Since 1979, I have
farmed in Bloomfield, Ct in partnership with my wife Mary. We
have 3 grown up children, who were raised on the family farm
helping with the chores and selling vegetables at farmers’
markets. Katie and Sue have married and left the farm, but Dave
is still here and is still a great help on the farm. Our farm
is located on School Street and runs parallel to Wintonbury
Avenue. Over the years, we have sold hay, straw, plants, animals,
honey, and vegetables. In the past years we have sold wholesale
at the Hartford regional market, and at area farmers’
market. Now that the kids are grown and time is valuable we
only sell our wares from the farm. We have a wagon that we use
to sell plants, cut flowers, and vegetables on a self service
honor system. The hay and straw we sell to customers from the
hay loft of the barn.
