Stone Wall Dairy Farm
and Stone Wall Vegetables comprise a diversified farm located along the Housatonic River in Cornwall Bridge, Connecticut. While the land might have been farmed since the 1700s, the previous owners operated the farm since 1921, and in 2004 new owners started the raw milk dairy. Currently the land is owned and preserved by the state, town, and privately. We believe diversity and a holistic approach is important for the long term health of the farm. Stone Wall Dairy Farm manages over 60 acres for pasture and hay land, producing and bottling Raw Milk which it sells from the farm and at 13 area stores. Stone Wall Dairy Farm also sells eggs from its own chickens and sometimes raises pigs to help recycle nutrients throughout the farm's ecosystem. In addition to the dairy, roughly 3 acres of vegetables are grown. A variety of crops are raised for a 25-member CSA, farmer’s market, and local natural food stores. Tractors are used for major tillage work, mowing, and other land preparation. Otherwise, hands and hand tools are our preferred implements. The farms are not certified organic but use many organic and ecological production practices including cover cropping, rotational grazing/growing, and manure management.
