Connecticut’s Secret Corner is loaded with natural beauty and plenty of rural charm. An escape to the northwest part of the state is a top-rated favorite for many. When you do travel to the area, there is one roadside farm market that’s just begging for a visit. Whether you’re seeking out fresh produce, a mouthwatering pie, or other delicious bounties, Freund’s Farm Market and Bakery is bursting with local goodness.
As you're driving along Route 44 through East Canaan, put on the brakes and make a delicious pit stop at Freund's Farm Market and Bakery. This roadside marketplace is brimming over with goodies and the ideal spot to do some local shopping.
The market began 30 years ago as a bushel basket selling surplus sweet corn. Today, Freund's Farm has a two-story marketplace complete with bakery and a greenhouse for raising plants.
While the corn is still sweet and fresh, you'll discover an enormous variety of fresh produce at Freund's. The seasonal offerings are exquisite and you'll be sure to find your favorites here.
At the peak of the growing season, fresh fruits and veggies are transformed into other tempting offerings. Pickles, relishes, and jams are ready to be plucked off the shelves and added to your pantry.
While you visit, you might catch the scent of baked goods leaving the oven. The bakery uses the incredible farm ingredients to create everything from macaroons to muffins and of course, some good old fashioned pies.
In addition to all of the yummy for your tummy offerings, the marketplace also offers great gift items. Painted signs and quirky clocks are just the beginning of the unique wares for sale.
