2024 Farm Share Program Underway on Farms Across Connecticut
February 5, 2024
This year’s Farm Share Program is underway, and we’re excited to welcome both returning and new farms. The Farm Share Program reduces the cost of a local CSA (community supported agriculture) share for individuals in need of financial assistance, while ensuring farmers are fully paid. A CSA is a subscription (usually weekly) from a farm for a regular supply of farm-fresh veggies, dairy products, meats, bread, and more. This year’s current roster of participating farms is:
- Park City Harvest – Bridgeport (Donation link)
- Marble Valley Farm – Kent (Donation link)
- KDCrop Farms – Chaplin (Donation link)
- Massaro Community Farm – Woodbridge (Donation link)
- Little Ark Farm – Enfield (Donation link)
- The Hickories Farm – Ridgefield (Donation link)
- Radical Roots Farm – Canterbury (Donation link)
- Star Light Gardens – Durham (Donation link)
- The Village Farm – Gaylordsville (Donation link)
- Common Ground High School – New Haven (Donation link)
- Northwest Corner Farm – Winsted (Donation link)
- Sub Edge Farm – Farmington (Donation link)
- Adamah Farm – Falls Village (Donation link)
- Fire Ring Farm – Portland (Donation link)
- Sunset Farm – Naugatuck (Donation link)

Support Staff for the Farmland Access Grant Program
On February 20, the Connecticut Appropriations Committee will hold their public hearing on Department of Agriculture funding appropriations. In the previous legislative session, they passed the Farmland Access Grant Program, which aims to help farmers overcome barriers to accessing land and create viable pathways for farm succession. However, there is currently no funding for staff to administer this program, which would effectively render the program non-operational. We urge concerned constituents to contact their state legislators – especially those who legislators also sit on the Appropriations Committee – and ask them to provide funding for these critical staff positions.
