Killam & Bassette Farmstead is a family farm in South Glastonbury, Connecticut, growing fruits and vegetables since 1893 with free range eggs, USDA pork and chicken and a year round farm stand.
Killam & Bassette Farmstead has been farming in South Glastonbury, Connecticut since 1893.
Kevin Bassette started working for Henry Killam at nine years old on what was then a dairy and tobacco farm, and he and Chris Bassette moved it into produce as milk prices declined. Today the family grows quality fruits and vegetables, picks its sweet corn the morning it is sold, and produces free range eggs, award winning canned goods and all natural, non GMO USDA pork and chicken. They spray minimally, using integrated pest management with beneficial insects wherever they can.
The farm stand at 1098 Main Street is open all year, daily from Mother's Day to December 31 and Tuesday to Sunday through winter. The family runs three CSA programs, attends 18 farmers markets a season, and hosts farm dinner fundraisers for a memorial scholarship. The stand also carries Connecticut milk, cheeses, honey, maple syrup and pies from other local producers alongside its own goods.

The eggs I bought are 8 dollars a dozen. While the price is a bit high, you are getting fresh farm eggs. Their other products are natural but highly priced too.

Great local farm-stand! Family favorite for sure! Plenty of local businesses represented here! Run by a family who cares about the community and supporting it! Great selection of produce and farm raised meats and eggs.
