An open house will be held on Wednesday, July 9 from 10 a.m. until 1 pm. for anyone wishing to view the Aspetuck Apple Barn at 714 Black Rock Road.
The barn is owned by Aquarion Water Company. Don Simpson ran it until the fall of 2024, well after his 2021 illness. The barn’s roots trace back to the early 1900s, when Bridgeport Hydraulic Company owned large tracts of land in the area, including the apple orchards and the barn itself. It transformed through the years into a well-loved establishment, selling unique gift items, fresh soups, pies, jams, specialty food items, fresh baked goods, flowers, fruits, honey, vegetables, cheeses and seasonal items such as Christmas trees.
The 5,521-square-feet retail space includes 1,296 square feet of barn space for storage. The tenant is responsible for all utilities and for refuse and recycling. The building has oil heat, ceiling fans, new oil tank, new furnace, newer roof, ample parking.
Further information about the property may be obtained by contacting Shawna Salato, manager of real estate for Aquarion Water Company of Connecticut, at 203-362-3066.
