About Jones Family Farms

Jones Family Farms, nestled in the White Hills of Shelton, with its 19th century dairy barn and homestead farmhouse, impresses the visitor as a peaceful and relaxed living environment. The beautiful countryside with its orderly rows of Christmas trees, neat stonewalls, and well-maintained fields are the result of efforts by seven generations of Jones family farmers. The farmers of the 400-acre working farm invite families to visit and harvest seasonal crops. Presently under cultivation are 200 acres of Christmas trees, 15 acres of strawberries, 15 acres of blueberries, and 25 acres of pumpkins, gourds and squash. The Jones farmers harvest these crops from three different farm locations known as the Homestead Farm, the Valley Farm, and Pumpkinseed Hill. The farm also manages 50 acres of hay land and 50 acres of woodlots. Over five acres of grapes are in production for the farm's winery. We care for our crops and the land of the Jones Farm to inspire people through the beauty of the landscape and the miracle of growing plants. We help all to understand the nature of sustainable agriculture and the importance of caring for the earth, its plants and animals. “We believe we grow the best agricultural products in an environmentally sustainable way. We’re a family that cares passionately for the land and we hope we can share that passion with you.” Terry Jones "Be Good To The Land And The Land Will Be Good To You" - Phillip James Jones 1821-1912
