Why this matters (and can save you money)
Shorter chain, fresher staples. Milk and yogurt that skip cross-country trucking simply taste better and often last longer in your fridge. (Several of these dairies pasteurize and bottle on site.)
Prices that make sense. Farm eggs and dairy frequently match—or undercut—premium grocery labels because there’s no middleman.
Neighbors supporting neighbors. When you buy a dozen eggs in West Simsbury or a quart of yogurt in North Granby, you’re paying the people who coach your kids, plow your roads, and donate to the school raffle. That money stays put, preserving open space and keeping working farms viable.
A simple fall “milk-and-eggs” loop
Start at Cows Coop in Canton for eggs, swing to Tulmeadow for ice cream (you’ve earned it), pop over to The Garlic Farm for produce, add Sweet Pea for milk and yogurt, and finish at Sub Edge or Clatter Ridge for meats. That’s dinner—and breakfast—handled, with a story behind every bite.
