locally grown fruit and vegetables along with some specialty jellies, honey, oils, soaps and syrup from the area.

The grounds are lovely with most noticeably growing flowers and kale.

Each week we are bringing Café Louise there with a selection of  tea breads and bars. Our selection this week includes:

Breads

Lemon Blueberry

Chocolate Zucchini

Fresh Raspberry with Pecan Streusel

Roasted Garlic, Spinach, Sundried Tomato

$5 each

Vegan Carrot Bread with Walnuts $6

Louise’s Honey Nut Swag Bars $4

  

Louise's Honey Nut Swag Bars were a huge hit along with all of the Tea Breads.

Here is our recipe for the swag bars. They are homemade granola bars with a drizzle of dark chocolate. They are not too sweet but still manage to be a delicious treat!
