Our History
Founded in 2010, The Farm has been beloved place in the community for over a decade. We have grown and evolved over the years, but one thing has remained the same: our commitment to providing fresh produce to the community.

Our goal is to provide fresh, healthy produce to the local community while promoting sustainable gardening practices. We believe that by working together, we can create a healthier and more sustainable future for everyone.

We have a dedicated group of volunteers that have been helping us over the years. We are always seeking people to join us for a workday or to come to our weekly get togethers and events.
Community Garden
Our full-sun, naturally-warmed raised beds are 4’x12′ and must be maintained organically. The cost is $75.00 for the year, and includes compost, community, a solar-powered water system, garden tools, and neighboring support sharing advice, seeds and seedlings. Check out our Facebook group and help us grow our community. https://www.facebook.com/groups/622376959709164
Garden Beds Rentals for 2025 will be available to reserve in
$75.00
Our Community Garden includes 29 beds which are each 4'x12' raised growing beds. The beds allow gardeners full sun from sunrise to sunset, in raised beds naturally warmed and protected, for growing produce organically for home consumption.
We have a wonderful community of gardeners, who swap seeds and plants and share their successes and failures with their neighboring gardeners.
Now in our fourteenth year, many of our returning gardeners have become experts at planning and tending their gardens, and choosing varieties well suited for our rich soil in the protected beds. Our gardeners have increased their production by carefully timing succession crops, bringing produce to their families well into October. Wind Hill is happy to offer compost, gardening tips, camaraderie and neighborly competition to our community of gardeners.
Our gardeners are invited to join our weekly gatherings, held on Monday evenings: a time to sit and share with other gardeners and farm volunteers after they finish their garden or farm tasks.
INCLUSIVITY GARDEN PROGRAM 2024
We are pleased to be the recipient this year of an $11,000 grant for community gardens restoration and an inclusivity gardens program from the Sestero Fund at the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving. We are excited to be using this grant money to continue to promote inclusivity in farming. We are currently looking to attract more people to participate by becoming a gardener representing diverse culture and cuisine.
We welcome people with farming and gardening interests to participate in our community gardens and program to protect and celebrate the Longo Open Space Area which is the home of Wind Hill Community Farm.
