We will provide rides up the hill to those in need of assistance. Seating and bottled water will be provided. We look forward to celebrating our accomplishments, recognizing all who have given so much time and energy to the farm this year, and sharing our plans for the year ahead.

Sunday Farm Brunch

Join us for a family-friendly summer celebration – a Farm Brunch – on June 26 from 10 am to 1 pm in the North Barn Pavilion at Holcomb Farm. This will be a fundraiser for our Fresh Access program, through which we provide healthy, farm-fresh produce to food-insecure people in Granby and the Greater Hartford area. The past two years we were unable to host our annual Harvest Dinner fundraiser, and we are excited to gather with our farm family again. To help our supporters understand all the good they do through their generosity, we will welcome guests from our partner agencies, who can speak to the impact Fresh Access has among those in need. Brunch will be catered by Clark Farms at Bushy Hill Orchard, live music will be provided by acclaimed singer-songwriter Brandon Serafino, and specialty coffees will be provided by Circuit Coffee’s Food Truck. We will have lawn games for kids of all ages, our rock star farm crew will be on-hand to answer questions about the farm, and it will all take place with a gorgeous view of the fields where we grow our extraordinary fruits and veggies. Order your tickets today!
