Fairvue Farms is proud to be one of six dairy farms to contribute to Connecticut's own brand of natural, fresh milk. You may have already noticed the friendly gaze of a pretty cow on the front of a half gallon of The Farmer's Cow milk, a brand of milk appearing at most grocery store shelves around Connecticut.

The Fairvue Farms onsite self-service store closed in 2018. However, many local grocery stores carry Farmer's Cow products!

Over the past thirty years, it has become harder and harder for dairy farmers to stay in business here in Connecticut. Thirty years ago, Connecticut had 481 dairy farms. Twenty years ago, we had 289. As of 2015, there are about 140 working dairy farms in Connecticut.

In an attempt to compete with the massive dairy farms out west which produce by far the bulk of milk available in this country, six local dairy farms, including Fairvue, got together and decided to create their own brand of milk--and The Farmers Cow was born. 

Every year, on the third Wednesday in March, from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m., Ag Day at the Capitol is held in the North Lobby and Hall of Flags at the State Capitol building in Hartford CT.

Over 50 organizations and state and federal agencies from across Connecticut, celebrate agriculture in Connecticut. 

The various exhibits show the diverse aspects of agriculture from across the state. Additionally, awards are given to a number of the outstanding farmers in the state.
