Treat Farm is a featured farmer in Connecticut Farmer & Feast, a revolutionary new cookbook by Emily Brooks.

Although Treat Farm has been in the Treat family for many, many generations, when siblings Jeff, Heather, and Shelby think about farming, their first thoughts are of their grandparents, Charles and Addie Treat. Grandpa Treat was a dairy farmer, and although he was "retired" by the time they knew him, he and Grandma taught each of them countless lessons about farming, family and hard work.

Their parents, George and Sue Wilson, reinforced those lessons, and were responsible for starting this younger generation down the path to what is now a successful farm stand and cut-your-own Christmas tree business. 

Though their grandparents and parents are no longer with Jeff, Heather, and Shelby, their values and lessons continue to guide them.  They are proud to continue the family tradition of farming at Treat Farm, and invite you to come and visit with your own family.
