Historic Tradition of Agricultural Excellence
For over 160 years, the Jones family has been working the lands on their farm in Shelton, Connecticut. Today this 500-acre farm offers one of the finest harvest-your-own picking experiences due to the high quality crops and the knowledgeable, friendly farmers and staff. Generation after generation of farm guests visit the farm each year, not only to savor the unbelievable flavor of our delicious strawberries or to find the perfect Christmas tree, but to enjoy time with their family while experiencing the rustic beauty of our farm.
Jones Family Farms, nestled in the White Hills of Shelton, with its 19th century dairy barn and homestead farmhouse, offers a peaceful setting in the heart of a working farm. 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.
Each generation of the Jones family has left their positive impact on the farm. Growing up on a dairy farm, fourth generation Philip Jones and his wife Elisabeth started the Christmas tree farm in the 1940s. His son Terry, fifth generation, and his wife Jean added the wonderful strawberries and blueberries in the 1960s and the pumpkin farm in the 1980s. Sixth generation Jamie and his wife Christiana started the winery in 2004. One wonders what the seventh generation might bring to the farm.
