Marble Valley Farm - Kent, CT

             Located at 170 Kent Road, the Marble Valley Farm is one of Connecticut’s many farms (organic certification pending).  Started in 2006, the farm is owned by the Kent Land Trust and operated by Megan Haney – pictured below.  

While the farm is only a few acres, it provides Litchfield County residents with salad greens, tomatoes, garlic, potatoes, winter squash and other vegetables, herbs and flowers through a CSA program and weekend Farm Stand.

            The CT Post recently featured a story on an artist (George Wittman) who will be spending a year painting various scenes on the farm. It’s nice to see even the small farms getting the recognition that they deserve!
