Overview
Nonprofit CSA and farm store growing 200+ vegetable, herb, and flower varieties without chemicals or pesticides.
Holcomb Farm is a nonprofit CSA and farm store operating on preserved farmland in West Granby, Connecticut, with a farming history stretching back to 1756. It cultivates roughly 25 acres and grows approximately 200 crop varieties, including vegetables, gourds, berries, flowers, and herbs. The farm offers both Summer and Winter CSA shares, making it a year-round source of produce. Its Farm Store stocks its own produce alongside grass-fed meats, free-range chicken, cheeses, breads, eggs, ice cream, fruit, honey, jams, and other goods from local farms and makers. Shoppers do not need a CSA membership to purchase from the store. Through its Fresh Access program, the farm donates around six tons of produce annually to households experiencing financial or health hardship. Learn more on their About Page.
Holcomb Farm grows without pesticides or chemicals, including those approved for certified organic use. Soil fertility is maintained through cover crops such as rye, oats, sorghum-sudangrass, and hairy vetch, along with compost made from horse manure and bedding sourced from area horse farms, applied manures, and a certified organic fertilizer blend. Soil pH, nutrient levels, and organic matter are monitored annually. Pest and disease management relies on crop rotation, field sanitation, bug-excluding row covers, disease-resistant variety selection, and the use of botanical and biological controls including beneficial insects. Weed control combines bare summer fallows, stale seedbed preparation, tractor cultivation, flame weeding, and hand weeding. Seed varieties are selected for flavor, eating quality, yield, and disease resistance rather than shelf life or shipping durability.
