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 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.
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.

Looking for a native perennial flower to plant? Plant Sunchokes! Sunchoke (aka Jerusalem artichoke) is a native perennial that grows robustly while benefiting wildlife, providing privacy, adding beauty, and being an extremely reliable apocalypse-proof food source. Just plant the tubers and voila! Sunchokes will be sprouting for the summer and reach six feet in height! We will be selling tons at our Spring Veggies Sales April 3rd and 4th to either plant or eat. Win win!
After this sale the greenhouses we will be prepping the greenhouses for their summer mode so this is the LAST CHANCE for delicious winter greens until next winter. The farm will enter its “hunger period” soon when there are no storage veg or greenhouse greens and the fields are not yet producing. So support local if you can until we open our doors again for the summer!

Say what?! There are less than a quarter of spots left in the summer CSA! We are a choice-based CSA which means as a full or half share member, you get to choose the vegetables you like most every week rather than us choosing for you. Pick-Your-Own members get to directly harvest their own vegetables, herbs, and flowers right out of our fields. Every week, you’ll leave the farm with nutritious abundance and confidence that your meals are chemical-free and support a holistic farm.
To sign up, visit our website for online signup or save on credit card fees and mail in your signup form with cash/check or bring it to our Spring Veggie Sale April 3rd and 4th. Don’t miss out! The summer CSA fills every year!
