Farm Stays, Music, and More @ Husky Meadows Farm

 

If you are a music lover that is looking for a special way to savor the summer season, look no further than booking a farm stay at Husky Meadows Farm, a working, certified organic farm in Norfolk, Connecticut. During the all-inclusive weekend farm stay guests are invited to experience, firsthand, the many facets of the thoughtful, and sustainable food production on the farm. There is always a multitude of activities offered that range from cooking classes and behind-the-scenes farm tours to sumptuous meals, guest speakers, hikes to the native wildflower meadow, and canoeing on the pond, all in a setting of great natural beauty with luxurious accommodations. 

Since the bucolic village of Norfolk has had a long love affair with music, Husky Meadows Farm is offering a special weekend farm stay from Friday, July 21 through Sunday, July 23, to celebrate Norfolk’s musical tradition that includes coveted concert tickets to the world–renowned Yale in Norfolk Summer Chamber Music Festival. Norfolk is known worldwide for the Yale in Norfolk Chamber Music Festival, which traces its roots to a prominent family in the town that began hosting concerts in the 1880s. The Music Shed which was built in 1906 went on to host performances by such legendary artists as Rachmaninoff, Sibelius, and Padrewski. Currently, it is the home of the Yale Summer School of Music and Art which has hosted musicians from all over the world since 1941. 

The “Husky Meadows Celebrates Music” farm stay package available, from Friday, July 21 through Sunday, July 23rd includes lodging, a perfect picnic cooking class, a welcome dinner, a sumptuous Sunday Brunch, a behind-the-scenes tour with Farmer Brett, plus plenty of time to explore this 300-acre farm property. The highlight of this package, especially for music aficionados, is that it includes tickets for two evenings of concert performances at the acoustically perfect, air-conditioned Music Shed, on the grounds of the Battell-Stoeckel Estate that is minutes away. 

The concert on Friday features the Miro Quartet, one of America’s most celebrated string quartets performing the works of Mozart, Caroline Shaw, and Antonin Dvorak. Saturday’s program is part of the new Insight Series titled “From Baroque to Beatles.” It will feature the works of Handel, Melanie Bonis, and a selection of Beatles songs arranged by Luciano Berio. It's always a special treat to listen to talented fellows that are the next generation of chamber music musicians playing alongside world-renowned festival artists.
