Gilbertie’s Herb Gardens is a cherished Connecticut institution—one of the oldest family-run organic farms in the region, now into its fourth generation. Established in the 1920s as a cut flower farm, it has blossomed over the past century into the largest USDA Certified Organic herb grower on the East Coast. With locations in both Westport and Easton, Gilbertie’s has become a destination for home gardeners, chefs, health-conscious families, and plant lovers alike.

At the heart of Gilbertie’s is a deep reverence for soil-grown, organic cultivation. Sal Gilbertie, a third-generation grower and nationally recognized authority on herbs, continues to lead the operation with the same integrity and commitment that defined his ancestors. Every herb, vegetable, and microgreen is grown in carefully blended soil—free of chemicals, nurtured with compost, and watered with UV-treated, bacteria-free water. The result is a nutrient-dense, intensely flavorful product unmatched by hydroponic alternatives. With over 400 varieties of herbs and vegetables and more than 40 microgreen blends, Gilbertie’s offerings serve both retail shoppers and wholesale partners across the Northeast.

But Gilbertie’s is more than a farm—it’s a community hub, a classroom, and a sanctuary for anyone seeking connection to nature. The Westport garden center hosts lectures, plant demos, and seasonal events, while also supporting local nonprofits, schools, and community gardens. Guided by the belief that good food starts with good soil, Gilbertie’s continues to inspire and nourish its community one organic leaf at a time.
