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.

November always marks a bittersweet time on the farm. We are always looking forward to the slower pace of the winter after a season of work but it means that we have to say goodbye to three of our “farm-ily” members. Kim, Mckean, and Danovan went back home to Jamaica to be back with their families and rest for the winter this week. They have been part of the farm for years and Holcomb Farm isn’t complete without them! Our annual tradition is going to Sweet Delight in Bloomfield for their farewell dinner so if you need a taste of Jamaica on a cold winter’s day that is spot to go!
We cant thank them enough for everything they do to make the farm what it is and for keeping us laughing! We will miss them and the farm is a lot quieter without them. Counting down the days until April when they return to their second home! 🫶🇯🇲💛💚

Come on by for local and responsibly produced products! We have whole foods, veggies, and high quality products made by Northeast producers that you can trust! Our farm store is staying open during our regular hours until after the holidays so come here first before the grocery store 🤗🥕
Our Winter CSA Share begins THIS WEEK! Woohoo! We are pumped to be able to continue supplying our community with a wide variety of holistic veg. We’ve been busy harvesting the root/storage veg, cover cropping the fields before the winter, and taking care of our future greenhouse greens that will be harvested in a few weeks! We are open to the public Wednesday through Saturday 10 am to 6 pm and Winter CSA Members can come to the farm anytime to pick up their winter share!
Thanks for choosing local and supporting a New England farm!
