Why buy Connecticut Grown?

There’s nothing more delicious than a freshly picked, tree-ripened apple in the middle of September.

Just like there’s nothing more satisfying than the fragrance of lush, gorgeous flowers on the kitchen table.

In Connecticut we have it good: over 4,000 farms offering ripe-to-perfection fruits and vegetables. Wholesome meat, dairy and seafood. Sweet honey and maple syrup. Hundreds of varieties of plants and shrubs for your home and garden. We want to help bring all of it to your doorstep.

For more information please contact us. If you are a business and would like to participate in the Buy CT Grown program, please click here to download the 2024 Membership Enrollment packet.
