Agritourism & Farm Experiences in Bridgeport, CT

Bridgeport

Listed as an agritourism site at 10 Wickliffe Circle in Bridgeport, but no working website, social page, or business description turns up under this name. The listing appears to be a placeholder in state agritourism directories rather than an active farm stand or attraction.

Middle island

Kepert's Apiary is a family beekeeping operation in Middle Island, in the pine barrens of central Long Island. They sell local raw honey and homemade beeswax candles, and they remove unwanted honeybee colonies and swarms in the area. It runs as a small hobby-scale apiary rather than a storefront, so their Facebook page (Kepertbees) is the way to check honey availability and reach them.

Huntington

Based in Huntington, it offers hands-on outdoor curricula like Earthkeepers and Earth Rangers to help people, especially students, build a stronger relationship with the natural world.

Cheshire

Drazen Orchards ran as a pick-your-own apple, blueberry, peach, and nectarine farm on Wallingford Road for close to 75 years, started by David and Ida Drazen in 1951 on land tracing back to an early-1800s farm and wood mill. The family closed the orchard for good in 2026, citing rising costs and the physical toll of the work.

Ridge

Cheshire

Norton Brothers Fruit Farm operated on Academy Road for more than 200 years, dating to the mid-1700s, before closing after the 2024 season. Local reporting in 2025 pointed to a possible sale or new agreement to keep part of the farm going, though its current status is unconfirmed.

Cheshire
