About
KDCROP FARMS is a woman owned, family run farm in the heart of Chaplin, CT in the Last Green Valley by Kelly Caisse. We offer a homegrown flavor to each jar of jam, pickles, relish, chutney, and salsa because we grow our own vegetables and fruits from start to finish. We use organic techniques to farm and create a low carbon footprint due to our dedicated use of hand tools, therefore making our products all the more tastier and safer to eat! Every jar is expertly made at CLiCK (Cooperative Certified Kitchen in Windham, CT. We have been farming and selling our products at farmers markets and shops since 2006.
