Honey Fair · September 13–14, 2031 · Stafford Springs, Connecticut
Stafford — the Tolland County town in northeastern Connecticut's Quiet Corner — occupies a pastoral upland landscape of hardwood forests and working farms along the Willimantic River corridor, where beekeepers harvest rich basswood, apple blossom, black locust, goldenrod, and forest wildflower honey from apiaries in one of Connecticut's most rural and unspoiled agricultural regions. This September fair at Stafford Fairgrounds celebrates Tolland County's deep beekeeping traditions alongside the town's agricultural heritage as part of Connecticut's last great working farm landscape, featuring honey from producers across the Quiet Corner counties of Tolland and Windham, demonstrations of traditional hive management practices passed down through generations of Connecticut farming families, guided walks through the Heritage Trail system exploring the region's stone-wall-lined farm lanes and their honeybee forage communities, and connections to the University of Connecticut Extension's ongoing bee health research programs in the region.
