Bush Meadow Farm

Bush Meadow Farm, right off I-84 in Union, CT, is a wonderful spot run by the Kapplan family serving breakfast & lunch on weekends from 7am- 4pm. Weekday times are by appointment only. Call ahead if you have a large group, as the dining area is limited. If you are heading for a weekend getaway to CT, NYC, or beyond, it is a great, convenient place to stop for a homemade meal and then jump back on the highway.

One of the girls greets us
Outdoors, you can see goats & quail; the folks there are very friendly and will answer any questions you have about the animals. Indoors it is family style eating and appears to be a popular place for locals (some customers were greeted by their first names), and extremely kid friendly. The kids’ pancakes were made right away to keep them happy; coloring books were also at hand for kiddos.

The unique coffee station
The coffee was self-serve style, served on an old woodstove. The menu highlights local and seasonal ingredients, and emphasizes the fresh goat cheese made on the premises. There are a variety of flavors of cheese both sweet and savory. Some highlights from their menu were homemade crepes, eggs benny, and coffee cake muffins. The goat cheese is available for purchase, as is fresh goat milk and local smoked meat.     

We are keeping Bush Meadow Farm in mind for future visits we have to Connecticut or beyond.  The food and coffee were excellent, and the prices are reasonable.  The experience has us re-evaluating the amount of goat dairy in our diets.
