Hastings Farm, Suffield 

Hastings Farm is a multi-generational dairy farm which began when Howard Hastings diversified the family’s tobacco farm by adding a small dairy herd.   

Today, the fourth generation milks a mix of approximately 100 Holsteins and Jerseys in the dairy herd. The cattle range in age from just shy of 12 years old to only a few days. Visitors are always welcome to come meet the cows that make your milk and learn about the farm.
