Eastford Ag Faire


On Saturday, September 8th, 2012 the Eastford Agriculture Committee sponsored the third annual Ag Faire on the Green at the Ivy Glenn Memorial. The event included a farmers market, agricultural displays, a book sale, children's games, scarecrow building, farm animals, and more. Bales of hay, corn stalks, pumpkins, mums and tractors created a farm-like atmosphere. Farm animals that were on hand included horses, goats, calves, oxen, chickens, ducks, rabbits. Children had a terrific time stuffing scarecrows with straw and displaying them in the adjacent park.

Participating local agricultural businesses included Still River Mill, Forest View Farm, Natchaug Vineyard and Phoenixville Farm, Woodbine Farm, and Center Farm.

 

The event will be held again next year on the second Saturday of September, so mark your calendars now.

Old Town Pound (1995)

Pound Road (corner of John Perry Rd.), Eastford, CT

Eastford’s agricultural history included the regulation and impoundment of straying farm animals. In 1849, early Eastford officials contracted with their pound keeper, Ephriam Trowbridge, to build a pound. Eastford’s Town Pound still stands, on Pound Road! Today the encircling stone walls are about 5 feet high, though originally they may have been higher. The pound is large, being 7 rods square. Construction matches mid-19th century techniques: large field stones at the bases of the walls, probably moved by teams and sledges, with smaller stones, probably lifted by hand, on top. Some openings among the stones may have been there originally and purposefully, so that stray sheep in the enclosure might see out, be calmer, and, thus, better behaved! The gate posts show obvious quarry marks, and the holes into which we have placed hardware for our 21st century gate are original to the stones’ first settings.

The Eastford Conservation and Historical Preservation Commission is charged to preserve Eastford’s history as well as to conserve its land, so the Town Pound, closely connected with Eastord’s beginnings and agricultural heritage, has been a natural focus. Come Visit!
