Granby’s Roots Are in Agriculture.

Granby's rural character is rooted in the tradition of New England agriculture - the family small farm, the fruit orchard, and the local dairy.

Today, we’re unique in the Farmington Valley with our number of working farms and the diversity of our agricultural businesses. We’re home to dairy farms, goat farms, horse ranches, equestrian centers, orchards, beef cattle, a hemp farm, vegetable farms, and more.

Local farms provide more than fresh food. 

Supporting local farms helps preserve local farmland and benefits both farmers and consumers in many ways.

  • Farms provide jobs and economic development

  • Agriculture enhances the residents' quality of life

  • Visitors come to enjoy the agritourism

  • Farmers were the first environmentalists!

  • A local food supply ensures food security.
