MEET YOUR FARMERS:THE SCHULZ FArMILY

We are a family owned and run farm located in New Milford, CT. Our primary farm is located at the CT Audubon's Jane and George Pratt Valley Preserve. We also have several other locations we grow on. We bring our vegetables directly to the community through Community Supported Agriculture (also called a CSA or Subscription Vegetable Far

While planning occurs year round planting the fields begins in April and continues throughout summer, ensuring a continuous supply of fresh high-quality vegetables. Clatter Valley Farm also raises limited amounts of our own beef, pork and chicken. We also offer farm fresh eggs as available to CSA members and at our local farmers markets.

We raise over 50 acres of fruits and vegetables and to assure freshest quality, we pick or veggies daily. Weeds are cultivated manually and we primarily use manure from our own compost for fertilizer. During summer months we harvest about fifty acres of hay for our own use as well as for sale to local farms.
We offer a large selection of your favorites including our own mouth-watering, sweet corn and conventional and heirloom tomatoes. Besides joining our CSA in New Milford, visit us at your local Farmer's Market in Danbury, CT which is open Fridays mid-June through mid-October and our Farm Stand in New Milford. Additionally our produce has been available in various restaurants throughout Litchfield and Fairfield counties.

MEET YOUR FARMERS:THE SCHULZ FArMILY

Jeremy Schulz

A New Milford native Jeremy did not come from a farm family but got his feet wet in agriculture at a young age; working with cows and crops at Sunny Valley Farm in New Milford. This experience drove him to the 2 year agriculture program at UCONN where upon completion he stayed on to get an B.S. in Agricultural Resource Econom

Jeremy Schulz

On the farm, it's all hands helping wherever needed. However, the lion's share of picking seed varieties, preparing the fields, and precision tractor work falls to Jeremy.

In addition to his tireless efforts at Clatter Valley Farm Jeremy believes in working for and giving back to the agricultural community that he loves so much. In this spirit he was one of the founding (and current) members of the New Milford Farmland Preservation Committee. Jeremy has also supported Agriculture by successfully lobbying for farmers in Washington DC with the New York State Agribusiness Association (NYSABA). He is a two time past president, and current board member of NYSABA.

Continuous learning and growth is also a priority for Jeremy. He regularly attends and speaks at grower meetings and farm seminars to keep up to date with the latest in Agriculture. Several years ago in his efforts to expand his knowledge, Jeremy earned his International Certified Crop Advisor accreditation (CCA), a very rigorous program. Since acquiring this distinction he has joined the CCA board in an effort to help keep the guidelines current while also mentoring future candidates!

Willow Schulz

Growing up in Connecticut, Willow always had a love for animals and farms. Her Mother and Grandfather both had large gardens that she would willingly help with. At 13 she got her first job, working for a friends family at Mountain View Farms retail stand in Farmington, CT (still a great place if you are out that way!).

The day to day farm activities fall mostly to Willow. Her life long love of animals means that the daily farm chores are seldom a chore! During the vegetable season the day to day includes overseeing the planting, harvesting, packing, staffing for the CSA, farmers markets and the farm stand. Bringing the produce to the community is where Willow thrives.

Food security is Willow's passion. She fostered a partnership with City Center Danbury and the Danbury Senior Center to bring a mini "Farmers Market on the move" once a month to danbury seniors. During the sustained power outages in the summer of 2020 Willow joined forces again with City Center Danbury, other local farms and the United Way to help get food to vulnerable members of the Danbury community.

Willow also oversees donations to local food banks, most often Our Daily Bread at the New Milford United Methodist Church where she has also personally volunteers.

***If you are in need Our Daily Bread is open every Thursday from 3-6 at the New Milford United Methodist Church in the upper parking lot. All are welcome. ***

Olivia

Olivia is an animal fanatic who loves to ride!

During the growing season her help has become invaluable. Early season Olivia helps with preparing the garden and transplanting. As the season progresses, she also helps with the harvesting. Olivia can most often be found at our farm stand or one of our markets!

During Covid Olivia took on the responsibility of her own market. On Saturday's during market season, she heads to the Brox for the JBLOC (James Baldwin Outdoor Learning Center) Farmers Market! Her favorite part of the market? Besides the great family feel of the community, she gets to bring fresh produce to a VERY underserved community.

In the fall of 2022 Olivia started her journey as a Plant Science major at The University of Connecticut. Please join us in rooting for happiness and success on her life's path!

Aidan

Sandwiched between his sisters Aidan is the budding Apiarist of the farmily.

When he's not tending to his bees Aidan also helps in the garden and at the stand and markets. It was Aidan that found us a home at the Elephants Trunk Flea Market on Sunday's during our farming season.

Aidan's talent on the farm seems to lie in the mechanics. He is happiest when he's getting his hands dirty working on the tractors and equipment with Dad and Grandadddy!

Anna

The youngest of the farmily Anna is happiest surrounded by her animals!

Anna is an accomplished transplanter, she can even plant a row of tomatoes faster than most! Anna also loves helping at the farmstand and markets. While veggies are our bread and butter this little girl is a die hard fan of The Incredible Dr. Pol TV series and says she wants to be a Vet when she grows up. Only time will tell...

Grandaddy/Tractor Tom/Tommy Tomato

Retirement isn't retirement when your part of a farmily. Tom is always the first to step up when more hands are needed! He does anything and everything from planting and harvesting to farm and equipment repairs.... oh and quality control checks of the tomatoes of course!

Speaking of tomatoes, 2022 was the first year growing in our high tunnel. Tom immediately rose to the challenge, visiting other growers and watching YouTube videos on growing in a high tunnel. The first season was nothing short of spectacular. Way to go Tom!
