FAIRFIELD Singer-songwriter Van Morrison compared someone to the sweetness of tupelo honey in his 1971 song, and the black tupelo tree, also known as a pepperidge tree, brought sweet success for Margaret Rudkin.
She named her commercial baking business for her Pepperidge Farm in Fairfield’s Greenfield Hill neighborhood. That farm was named for the grove of pepperidge trees that stood upon its 123 acres. That land, coupled with an additional 100 acres, became The Ridge, a 24-hour guarded and private, gated community of 96 luxury homes on the border of Westport and Fairfield. There, in the gray and white colonial house at 344 Fence Row Drive, la dolce vita, or the sweet life, awaits its next owners.

Banks North Road in Fairfield s Greenfield Hill is a study in local architectural history, from the town s earliest days to modern times. It is also a study in contrast.
Houses on this quiet country road range from a rustic antique converted dairy barn to brand new construction, equestrian properties and sophisticated colonials like this one at 801 Banks North Road. The center hall colonial was built in 1998 on a 2.62-acre parcel with views of the 13th hole on the Patterson Club s golf course.
