Located on 16 quiet acres in East Haddam, Connecticut, Four Root Farm is a small and diverse Certified Organic vegetable and cut flower farm. We are committed to growing nutritious, delicious, and highly unusual produce. The farm is owned equally by its four farmers: partners and best friends who share a common vision for a business model that sustains our community, our land, our selves, our soil, and our food system. 

Having begun our journey on this land in 2015, we are now cultivating approximately five acres of vegetables, cut flowers, and berries. The farm is sheltered by deep forest in all directions, and has been a farm in some form for at least the last three generations. As far as we know, blueberries and honey were the main outputs in the farm's previous iteration. Though the land was largely dormant when we bought it, it is home to a productive group of blueberry bushes (which are significantly older then any of us) and a few aging apple trees in an orchard that we're in the process of rehabilitating. 

Our region of central Connecticut is home to a number of other great farms, and some rich folklore. A localized geological condition regularly generates countless tiny earthquakes, which sometimes make the hills moan and howl - called the "Moodus Noises", these earthquakes were the subject of many myths and legends during the colonial era, and we're fascinated. According to our neighbors, we shouldn't be alarmed if it sounds like there's a freight train barreling through our fields - it's just the Noises. Noted.

Our farm business was originally located at the Thomas Darling House in Woodbridge, CT, and called Darling Farm. For three years, from 2012 - 2014, we grew vegetables on land that we rented from the town. We are extremely proud to have successfully made the transition to farm ownership and to be building on what we started there.
