Guided Greenhouse Tours:
Have you ever wondered how over 100,000 pounds of tomatoes are grown chemically free in a modern greenhouse? Ben March, greenhouse manager at March Farm would be happy to show you. While taking a guided tour through the crop of over 6,000 plants you'll learn what it takes to plant, manage & maintain the largest greenhouse tomato operation in the state of Connecticut. Topics covered include:
*State of the art greenhouse covering, heating, ventilation, irrigation & environmental controls.
*Greenhouse preparation (pre & post harvest).
*Seed selection, planting, transplanting & daily plant maintenance.
*Coconut fiber growing medium.
*Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program featuring beneficial insects for pollination & pest control.
Greenhouse tours are available Monday through Friday during the months of April, May & June. Two tours are available each day: 1PM to 2PM & 3PM to 4PM.
A minimum group of 4 @ $25/person is required to schedule tour(maximum group is 8 people).

Although not Certified Organic, our Greenhouse Grown Tomatoes, Herbs & Vegetables have been grown chemically free without the use of fungicides or pesticides thanks to an IPM (Integrated Pest Management Program) developed in cooperation with the Uconn Agricultural Department. Featuring timely releases of beneficial insects for pest control & advanced environmental controls for disease prevention, our IPM has eliminated the need for chemical sprays, a goal March Farm has been working towards for the past Five Years!
Specializing in our own home grown fruits & vegetables, The March Farm store features fresh Connecticut grown produce in season, fresh baked products from our farm bakery and specialty items from some of the region's top food vendors.
Centrally located on the farm, the store & parking area is walking distance from Pick Your Own berries & fruit, Hayloft Playscape & Picnic Pavilion, Pondside Animal Yard, and the Farm Hiking Trails.
