(April 12, 2023)—Each year many winter-weary residents in Connecticut eagerly await springtime. We look for signs, such as swelling tree buds and the green tips of daffodils poking up through the earth. After months of witnessing shades of gray, our hungry eyes cannot wait to see more vibrant colors.
Daffodils are some of the first to take the stage in Mother Nature’s springtime production, and they are certainly not shades of gray!
At Halfinger Farms in Higganum, thousands of daffodils line up in rows like dancers on a stage, ready to burst forth with a glorious display of color and beauty. Once they emerge, and the flowers are evident, the picking adventures can begin.
This year, owners Jen and John Halfinger welcomed visitors on April 1. They are planning to stay open through the end of the month, providing the flowers remain in tip-top condition. The hours for picking are 10:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m. daily.
Other plants available at Halfinger Farms include, Swiss Chard, Kale, Greens, Lettuce, Peas and more.
Halfinger Farms is located at 489 Candlewood Hill Road, Higganum.
