Tucked in the tranquil town of Thompson, Connecticut, Fort Hill Farms stands as a vibrant testament to agricultural heritage and immersive outdoor experiences. The farm is a haven where nature, family, and sustainability converge, offering scenic beauty, seasonal attractions, and hands-on events that embrace the rhythms of rural life. At its heart, Fort Hill Farms is a year-round retreat inviting visitors to stroll through lush nature trails, marvel at curated gardens, and lose themselves in the iconic corn maze every autumn.

Owned and lovingly operated by Jared and Kristin Kies, Fort Hill Farms also includes The Farmer’s Porch—an extension of their working dairy farm and personal dream brought to life. From this roadside farm stand, the family proudly offers local staples like eggs and The Farmer’s Cow milk, with products from the revered Cabot Creamery Cooperative also featured. Their dedication to quality, accessibility, and community roots supports not only their own livelihood, but also helps sustain a local food movement cherished by neighbors and newcomers alike.

The farm’s values of connection, education, and environmental mindfulness shape every interaction and experience offered on-site. Whether visitors come to build gingerbread houses, sip warm soup, or engage in a serene nature walk, Fort Hill Farms encourages all to pause, breathe deep, and energize in the natural world’s simple gifts. Through the seasons, it remains a sanctuary of learning, joy, and genuine New England farming spirit.
