When the DeFrancesco family came to Northford in 1907, they put down roots that are still here. Today Joe Jr., his wife Linda, and their sons Joe, Darren, and Michael run the operation — along with the next generation of family already working the land. Ten acres of greenhouse. 120 acres of field crops. Same family, same farm, more than a hundred years later.
We grow for wholesale customers who want something better. Our selection runs deep and changes with the season — varieties you won't find at a big-box store, and quality that reflects four generations of knowing how to grow. When your customers ask what makes your product different, this is part of the answer.

120 acres of GAP-certified, non-GMO produce grown right here in Northford. We grow for wholesalers across the Northeast and New York who want to know exactly where their product comes from — and know someone stands behind it
This is a visual business, and there's no substitute for seeing it yourself. Our buyers tell us the same thing — when you walk the rows and choose what you bring back to your store, you know exactly what your customers are getting. We welcome buyers who want to come out, walk the greenhouses, and hand-select their product. Call ahead to arrange a visit.
Orders accepted by phone, fax, and email. If emailing or faxing, a follow up call to us is appreciated.
