OUR CELEBRATION
WHAT IS FRESH ACCESS?
Check out this video, created by students from the University of Saint Joseph who conducted interviews at Holcomb Farm in 2022. It does a great job of explaining our Fresh Access program.
OUR PARTNERS
VISIT OUR TREE TRAIL
Comprised of both mature and newly-planted trees, the Holcomb Tree Trail is located on the east side of Simsbury Road across from the main Holcomb Farm complex. Trees are labeled and the trail is marked with interpretive signs that teach visitors about not only trees, but wildlife, geology and more.
Follow Our CSA
Enjoy the great weather before the rain returns this weekend, and be sure to check out the Granby Public Library’s showcase featuring the Friends of Holcomb Farm’s work, today - as we celebrate 30 years of community service. To learn more, mark your calendars for 6:30pm on October 26th, for a short talk of the history of this “Jewel of Granby,” and more information on our programs.

Tomorrow from 9-11am, the Granby Land Trust, the Granby Artists Association, and the Friends of Holcomb Farm invite you to join us for THE BIG PAINT, an event featuring artists working en plein air (in the open air). This year’s event will showcase the beauty of Holcomb Farm here in West Granby. 277 acres of this historic farm are now permanently preserved, thanks to a conservation easement held by the Granby Land Trust (acquired in 2022).
ARTISTS: please arrive at 8 am to find your subject matter. The farm offers a variety of paint-worthy settings, including open fields with mowed paths, agricultural fields, old barns, a farm pond, an arboretum (the Holcomb Tree Trail), beautiful woodlands, the West Branch of the Salmon Brook, and so much more.
VISITORS: you are invited to explore the property and chat with the artists as they work.
It’s going to be a beautiful fall day and we can’t wait for you to enjoy all that our historic property has to offer! 🎨🌳🍂🌞🍃🌾
