One of New England’s most memorable fall experiences is stopping by “The Old C***r Mill” in Glastonbury, Connecticut, where a historic c***r mill dating back to the 1800s comes alive with pumpkins, farm animals, fresh apple c***r, and delicious homemade treats! Located at 1287 Main Street, this beautiful old mill has been a Connecticut fall tradition for generations, with its current building dating to 1870. Visitors can enjoy fresh-pressed apple c***r, warm apple fritters from the popular Fritter Truck, c***r donuts, fresh-baked pies, fudge, and other seasonal goodies. Outside, you'll find colorful mums, pumpkins, gourds, corn stalks, and straw bales for decorating your home. Families especially love the petting zoo, where children can meet and feed goats, alpacas, chickens, and other farm animals. There are also tractors for kids to explore, lawn games, and locally made treats and crafts to browse. Coming up on Saturday, October 31st, the mill is hosting a special Halloween celebration where children are encouraged to dress in costume, with free admission for anyone wearing a costume! The animals will be waiting to greet visitors, and the Fritter Truck will serve hot apple fritters and c***r!

Only one more week until then Cuder Mill closes for the season. Stop in, pick up some goodies, visit the animals, get some fabulous fresh apple fritters and stock up on Blessed Creek products.

Currently loving my simmer pot and really loving that I can save it in a container and reuse it again and again by simply adding more water!

👩🏼‍🏫Little Lesson: Before scented candles, plug-ins, and store-bought air fresheners, people turned to something much simpler to make their homes smell wonderful: fruits, herbs, spices, and a pot of simmering water.

The tradition of naturally scenting homes dates back centuries. In Europe, fragrant herbs and flowers were used to freshen living spaces, and by the 1700s, potpourri had become a popular way to bring beautiful aromas indoors.

Today, we call the stovetop version a simmer pot, and it’s one old-fashioned tradition worth bringing back!

At My Trad Life, we love finding ways to slow down, use what nature provides, and bring a little simplicity back into our homes.

💡 TRAD LIFE TIP: Save your apple scraps and orange peels for your next simmer pot! It’s a wonderful way to make use of ingredients that might otherwise go to waste.

🤎Sometimes the sweetest parts of life aren’t things we buy. They’re the simple traditions we bring back into our homes.

🍂 YOUR TURN! Have you ever made a simmer pot? What’s your favorite combination of scents?

👇 Share your favorite ingredients in the comments! We’d love to try your family traditions!
