Located in Northford, Connecticut, DeFrancesco Farm has been a proud, family-run operation since 1907. Now five generations strong, the farm has cultivated not just crops, but a deep-rooted legacy in local agriculture. From their greenhouses to expansive fields, the DeFrancesco family has continuously upheld a commitment to nurturing the land that has sustained them for over a century.

In 1995, the farm expanded its reach to the community by opening a farm stand, offering fresh produce and a welcoming atmosphere that makes every visitor feel like part of the family. Dedicated to bridging the gap between grower and consumer, the farm encourages people to shop both onsite and online, making it easier to connect directly with the source of their food.

DeFrancesco Farm stands for more than just commerce—it champions the value of knowing where your food comes from and who grew it. Prioritizing quality over quantity, especially in their flowers and vegetables, the farm continues to offer a personalized, hands-on experience to every customer. Their philosophy is rooted in transparency, care, and the enduring love for both land and community.
