Hoadley Hills Farm Now Certified Organic

Hoadley Hills Farm Organic News Banner

August 20, 2025

Earlier this year we introduced several newly certified organic farms that are graduates of our Transition to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP), and today we’re proud to add another farm to that list.

Hoadley Hills Farm (South Kent) is the first certified organic livestock farm in Connecticut. They produce pasture-raised pork, chicken, turkey, and eggs, as well as grass-fed and pasture-raised beef.

We started farming because we couldn’t find the kind of meat we wanted to eat, ourselves. We wanted to know where it came from, how it was raised, and whether it aligned with our values. We knew that if we were looking for this kind of food, other people probably were too. We believe in transparency, trust, and quality — and we want to give that to our community.

Hoadley Hills Farm’s products can be found at the New Milford Farmers Market, the Kent Farmers Market, the Westport Farmers Market, and purchased online through their website.

Jared Krawitz of Closter Farm in New Jersey provided mentorship for Hoadley Hills Farm’s certification.

Farmers who are interested in learning more about becoming a TOPP participant – either for mentorship in the organic certification process or to provide mentorship to farmers on their way to organic certification – should visit our TOPP program page for more information.
