Arethusa Farms is comprised of 350 gorgeous Litchfield County acres, a broad portion of it on South Street, Litchfield. Their newly opened ice-cream shop makes and sells all of its products on site. In addition to mouth-watering ice cream, milk and goat cheese are featured – everything is just delectable! I will be posting pictures of the progress of the artist, Richard E. Christian, a Litchfield CT native who is known for his incredible art of realism and impressionism. The bucolic countryside is being painted on the wall of the crossover between two brick buildings, and is the focal of a wonderfully crafted brick patio compete with water feature as shown.
We moved to Pitch Road in Litchfield when there were three children. Every school day, regardless of the weather, I would take the carriage with daughter Margaret to meet the bus, and we would cross the road to Arethusa for milk; once a week we would buy their ice cream. It is so nice to have them as neighbors again in the tiny Borough of Bantam where there is a continuum walk with carriage and school-aged children; a second generation.
Worthy Witness
