Visit Fairfield County Moms Blog sponsor, the Grounded Goodwife, at their 1770 Farmhouse in Woodbury, CT!
Join your hosts, an herbalist daughter/historian mother duo, for a tour of their unique colonial home, and your group’s choice of hands-on workshop.

Stroll the organic vegetable and herb gardens, visit with the free-range chickens, sip herbal tea, and enjoy a seasonal baked good.
