Fort Hill Farm is a certified organic farm rooted in the sandy loam of the Sunny Valley Preserve in New Milford, Connecticut. Established in 2002 by Paul Bucciaglia, the farm grew from four bare acres into one of the region’s most respected organic producers, stewarded with care by Paul and his partner Rebecca Batchie. Together with their talented crew, they farm nearly 20 acres using time-honored ecological practices—no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, just compost, cover crops, and soil-first principles that honor the land’s deep agrarian and Indigenous history.

Paul and Rebecca are a complementary force. Paul holds degrees in agriculture and plant biology and began his path through apprenticeships and CSA management before founding Fort Hill. Rebecca, a trained horticulturist with a passion for food, transitioned from ornamental gardening to farming through her work at the farm and studies in Critical Social Thought. Their shared commitment to sustainability, community nourishment, and high-quality produce powers everything they do.

Today, Fort Hill Farm serves over 300 CSA members through its innovative debit-style Harvest Card, attends multiple farmers’ markets, and sells directly through a bustling on-farm stand. Their offerings span over 225 varieties of vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers, including a beloved Pick-Your-Own program and a nationally recognized collection of certified organic dahlia tubers. Fort Hill is more than a farm—it is a living legacy, a place where healthy soil yields not just vibrant food, but meaningful connection.
