Auerfarm is located at 158 Auer Farm Rd in Bloomfield (off of Simsbury Road). Enjoy the beautiful drive up the dirt road to the farm!  Stay to the right when the road forks and PLEASE MIND THE SPEED LIMIT! There are children attending camp and animals on the property. Once at the farm there is a parking lot on the left and our kitchen is located in the second building on the right when walking down the main path of the property. To get to the pavilion, please pass our kitchen, go under the arch and the pavilion will be up on the right at the end of the main path.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at [email protected]

Thank you!
