Review:

Arethusa Farm is a dairy farm in Bantam, originally opened by the Webster family since 1868 and named after the region's pink orchard variety of the same name. In 1999, the farm was purchased by Anthony Yurgaitis and George Malkemus, who have maintained a public dairy storefront and gourmet restaurant at the site since 2014.

Visitors can stop in at the dairy's open barn hours on Saturday to meet-and-greet with farm cows and learn about milking and bottling operations. The company's ultra-pasteurized milk is sold throughout the year, crafted to retain as much of its natural flavor as possible. Handcrafted ice cream is also sold, along with farm-fresh yogurt, European-style cheeses, small-batch butter, and seasonal eggnog made with cage-free eggs. The dairy farm's restaurant, Arethusa Al Tavolo, has been named as a top 100 restaurant in the United States by OpenTable since its opening.
