I’d like to reintroduce myself . My name is Lynn Griffiths, and my family and I own Southwind Acres in Thompson.
This started as a passion to show my sons the many things I learned growing up on a farm, but my parents are no longer around to teach them. My dad had chemical sensitivities, and my parents owned Kenbar Acres in Killingly, a health food store in the middle of a working farm, with all the fresh organic goodies, and they also operated as a wholesale business, supplying the other health food stores in New England. It all started so my dad could get access to things the way he needed them, without chemical additives. My sons therefore learned how gardens grow, organically, and how to can harvested items. They also learned how to make homemade w**e, and while I can’t sell you that, I can send you a recipe, and sometimes provide you with the fruit to make it.
We don’t do everything my parents did, it’s a much smaller subset. But we do grow many things here in Thompson organically, and use them to make a variety of things including jams and jellies. We think it’s important for people to have access to locally grown organic items, made into jams and jellies at the peak of ripeness, with organic sugar and organic spices where applicable.
We also offer multicolored eggs, from hens which are fed an amazing diet, including lots of organic herbs, and fresh goodies from the many things we make in the kitchen. Healthy happy chickens make the most amazing nutritious eggs for your diet, and we often have a waiting list for them. We also offer white leghorn and cream legbar hatching eggs (blue autosexing).
We offer mostly heirloom plants in the spring and some into the summer months. 19 varieties of heirloom tomatoes, some squash, cucumbers, peppers, a few herbs, golden raspberries bushes, etc. we have a variety of houseplants available year round, aloe Vera, spider plants, often we have other things available.
We offer some vegetables in the summer and fall, as available.
We offer some items baked to order during the year, mostly for the fall and winter holidays.
We don’t grow everything here we use to make our jams and jellies, the apples and nectarines we use are from Lapsley orchard, the organic blueberries we use are from windsong farm, and there are a few other exceptions.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. We have many things available right now, and we’ll keep updating this page with things as they become available. We plan pick ups for people by appointment. We don’t have a farm stand or the staff to operate it, but it’s easy enough to pick up here as I hope some of our current customers can attest to.
If you don’t already follow our page, please do. Thank you for making it all the way to the end of this long post!
