Colchester CT - Your Guide to Our Local Farms
Farming is at the heart of Colchester's history since the town's founding in 1698. Today, the farms working our fertile lands have a valuable role in contributing to the rural character and quality of life here in Colchester.
Colchester farms provide scenic vistas, preserve open space and wildlife habitat, protect wetlands that filter drinking water, provide food security by maintaining the capacity of local food production, and contribute to our local economy.
