Our Story
Local Family Farm
In 1930 the Wasl and Anna Yasny family moved from their farm on Enders Road to Case St. The family lived off of the land and sold excess milk to the Canton Creamery. As the years went on the family sold the cows and stopped farming. For decades friends and neighbors continued to cut the fields for hay. In 2017 after having difficulty finding farms to cut the hay, Chris the great grandson of Wasl and Anna bought hay equipment and began cutting hay again.
The farm has now grown and now offers hay, eggs, beef, maple syrup and field mowing services. With about 40 acres of hay fields and growing, hay production has increased every year. Small squares and large round bales are now available!
What is Poppotonuck?
According to Indian Place Names of New England by John C. Huden, Poppotonuck is a word given to us by the Tunxis tribe. The word was given to a mountain ridge which separates the modern towns of Hartland and Granby. The translations given for the name is "bounded by the mountains" or "at the double mountains". The farm was named Poppotonuck out of respect of the past community, its history, and to extend the name of this mountain into the modern era.
