I would definitely be interested as well. I read and follow a lot of different subs pertaining to small farms/homesteading/farming, etc. It would be nice to getting comments from this specific area though. I'm not a homesteader but do have a small farm with chickens, goats, have become an obsessed garlic grower over the last 4 years. We have over 25 acres so there is a lot of land management work with regards to invasive plants, forest and up keep to a small pond.

Check out Pachaug SF on 49N in Voluntown. There are nice dirt roads to walk on and the main road in is paved. Plenty of trails off of those roads as well.

Look for the Smokey Bear sign on 49!

A nice ride in eastern CT is Rte 49N out of Pawcatuck, head up through North Stonington/Voluntown/Sterling > 14A west towards Canterbury > 169N through Brooklyn/Pomfret/Woodstock to the MA stateline. Very nice foliage ride

I don't think there's much of a DEAL with them. They all sell alcohol, some have better selections than others. Some specialize more in craft beer, others have a huge wine selection. Prices definitely fluctuate but they're all pretty close to stay competitive. You might like the owner of one better than another and they might be able to special order for you.

You'll have to start checking out your local stores and pick one you like. I don't know the Madison area stores but I'm sure others will have suggestions.

good luck! CHEERS
