Town Farm Dairy was purchased by Amos Eno after the Civil War and then deeded to the Town of Simsbury with the proviso that it would be a farm for the poor. Today Town Farm Dairy is certified fully organic; both the land and cows have earned certification. As part of the preservation plans, the farm will be available to agriculture students from area colleges to study organic dairy farming techniques and to area public and private schools for educational purposes.
