Guardians Farm

99 Bates Rock Rd
Southbury, CT 06488

Guardians Farm has found its home in the lovely Town of Southbury in the rolling hills of Western Connecticut.  Southbury has a rich farming history and we are excited to be a part of it during a time when many farms are closing.  The farm was built in 1850 and once was comprised of almost 200 acres.

Originally called Poverty Farm, the large barn shows remnants of its history as a dairy farm decades ago.  One of the entrances to the barn has "1850 PF" stamped in the concrete. Two large hay lofts give a glimpse into the large operation this farm once was. Five large stalls now house our herd of Nigerian Dwarf and Lamancha goats. What was once the dairy parlor is now the home to our kidding stalls which we constructed with lumber from a mill in Harwinton, CT.  With the expansion of our farm including Holsteins and Jersey cows the dairy parlor will be revived in 2021.  The barn's concrete silo overlooks the property and gives the farm that quintessential old New England feel.
