Storrs

The Nathan Hale Inn is a 100-room hotel on the University of Connecticut's agricultural campus in Storrs, now operating as the Graduate by Hilton Storrs. It isn't a working farm itself, but its location puts guests near UConn's agricultural shows and the working farmland surrounding the campus.

Hebron

Bastiani's is a 100-acre pick-your-own blueberry farm on East Street in Hebron that opens shortly after the Fourth of July and usually runs through mid-August, sometimes shorter if the bushes pick clean early. Multiple varieties keep the rows heavy through the season. Check the farm's Facebook page before driving out, since the season can end without much notice once the berries run out.

Lebanon

West Green Farm combines an orchard with a working dairy in Lebanon, a farming town in New London County's interior.
