	Fort Hill Farm is a certified organic farm producing vegetables, herbs, and small fruit in New Milford, CT. The farm is rented from Sunny Valley Preserve, a project of The Nature Conservancy. We grow produce on approximately 14 acres. Produce is sold through farmers markets, a 300-share CSA, and a small number of wholesale accounts. We produce most of the farm's transplants in our greenhouse and also grow greenhouse tomatoes in two additional hoophouses. I began farming at Fort Hill in 2002, after having managed or worked on small-scale organic farms for several years. —Paul
