About the Farm
Steeped in over a century of familial tradition, Barberry Hill Farm in Madison traces its roots to 1909 when it was first built by Henry Warren Goddard, a New York City circuit court judge and summer visitor to the Connecticut shore. He and his siblings cherished Madison’s coastal charm, prompting both Henry and his brother to purchase land and construct weekend retreats. Over generations, the property passed through family hands, evolving from a gentleman’s country retreat to a dynamic working farm under the stewardship of Kingsley Goddard, who took the reins in 1987 following his father's passing.
Today, Barberry Hill Farm thrives through a thoughtful blend of heritage and forward-thinking agricultural practices. Focused on cultivating sustainable, pesticide-free produce, the farm’s mission is deeply rooted in ecological responsibility and local community enrichment. The farm’s vibrant offerings—ranging from heirloom tomatoes to hand-cut flowers—are made available through its welcoming farm stand, community-supported agriculture (CSA) shares, and thoughtfully curated on-site events.
At its heart, Barberry Hill Farm is more than a place of crops and livestock—it is a living legacy of stewardship and storytelling. By fostering a meaningful connection between people and the land, the farm invites residents and visitors alike to embrace slow food principles and the enduring value of knowing exactly where one’s ingredients come from. Through every harvest shared and every bouquet gathered, the Goddard family continues to honor their coastal heritage and sustain the land that has sustained them for generations.
