Comstock Ferre in downtown Old Wethersfield was the oldest seed store in the USA.  It has now reopened and in addition to selling Baker Creek Heirloom seeds, they have a farm-to-table market and cafe serving fresh, local food, baked goods and great coffee.  The staff are friendly and welcoming.  I run a sketching group and they were very happy for us to use their seed room for our Sunday meetups.  There are gardening books for sale as well as a food and gardening reference library you’re welcome to peruse.  Grab a bookmark and mark your place, come back next week to continue reading.  There’s a great, laid-back atmosphere inside and they’re opening up more of the building as the Spring/ Summer rolls around.
