Holcomb Farm

Holcomb Farm is a 312-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 450 member Summer CSA, 100 member Winter CSA, wholesale customers, our farm store, and our food donation program, called Fresh Access.  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.
  • A nonprofit organization that does good work in Hartford County. Through Fresh Access, we donated more than 15 tons of fresh produce to people in need in 2022. In addition, through the Friends of Holcomb Farm and our CSA, we host periodic events that celebrate healthy living, almost always free-of-charge, and open to all.

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.

Flash sale and Lost Acres Vineyard Market 🌱

🥕We will be at the @lostacresvineyard Annual Spring Farmers Market this Thursday (04/17) from 4 pm–7 pm, and we will be bringing everything that we have! Onions, potatoes, sweet potatoes, beets, crushed tomatoes, parsnips, carrots, radish, turnips, dandelion greens, baby kale, spinach, and cilantro.

🌱Spring Flash Greens & Veggie Sale
Friday, April 18th, 10 am–4 pm
Saturday, April 19th, 10 am–4 pm
We have enough greenhouse greens and root veggies to have one more sale before the farm transitions to full-speed summer preparation mode. Stop by the CSA Barn/Farm Store to grab your favorite root veggies and winter greens! We have tons and tons of spinach, so steam it, freeze it, and enjoy it until next year! We will be offering the same veggies that we’re bringing to Lost Acres Vineyard. We have a very limited amount of basil microgreens, so they will be available until we sell out. We will also have tons of free seconds for 2025 CSA Members. After this sale, we will be doing extreme-greenhouse-makeovers and planting our early summer crops in the beds. Last opportunity for winter greens!

🌱Basil microgreens are a rare, seasonal delicacy on the farm when the seeding greenhouse is gearing up but not yet full of seedlings. Nutrient-dense, fresh, fragrant, flavorful, and one of Joe’s personal favorites — the basil microgreens are not to be missed!

“The basil microgreens and greenhouse figs are the two best-tasting things we grow.”
