The History of Tulmeadow Farm


Members of the Tuller family have been farming the land in West Simsbury, Connecticut for over 240 years, since 1768. While Tulmeadow Farm has always been a diversified family farm, it hasn’t always been named Tulmeadow. In earlier days, a farm was simply named after the farmer who was cultivating its land, but in the first half of the 1900’s, Tulmeadow Farm was known as Basswood Farm, named after several large basswood trees that were growing around the houses and barns on the land.


O. D. Tuller purchased a number of purebred Holstein Dairy Cattle to raise on the farm in the 1950’s. He wanted to register the calves that were born from these cows with the Holstein Association USA using the farm name as the prefix of the calves registered name. He discovered that Basswood was already a prefix of another dairy farms’ animals, hence, a field north of the cow barn known as Tuller Meadow became the foundation of the name Tulmeadow.


Our Farm Store features our own seasonal produce including baby lettuce, mesculin mix, arugula, spinach, Swiss chard and tatsoi which we begin harvesting from our greenhouses in early April along with basil. By June we are producing tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and scallions in greenhouses. Field crops including broccoli, cabbage, bok-choy and Swiss chard are ready for harvest later in June. In July sweet corn starts ripening, closely followed by squashes, zucchini, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, green beans, eggplant and cucumbers.
