Our farm was established in 1911 and has been passed down four generations. 

It was began by Joseph and Mary Ann Dondero who had come over from Italy and lived for a short time in New York before moving to Glastonbury.  They primarily raised cows, raspberries, apples and grapes on the farm. 

Their  son, Edward, the youngest of 9 children married Doris Starr in 1947 and the two worked the farm with their son Eddie, raising mainly apples.  They sold  the majority of their produce wholesale, and they started "pick your own" as they really enjoyed working more with the public.

The farm is now being operated by Edward and Doris' grandson, Joe, his wife Sandy, their sons Joey Jr. & Nicholas and daughter Angelina.  The farm now attends 17 Farmers markets during the growing season and has a farm stand, bakery and a 7,200 s.f. greenhouse.
