It will be hard to beat having almost all of our farm-fresh food delivered to my house each week (when we move from MD to CT this July), but I am truly surprised at all the farms we will have access to in Mystic. There is even a Permaculture Urban Farm in Groton!!!!! Woohoo!
If you’d like to find some farm-fresh food in your area, just go to localharvest.org. You might be surprised at how many awesome farms are near you.
If you are trying to find raw milk near you, go to realmilk.com. It might seem like there is no source near you but they don’t typically publish the contact info due to the harassment by the USDA/FDA (“FDA, STEP AWAY from my plate!!!”). If there is an email address in your state, contact them and there might just be a farm that delivers to your area. If not, there may be other people in your area who take turns driving to the farm.

Groton, CT 06340
We are a very small family farm, located in Groton. We raise antique breeds of animals, both to preserve these breeds and to provide ourselves with a quality and chemical free foodsource. Among the heritage breeds we have here at Red Fence Farm are Highland cattle, Various heritage Turkeys, Tamworth pigs , freedom ranger broilers and various free range chickens. We sold out of fresh turkeys last year. All birds are processed here at our farm and vaccum packed after the chilling down period. In order to conform to state and federal regulations, we do not ship and all products must be picked up at the farm. Prices vary according to the item, and customer participation is encouraged in the processing of these animals.
