Big White Barn Hosts First Public Event!
Oktoberfest
After 20 years of hard work by hundreds of volunteers, Hilltop Farm received its Certificate of Occupancy to open for public events.

Who We Are
Hilltop Farm was built by Indian Motorcycle co-founder, George Hendee, starting in 1913, as a gentleman’s retirement farm.
Today, The Friends of the Farm at Hilltop (FOFAH), our nonprofit, owns 11 acres where the “Big White Barn”, outbuildings and former Stroh house sit. We lease 60 adjacent, conservation acres from the Town of Suffield through a long term agreement.
We’ve been renovating the buildings and maintaining the property since 2003.
Our mission is to:
-
Maintain a fun, recreational destination for your entire family to enjoy
-
Bring this historic farm back to life with crops, animals, conservation areas and hands-on learning opportunities
