At Artza Mendi Farm, we believe that our human health is tied to the soil beneath our feet and the water falling from the sky. And everything that lives on our farm ultimately owes its existence to the soil, water and sun so we do all we can to care for the good health of our ecosystems. On the farm, you will find chickens, goats, sheep and pigs mulling about on pasture or in the forest benefitting from the natural environment. Using regenerative practices such as rotational grazing and no-till soil management, we aspire to leave the farm a better place for its future stewards and animal residents.

 

Artza Mendi Farm sprung up from the soil of a former dairy farm in Baltic, a small village in Sprague, Connecticut. Since that time the farm has been committed to regenerative agriculture, producing delicious eggs with pasture-raised hens.

 

Artza Mendi Farm was brought to life in 2023 by Murray Gates, a Navy veteran and agricultural business advisor for the Connecticut Small Business Development Center. On an 83-acre property in Baltic, Murray has started his farm operation with 500 chickens and is committed to regenerative agriculture and serving his community.
