Directions to the Farm

From Norwalk/Wilton  via Route 7
Follow Route 7 through Wilton and in Georgetown you will come to the junction of Route 7 and Route 107.  You will turn right onto Route 107.  Follow Route 107 until you come to the junction of 107 and Route 53.  Go left onto Route 53 and follow it for about 2.5 miles.  In this stretch of road, you will pass The Redding Roadhouse on your right, Mark Twain Library on your left and
John Read Middle School on your right.  Take your first left after the school onto Umpawaug Road (There will be a green sign on your right that says West Redding Center and Railroad Station.)  Proceed slowly on Umpawaug for .4 miles and take the second road off to your right.  This is Marchant Road.  New Pond Farm has the first three driveways on your right. We have a white farm house and yellow barns. Please pull into the third driveway and park in the gravel lot. 

From Fairfield/Bridgeport via Route 58
Follow Route 58 through Easton and into Redding.  You will pass
Joel Barlow High School and then, after a mile or so, the Redding Ridge Volunteer Fire Dept.--both will be on your right. As soon as you pass the Fire Dept.  prepare to take your next left, in front of Christ Episcopal Church onto Cross Highway. Go through a four-way stop and then follow  this road down and up tremendous hills. You will come to another four way  stop  by the Congregational Church and a small town green. Follow Route 107 South straight and down another  small hill.  At this stop sign you will bear left (it's almost like going straight ahead) onto Route 107 South.  Follow 107 to the bottom of another hill (watch the curves!) and to the end.  At the next stop sign you will go right onto Route 53.   Now follow the underlined directions above.

From Bethel/Danbury via Route 53
Take Route 53 through Bethel and into Redding.  You will pass a green sign on your right saying West Redding Center, this is by a small road called Sidecut Road.  Pass Sidecut, staying on Route 53 and take the next right onto Umpawaug Road. (If you get to John Read Middle School then you have gone too far!) Proceed slowly on Umpawaug and take the second road off to your right (.4 miles off Route 53). This is
Marchant Road. New Pond Farm has the first three driveways on your right. We have a white farm house and yellow barns. Please pull into the third driveway on your right.

From Weston/Westport via Route 53
Follow Route 53 through Weston Center and around the reservoirs.  Eventually Route 53 will straighten out and you will come to the junction of Rt.107 and Rt. 53.  At this stop sign go straight onto Route 53 and follow the underlined directions above.
