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.

Winter Share 2025/26 signup is open!
🥕🥕🍠🍠🥔🥔🥬🥬🧅 🧅
We are so excited to be able to provide fresh and local food to our members and community for another winter. The feasibility of a winter share is up in the air every season and before last winter, we had not had a winter share since 2022 due to the devastating rains. This year the winter share is back and bigger than ever! The 2025 harvest season has been a bumper crop year for us and this year we are able to feed a third more members than we could last winter.
The winter share is structured to get you through the months of winter with storage crops and fresh greens. There are six pick ups between the end of October and mid March. Some members have shared that they like the winter more than the summer because of the hardier crops like sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes, root vegetables, winner, squash, etc. Think warm, vegetable, stews, risotto, and steam greens in the dead of winter. Yes, please!
We only have a quarter of our spots left for the 2025/26 winter share! If you are interested in local, chemical free, nutritious veggies, and fresh greens to get you through the winter and supply your holiday recipes, sign up now! It bums us out when someone who wanted the winter share doesn’t get a spot so please sign up ASAP!
The quickest way to sign up is online. To avoid credit card fees, you can sign up in person with cash or check in the farm store with one of us. We recommend that you do not send your sign-up form and payment in the mail because we don’t know how quickly the spots will be filled. It is first come first serve so if you prefer cash or check, please come in person!
