Local business Squadron Capital has made a $100,000 leadership gift to the Friends of Holcomb Farm in support of our Building for the Future Campaign. Now, they’re inviting you to carry that momentum forward. Every contribution—of any size—helps expand the impact of this gift. Learn more.
CSA & FARM STORE- OPENING JUNE 10
Holcomb Farm is a nonprofit farm that grows without chemicals or pesticides -- not even organically approved ones. In our store, we offer our own produce, as well as dairy, meats, and artisan goods from other local farms and makers. You do not have to belong to our CSA to shop in our Farm Store!
A BUILDING FOR OUR FUTURE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION!
The Friends of Holcomb Farm have long envisioned ways to improve our operations and expand our capacity to serve the community. Now an exceptional opportunity has taken root, right next to our fields, on land that had been part of the original Holcomb Farm, and it opens the door to deeper impact for the greater good. Click below to learn more about this exciting development and how you can help make our year-round farm store a reality.
JOIN THE FRIENDS OF HOLCOMB FARM
The Friends of Holcomb Farm is the nonprofit, member-based organization that oversees all the ways in which the farm serves people in Granby and beyond. Your annual gift of $35 or more makes you a member, and helps support the important work we do. We hope you'll join us, and connect with this special place -- this "jewel of Granby" -- Holcomb Farm. Click the button below to learn more about all we do and how you can help!
VISIT OUR TRAILS
More than 10 miles of woodland trails and more than two miles of mowed meadow paths crisscross the 300 acres of woodlands, farmland, meadows, and streams that make up Holcomb Farm. And because the farm is located between Granby Land Trust properties and the McLean Game Refuge -- forming a significant area of permanently protected open space -- Holcomb Farm trails provide access to other trail systems, as well.

💚Happy Earth Day!💙 Today is the day to acknowledge everything that the Earth provides for us: healthy food, clean air, fresh water, beauty, connection, and so much more. As a celebratory thank you to our planet CSA and PYO members can come to the farm to get free veg and harvest-your-own-spinach! (check your email) There are also FREE carrots and sweet potatoes at @juliensbakery all day today! Also free carrots and sweet potatoes for seniors today at the Granby Senior Center!
It’s cliche but we mean it when we say that everyday is Earth day on the farm. The health of our farm-ecosystem, the produce, and the people the farm feeds is at the center of our decisions. This means we are chemical-free (even organic ones), holistic, and practice sustainable farming practices like cover cropping, adding biochar, rotating crops, mulching, using only organic or non-GMO seeds, reducing tillage, planting beneficial species for pollinators, implementing sustainable water management, composting, and planting a wide diversity of crops.
A few ways to celebrate Earth Day everyday this summer is to shop small and support your local holistic farmer and plant a garden. We will have three weekends of plant sales in May starting Mother’s Day weekend with every seedling you need grown from organic or non-gmo seedlings. We officially open June 10th for the summer! Whether you choose us or another farm we thank you for supporting sustainable growers!
💚💙

@juliensfarmstore took Purple Majesty to the next level 🤯This variety has quickly become one of Joe’s favorites to grow. We started growing it last year and it has not disappointed in the flavor, storage, nutrition, and of course the color department. Ideal life-cycle of a purple majesty sweet potato: delivered as a baby sweet potato slip in late April, planted in early June, harvested in October, cured/stored/sweetened in the winter, and transformed into a purple sweet potato basque cheesecake
Wait did we just say sweet potato slips delivered in late April? Time to order more!
