Bitta‑Blue Farm

About the Farm

Nestled in the Connecticut countryside, Bitta-Blue Farm is a small-scale, family-run operation with a rich history of over thirty years. Founded by Susan Willis, the farm emerged from a personal quest to meet the nutritional needs of her vegetarian family. Over time, it blossomed into a thriving CSA and community hub, producing an array of organic crops while embracing sustainable and earth-conscious farming practices.

The farm grows a colorful array of vegetables, with specialties like heirloom tomatoes, garlic, and Asian greens taking center stage. A deep commitment to soil health drives everything at Bitta-Blue, from composting with manure and hay to careful mulching and crop rotation. Beyond the vegetables, the farm is home to chickens, ducks, and French Alpine goats, whose milk and eggs nourish both the soil and the local community. Through diligent experimentation, Bitta-Blue strikes a balance between rustic farming traditions and innovation by exploring resilient heirloom varieties and heat-tolerant crops.

Bitta-Blue Farm is more than a plot of cultivated land; it’s a place where values grow alongside vegetables. Susan and her family welcome neighbors and CSA members not just to pick up produce, but to exchange recipes, learn about gardening, and connect with the rhythms of the seasons. From teaching sustainable gardening to processing small-batch jams and pickles, Bitta-Blue embodies a community-centered approach to farming rooted in ecological care and shared nourishment.
