Welcome to Andreotti Family Farm.  “We are a family operation and have worked our land for three generations. In 1926 our grandparents started the farm and produced primarily artichokes. Now our farm is over 90 years old, we produce just about every winter vegetable you can imagine, and we offer a You Pick Sunflower Field and Pumpkin Patch in the Fall. We are passionate about our pumpkins, sunflowers, and produce, and we look forward to putting our bounty on your table.”

Their page on Facebook also mentions a Haunted Corn Maze!

Buttonwood Farm “began as a dairy farm in 1975, using an old sawmill to mill lumber from timber grown on our land. Since that time, the farm has been used to produce feed for cattle and milk for the wholesale market, as well as merchandising cattle.

As our family has grown, the farm has become more diverse. A new sawmill has replaced the old one, we began growing hay and silage for sale, and began raising and marketing dairy and beef cattle.

October 1997 marked a new chapter in our farm history. We felled trees for logs, milled logs for lumber, and less than a year later, the new Buttonwood Farm Ice Cream stand was built.

With our history of making things from scratch, it seemed only natural that our ice cream would follow suit. We researched old recipes, purchased equipment, and began with only premium ingredients. Through practice, we have learned to make the best ice cream available anywhere.”

Each year we plant over 14 acres of sunflowers and harvest approximately 300,000 blooms for your viewing pleasure and to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Connecticut, a non-profit organization dedicated to granting wishes to children with critical illnesses.

Sunflowers are available while supplies last.  We offer cut your sunflowers with a $2 per flower donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Connecticut.  100% of proceeds of our sunflower sales are given directly to Make-A-Wish, as well as proceeds from our t-shirt sales, which feature a unique sunflower design each season.

Over the past 14 seasons growing sunflowers we have been able to donate over one million dollars to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, thanks to the generosity of our visitors.”
