Hunt Hill Farm, Historic farm property in New Milford, United States

Hunt Hill Farm is a 137-acre (55 ha) property at the junction of Upland and Crossman Roads, about 4 miles north of New Milford Center, on uplands east of the East Aspetuck River. Its open fields and woodland surround three houses built roughly between 1760 and 1836, plus barns, stables and outbuildings. A pair of circular silos stands by the road junction in front of one barn.

Farming operations started here in 1737 when Daniel Hine established the property, with the oldest surviving house built around 1760. This early settlement made it significant in the area's development and land use patterns.

The farmstead now houses The Silo at Hunt Hill Farm, an arts and culinary organization. The Hendersons, who bought the Hine farm in 1968 and the Buckingham farm in 1972, adapted the combined property to this use as a culinary school and arts center.

The property operates under conservation rules designed to protect the land while welcoming visitors for educational and recreational activities. It helps to check ahead about current programs and what areas may be accessed during your visit.

The farm's name honours the Hine and Buckingham families, who worked these adjacent parcels separately for generations. Daniel Hine settled here in 1737, and the Buckinghams farmed next door from 1775; their land stayed in the family until 1972, while the Hine farm was sold out of the family in 1908. The Hendersons bought the Hine parcel in 1968 and the Buckingham one in 1972, then combined them.
