What daffodil hill growers does

Daffodil Hill Growers is a privately held, third-generation family farm operating on 22 acres at 124 Horse Fence Hill Road in Southbury, Connecticut. The farm grows vegetables, cut flowers, and specialty crops using a hybrid of organic techniques and Integrated Pest Management (IPM), supported by five greenhouses and high-tunnel infrastructure that enables year-round production of salad mix and greens from November through May. Heirloom tomato and specialty vegetable varieties are a focal point of the product mix.

The business operates four revenue streams: a 17-week Summer CSA ($425 small share / $595 full share), an 8-week Fall/Early Winter CSA ($290 share plus optional $130 fruit add-on sourced from Rogers Orchard), direct sales at four Connecticut farmers' markets (Newtown, Southbury, Bethel, Stratford Shakespeare), and floral design services for weddings and events. Distribution is entirely direct-to-consumer via farm pickup, farmers' market booths, and event delivery. CSA members receive a 10% discount on extras and weekly pre-order access.

The operation is family-run with 1-10 employees spanning co-owners Sara and Dan, parents Dave and Kathy, sister Laura, and daughter Maggie. Sales channels are word-of-mouth driven, augmented by a website and e-newsletter. There is no external funding, no institutional ownership, and no public financials disclosed.
