SPORT HILL FARM
Welcome to Sport Hill Farm's Website. We are a small family farm located in Easton whose mission is to supply everyone we can with fresh, locally grown , healthy produce. Our produce begins as seeds in our greenhouse and is grown using only organic methods. We are a member of CT NOFA , have signed the Farmers' Pledge, and began farming in 2001.
THE BIRTH OF SPORT HILL FARM
Sport Hill Farm began in 2001, at a time when many established farms were selling off their fertile land to developers, My husband and I took a gamble to see if we could make a difference. When we purchased this house, it was not a working farm, we turned it into a farm through hard work and perseverence. We also had to take a step out-of -the box especially since Easton is a town rich in agriculture and has many established farms. To do this we offer a 21 week CSA Program to those who enjoy seasonal eating, we're also involved in a yearly summer farm camp program, and grow our produce without harmful chemicals. Sport Hill Farm has become a place for children to come and learn as well as giving people a place to buy fresh,local, delicious produce. We are proud of our accomplisments so far. Connecticut is a state rich in agriculture and I am lucky to be a part of it. Log onto the State of Connecticut website to find a listing of farms and Farmers' Markets located near you.

WHAT WE GROW
Connecticut is a great state to experience seasonal eating since we have such diverse weather, it enables us to grow a variety of different produce. In the spring when the days are warm and the nights are cool, healthy greens are abundant such as lettuces, arugula and spinach. Beets, radishes, swiss chard, and cabbage also like these temperatures. Summer brings about all our favorites such as tomatoes,corn,onions, garlic,eggplant, zucchini, cucumbers, and beans. Fall comes around and it's back to the leafy greens as well as many comfort foods such as potatoes,acorn or butternut squash, kohlrabi, kale and brussel sprouts. Our 2008 growing crop consisted of asparagus,snap peas, beets, radishes, three varieties of lettuce as well as a salad mix, cabbage, zucchini, five potatoe varieties,bell peppers, hot peppers,onions, leeks,broccoli, cauliflower,tomatoes (including heirlooms), beans, garlic, garlic scapes, eggplant, spaghetti squash, cantelope, watermelon, mustard greens, and cutting flowers.
