About the Heckscher Farm
Heckscher Farm is a charming 10-acre working farm located at 39 Scofieldtown Road in Stamford, Connecticut. This rural oasis offers visitors a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, with picturesque barns, an organic vegetable garden, open pastures, and a variety of farm animals. Established in 1955 with the help of the Heckscher Foundation for Children Grant, the farm has since expanded to include a chicken coop, pig pen, and multiple barns, including the historic Cheshire Barn built in 1750.
The farm's vegetable garden serves as an educational tool for visitors, teaching them about organic gardening and where their food comes from. Educational programs for school children and summer camps utilize the garden as a hands-on learning experience. The farm also boasts a maple sugar house, where visitors can witness the process of making pure Connecticut maple syrup during the sugaring season.
With over 300 maple trees tapped on site, Heckscher Farm produces over 60 gallons of maple syrup each season. Visitors can purchase this delicious syrup during their visit, along with other farm-fresh products. Whether you're interested in learning about farm life, enjoying the peaceful surroundings, or simply picking up some locally made maple syrup, Heckscher Farm is a must-visit destination in Stamford.

"Excellent petting farm - very friendly animals, make sure to check out the exotic animal room, and the nature playground for a huge slide. Ducks and gees roam arouns free. Not a free place but well worth $44 for 4."
