Why it’s listed
A century-and-a-third of continuous family agriculture on the same [[connecticut-river-valley|Connecticut River Valley]] land is exceptional even in New England, where colonial-era farms are more common than elsewhere. Layered with USDA-certified pork/chicken, free-range eggs, three CSAs, 18 farmers markets, and farm-dinner programming that funds a scholarship — the operation captures every direct-from-farm retail channel [[directory|the directory]] tracks, while keeping the land working at substrate-builder scale across multiple species. This is the directory’s archetypal multi-generational diversified Northeast farm.
