Experience Holcomb Farm
Holcomb Farm
Holcomb Farm is a 317-acre historic working farm located in the heart of West Granby, Connecticut. It is comprised of:
- A nonprofit, mixed-vegetable production farm that produces abundant, delicious produce without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. We grow on 26 acres of Town-owned property for a 550-member Summer CSA, 100-member Winter CSA, wholesale customers, our farm store, and our food donation program, called Fresh Access. through which we provide local, nutrient-dense food to approximately 600 people per week throughout the growing season. We use only chemical- and GMO-free methods and sign the Northeast Organic Farming Assocation of Connecticut’s Farmer’s Pledge.
- 10+ miles of trails that are open to the public, from dawn to dusk. Our trails connect to McLean Game Refuge and Granby Land Trust trails, and wind their way through the beautiful, varied terrain of rural West Granby, in the foothills of the Berkshires. Learn more.
- The Holcomb Tree Trail, where nearly 100 trees are labeled with their common and botanical names; and interpretive signs teach readers more about the trees and the landscape. Learn more.
- A beautiful banquet facility for life's special events. All private bookings are handled through the Town of Granby's Parks and Recreation Department.
- A community gathering place in a historic New England setting.
The farm is operated collaboratively by the Town of Granby and a Board of Directors composed of local citizens. 277 acres of the farm are protected from development through a conservation restriction held by the Granby Land Trust.
The mission of the Friends of Holcomb Farm is to preserve, promote and utilize an historic, working New England farm for the benefit of the community.

Fall is here and the farm is showing it! 🍁🎃 the farm store and CSA is full of the best of what a New England fall has to offer. Pumpkins for carving, decorating, and all your fall recipes, apples, squash, and more! Our crew has been busy getting the last of the summer crops in before the frost really hits, harvesting the fall crops, cleaning up the fields, and getting our cover crop in before the last bit of the growing season is done. This summer has been one for the books!

🍁First day of the Winter CSA is Nov. 4th ❄️

Spend a beautiful fall day enjoying the colors, views, and changing of the seasons on the Holcomb Farm Tree Trail 🍁🍂The Holcomb Farm Tree Trail will host a guided foliage hike on October 17 starting at 10 AM from the main campus parking lot. There will be two options of one or two hour duration. The first hour will be in the open fields along mowed paths and will include touring the state trees for the original 13 states. People can finish at this point, or continue into the wooded trails for an additional hour of hiking and viewing.
The pace will be casual, well suited for families and dog walkers (with their well behaved, leashed dogs).
No registration is necessary.

Our Winter CSA is open for signups!! This year is the winter share is better than ever because it will be in our brand new farm store! Rather than once a month and all at once, winter share members will be able to come to the farm every week, every other week, or once a month to get their share — CSA member’s choice!
The winter share is full of storage crops and greenhouse greens to get you through the winter while eating seasonally and locally. Scroll through the photos to see some of our crop options from years past! (These photos were taken in our old, unheated, open-to-the-elements, CSA barn! The winter share will now be in the new farm store)
The perks of joining the winter share are 1. Supporting a local, holistic, chemical-free farm all year round 2. CSA members save money in the long run because you pay wholesale prices rather than farm market prices 3. It’s delicious and full of nutrients!!
To learn more and sign up visit our website and go to “summer/winter CSA”. You can find the sign up form and online sign up link there! Click the link in the bio 🤗
We are almost full so dont wait!! And if you don’t want to do the winter share put still want to support local, our farm store will be open 10 am to 6 pm Wednesday through Saturday until after the holidays!
