We are just in our second growing season and learning a lot. We deeply appreciate the support of our community with our CSA members and the folks who got flowers from us for Mother's Day and other occasions. As part of giving back to the community, today we gifted 4 teachers who got the most comments in our town group page with flowers. This is to thank them for their dedication to the children of our community. We also thank all you followers for being a part of this.

We kicked off our CSA last week with wine, cheese and cake Coincidentally, we had a ribbon cutting ceromony with the town officials. It was great to catch up with our CSA friends from last year and meet our new members. We had a representative from the CT Dept of Ag join us as well as folks from . To make it convenient for those who live on the other side of town, Zesto will be a pick up location for CSA pickups and bouquet preorders. Details coming soon.
Photos courtsey of and one of our CSA members who shared a photo of their bouquet .
Thank you all for a great launch to this season

The good news is: the rain will be moving out of Newtown by mid morning, so we shouldn't be under rain for both of today's ribbon-cutting activities.

The first of two ribbon-cutting events is happening at 12 pm April 24 celebrating green jobs and green energy generation at Solar of Newtown at 75 Glen Road. Your hosts will be CEO Quinn Hogue and co-founder Jason Campbell and their team.

Then at 3 pm that day, it’s off to tout Great Ring Farm, (corner of Berkshire / Rte. 34 and Great Ring Road) one of the many agricultural contributors to Newtown’s economy and quality of life. Our hosts - Roberta and Chandravir Ahuja - produce everything from goat's milk and eggs, to a variety of traditional New England and ethnic specialty crops, along with flowers. Roberta is also an accomplished pottery maker and will soon be opening an instruction studio here in town!

Hope to see you - and please bring a friend, spouse, colleague, etc.

Dear Farm friends. Some of you live in Newtown and may have already seen this but just wanted to share with the rest that we were featured in the Newtown Bee this week. To our CSA members I can’t thank you all enough because we would not have made it here without your encouragement and support.

Earlier this week we shared some photos of what Great Ring Farm and the neighborhood looked like long ago . Today we are reflecting on our journey into farming that accelerated when we got our goats 4 years ago.

We are so excited about this upcoming season. The flowers in our low tunnel are doing great. The weather is warming up and we will already start preparing more beds this weekend. In a few weeks we will be planting more flowers (Lisianthus, Stock and Snapdragons) and also some vegetable including Kale and Spinach. A shout out to our CSA members. We are sold out of our "Champion " subscriptions. We still have some other options so do check out https://www.greatringfarm.com/flower-csa-info.html if you are interested. While we eagerly await this season we thought it would be cool to share some photos of what the original Great Ring Farm looked like about 40 years ago.

In our first season, the hectic work pace has not given us much time to update our social media. However, are having lots of fun. We had a bountiful 9th week of harvest - and will lots of flowers to play with, we gave our CSA members a choice of 4 themese for their bouquets. Half opted for Barbie - pretty in pink. A few chose America - Red, White and Blue. Some asked for a regular "Bright Summer" theme and one went with Oppenheimer - Red, Orange and Yellow. Among the flowers we used we had Pink and White Lisianthus, Blue Delphinium, Chocolate Sunflowers - bright red Jacob Cline Monardas and a few bouquets even got our first Eucaplytus of the year. Please vote in the comments on what bouquet you liked best.
