Real estate in South Windsor is steeped in New England history and tradition. As early back as the 17th century, settlers were living in this area and farming the land, then known as Windsor. After the Podunk Indians sold the land to the settlers, it began to grow as an agricultural and shipbuilding hub, providing much support for the Continental army during the Revolutionary war. Much of this history is still preserved among real estate in South Windsor, as you can still take a walk down the old Main St. and visit pre 18th century dwellings to get a glimpse of what life was like in the early days of New England. Real Estate in South Windsor is situated a short distance away from the state capital, as well as 5 minutes away from the major retail areas of Eastern Connecticut. Buckland Hi...

  My favorite farmer's market is just down the road from me.  Jem's Farmstand on Pleasant Valley Road, just past the Clark Street intersection, is open everyday during the season until 6:00 p.m. The owner of Jem's Farmstand sells everything from tomatoes, corn, eggplant, and zuccini to herbs, flowers, and homemade jams.  She sells her own home-grown products as well as vegetables and fruits from nearby farms. I stop in several times a week for my favorites--cherry tomatoes, pickling cucumbers, and lettuce (she grows an awesome, very spicy mesclun mix).  I've also bought about a bushel of basil to make enough pesto to past through the year.
