Description: Only 2 families have owned this property since the early 1700's, the Morgan Family, and the Browning family and their desendants. My Great Great Grandfather purchased this farm in 1856. I am the 5th Generation to work the land. Doc Browning started the orchards in the early 50's but there was a small orchard near the house that was always called the Old Orchard. We are currently in the process of restoring the orchard that fell into decline due to no activity for 27 years. Although many trees are gone, the remaining trees still bear fruit. We plan on allowing these remain trees to live out their natural lives, while planting new trees in a modern format much like a vineyard. Many of our varieties are Heirlooms that can not be purchased in any store. Our farm consists of 198 acres that 35 acres have been subdivided into 8 residential building lots for sale to help finance the restoration of this Farm.
All fruits and Vegetables here are Grown Organically and we are seeking certification for 2006 through Baystate Organic Certifiers as well as Certified Naturally Grown. We are members of NOFA and are listed at Local Harvest as well.
We are planting a new Stone fruit orchard in 2006 consisting of peaches, plums, nectarines and apricots. We sell our goods here on the farm and also at the Jewett City Farm Market on Mondays from 3-6:30 pm. This year we will be at the Mystic Farm Market at the Denison Historic Museum on Sundays from 12 noon to 3 pm. We have a 1.3 acre pond here that is teeming with Large Mouth Bass. If you fish, or care to teach your child how to this is the place. Just be kind enough to stop by the house first for permission and to find the best spots.
Apples: Crab Apples American Beauty, Wolf River, Early Macs, Macs, Red Delicious, Macoun, Milton, Yellow Transparent, Lodi, Red Astrican, Stayman Winesap, Baldwin Gravenstein, Red Gravenstein, Red Spy, and Cortlands.
Other Fruit: We grow Blackberries, Blueberries, some Raspberries, and will be testing some Cranberries this year. We start our season off in the firt and second week of May with our patch of Wild Garlic that is quite different from the regular Garlic you buy in stores.
