About Us

WIND HILL FARM is a community farm. We are a retail, organic vegetable farm with a community garden for neighbors’ personal gardens, and programs and activities for people of all ages including farm-to-table dinners, hikes, Weed & Wine gatherings, Farm Fresh Kids on-farm educational programs and special programs and events.

We are a non-profit, 501c3 community organization located in east Glastonbury. Our interests include promoting local farms, environmental stewardship and healthy lifestyles by encouraging people to participate in farming, gardening and educational programming.

OUR farm and programming is managed by a Board of Directors:. Current Members are: Janice Gottesman, President, Joan Curtiss, Vice President, Janet Edmondson, Treasurer, Eileen Lucas Brooks, Secretary, Jean Hopkins, Christine Penney, Jennifer Brook, Aaron Chaffee, Beth Hillson and Joel Reich.

OUR Farm is supported by selling vegetables through our CSA, renting garden beds, and presenting programs and events. Donations from generous supporters supplement and support the maintenance of our hoophouse and infrastructure.

We are a working farm. We are located on a small portion of the “last dairy farm” in Glastonbury, the Longo Farm which is now owned by the Town. Our goal is to promote local farms by serving our local community healthy, organic produce at a financially viable community farm. We offer a CSA, and sell seedlings and produce in the community. Our volunteers support our farm activities through participating in farm projects and our Weed & W(h)ine group of weekly field volunteers. All of our efforts contribute to protecting our natural environment as an ongoing “organic” farm, maintaining a model of a small, local farm providing our community with healthful products, and encouraging healthy activities and eating options. This year we are thrilled to be able to rebuild our community garden beds, greatly improve our rear field production by building a fence around its perimeter, and introduce a div ersity garden program which welcomes people from diverse cultures to grow and demonstrate their unique herbs and produce. We are also working diligently to control the spread of invasives (including mugwort) recently spreading on our property. Please come join us as a volunteer and keep an eye on our summer concert programs. If you'd like to receive our email notices, please contact us windhillfarmcom@gmail.com.

We have a community garden. We have a participating members’ garden, which includes twenty-nine 12’x4’ raised beds which are leased to area families for growing produce organically. We have recruited a wonderful community of gardeners who swap seeds and plants and share their successes and failures with the other gardeners. They reap their “local” produce serving healthful vegetables to their families while contributing to “green” efforts by preserving this land in an organic, agricultural use.
