Dina and The Hickories

Dina Brewster is the Executive Director of the Northeast Organic Farming Association of Connecticut and the founder of The Hickories organic farm in Ridgefield.


Dina started out teaching poetry in Brooklyn but came back to the farm where she was raised to take over from her father as the third generation farmer on this 100 acre Ridgefield farm..


Dina is a leader in several Connecticut farming organizations.  At The Hickories she raises certified organic fruit, vegetables, livestock, cut-flowers and seeds.



Two decades ago, The Hickories wisely sold development rights to the Town of Ridgefield so that the property will forever remain committed to agriculture.
