NEW MILFORD, CT
Certified Organic
Fort Hill Farm is a family-run, certified organic farm growing in the heart of New Milford, CT. Farmers use growing systems that are based on time-honored, ecologically sound agricultural principles that build healthy soils, such as composting, crop rotation, and the addition of rock mineral powders. Since 2002, Paul Bucciaglia, Rebecca Batchie, and a skilled and dedicated crew of growers, apprentices, family, and friends have promoted practices that result in healthy soils, reduce pest pressure, and protect the environment. Fort Hill Farm’s goal is to produce the best tasting, freshest, organically grown food they can for local food lovers in western Connecticut.
Fort Hill Farm offers a bountiful harvest of certified organic vegetables, herbs, flowers and small fruit on 15 acres of its 38 acre land base. Located on a terrace above the Housatonic River, the farm is blessed with flat, fertile, stone-free soils that have responded well to years of cover crops and compost applications. Customer favorites include local heirloom tomatoes, flavorful garlic, spicy fresh ginger, fresh lettuce, winter spinach, sweet corn, strawberries, and beautfiul flowers.
Fort Hill Farm’s farm stand is open to the public, and also supports a 200 share Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. You can find their local nourishing produce at the New Milford and Westport Farmers Markets, as well as some specialty markets and grocers including New Morning Market. In addition, Fort Hill Farm gives back to the community it serves by making sizable weekly donations to the New Milford Food Bank.

MORRIS, CT
Adheres to the National Organic Program Standards
Located in Morris, CT, Hungry Reaper Farm believes in growing food in a manner that is beneficial to the soil, water, air and people. On their farm, they use practices that adhere to the National Organic Program standards, which means Hungry Reaper Farm never uses synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. They only use OMRI (Organic Materials Review Institute) approved inputs and strive to manage their farm in a way that mimics the systems observed in nature. Compost teas, attracting beneficial insects, crop rotation, biodiversity of plants/soil microbes, and cover cropping are just some of the strategies Hungry Reaper Farm uses to produce delicious vegetables for their community. The result is produce that’s both safe andecologically friendly. While farmers often get a bad reputation for being damaging to the environment, Hunger Reaper Farm believes that responsible management of farmland has the power to sequester carbon, protect our natural resources, and ensure stability of our planet for generations to come.
Though they are not certified organic at this time, Hungry Reaper has an open invite to their customers to come to the farm and see their practices in action.
Jill Verzino and Will O’Meara are the Co-Founders and Farm Managers of Hungry Reaper Farm and are joined by Farm Manager, Enya Cunninghan. Together they make the team that drives the mission. You can find their vegetables for sale at New Morning Market, The Market in Bantam, Phinney’s Local Grocer in Newtown, and at The Farmers Market Of Black Rock in Bridgeport, CT. They also have a robust CSA that runs June through October where you can invest in the community farm, receiving a “share” of the available produce throughout the growing season weekly.
