Salmon Kill Farm

About the Farm

Salmon Kill Farm is a deeply personal endeavor, born not of a business plan, but of curiosity, instinct, and a respect for land and legacy. Located in Salisbury, Connecticut, the farm began when a family stumbled upon a historic homestead with bricks made from Salmon Kill Creek silt. What followed was an unhurried, beautiful unfolding—a daughter organizing the purchase of donkeys at age ten, goats introduced to manage invasive plants, chickens arriving years later, and an orchard planted with hopes bees might one day arrive. In time, bees did come—via their own apiary—and the once quiet plot grew into a certified organic and Certified Humane farm known for its award-winning honey, rainbow-hued eggs, and garden-to-pantry seasonal offerings.

Every product from Salmon Kill Farm reflects an intentional choice. Their honey is raw and unpasteurized, preserving the floral complexity of the native wildflowers, clover, fruit trees, and herbs that the bees forage on. Their chickens roam freely, live long, healthy lives, and produce marigold-yolked eggs in a kaleidoscope of colors—ivory, blue, green, brown, peach—each one unique. Their orchard and garden yield a mix of classic and uncommon fruits and vegetables, which they transform into small-batch chutneys, jams, and hot sauces. Everything is grown with care, harvested with reverence, and made with the simplest, purest ingredients.

Salmon Kill Farm is more than just a farm—it’s a statement. A quiet, daily commitment to regeneration, slow growth, and food that honors the land it comes from. Guided by farmers like Debra Bain and Claire Lasseur, the farm is held together by relationships—between people, animals, and soil. Their story is living proof that sustainable farming isn't built overnight, but grown slowly with love, humility, and the wisdom of trial and error.
