More about Cold Spring Farm:

Where Food & Nature Grow Together 

Established in 2007, Cold Spring Farm is a year-round, full diet, full heart farm located in East Haddam, Connecticut. It comprises 300 acres of pastureland, hay fields, vegetable gardens, and forestland above Lake Hayward, and is home to cows, pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, peacocks, dogs, cats, and kids, along with an abundance of wildlife. 

The farm is nature-focused, producing an abundant selection of mouth-watering heirloom vegetables and fruits, as well as gorgeous herbs and flowers, delicious eggs from our happy hens, geese, and ducks, dairy products, and meats including beef, pork, chicken, turkey, and lamb. In addition, Cold Spring Farm operates a year-round food share program, otherwise known as CSA, or Community Supported Agriculture. 

CSF’s year-round Farm Stand is open daily from 7 am to 7 pm, and products can also be found in Connecticut restaurants, at independently-owned grocery stores, on University campuses, and at local farmers’ markets. CSF also hosts events on the farm throughout the year, including Stargazing Night, Families On the Farm, the Winter Harvest Farmers’ Market, Breakfasts On the Farm, and so much more!
