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.

Fog machine or steam from microbial activity in the leaf mulch? 🤔🦠🪱 Definitely the latter! We spent the morning mulching and planting new PYO raspberry beds. These beds first got a layer of biochar spread across them, then mulched, then planted. There can never be enough PYO raspberries and this drizzly (steamy) day was the perfect day to do it
