Every year Ann and I look forward to David Brown's annual daffodil party at the Hay House farm in Old Saybrook. This year was no exception...it was a perfect weekend with gorgeous daffodils, great food and awesome people. It's a special place where one can meet artists, environmentalists, and the local Tibetan community. David's farm is aptly named as he lives in a one room cottage made of hay bales that are 18" thick. Also on the farm is his artist studio and Connecticut's first Buddhist Stupa. The farm is “off the grid” and David lives a Thoreauean existence. 
This past April 26th, surrounded by thousands of daffodils, David's friends joined together to also celebrate the birthday of the Stupa (dedicated on Earth Day 2007) a Buddhist shrine of peace and good intention. 
Do they come any cuter than this?
David sells vegetables, eggs, jam, cut flowers and in addition, he’s a full time painter. He was the subject of a documentary, "David Brown and the Hay House," by Jeannie Newman of SamDog Films, in 2004. David offers tours of his farm for individuals and groups by arrangement.
