To the Editor:

Starting this Sunday, July 28, Ferris Acres Creamery will be closing on Sundays at 6 pm.

Since the creamery opened 15 years ago, the family has enjoyed considerable success. We found that the public has enjoyed coming out to the farm to enjoy an ice cream treat while experiencing a glimpse of a working farm.

However, our success is becoming a nuisance for our neighbors and the Newtown police force. In an effort to respect our neighbor’s quality of life and to respond to a request from Chief of Police James Viadero, we will be closing early on Sundays.

We will also investigate whether we can expand our parking lot without infringing on wetlands or preserved farmlands.

Yours truly,

The Ferris Family
