About Henny Penny Farm
Our Mission
Our farm is committed to protecting the environment by working in harmony with Nature’s rhythms, to raise nurtured, happy animals, to teach your children about food and to feed your families the healthiest, most nutrient-dense food possible.
Welcome to Henny Penny Farm! I’m Whitney, and that is my husband Ron and our daughter Penny in the photo. For nearly 15 years we have practiced Regenerative Farming and in 2025 we achieved Tier 3 Certified Regenified Status.
Certification means:
- our regenerative farming practices are inspected, thoroughly recorded and reported
- Regenerative farming focuses on soil health as the foundation for all life and climate resilience
- our animals must be raised on pasture
- our soils are rigorously tested for 65 data points to analyze their resilience and biological health.
All of this translates to food that is more nutritious, more delicious and makes a measurable positive impact on the environment.
Our customers tell us they feel better consuming lamb, chicken (pasture-raised, organic-fed), pork and Thanksgiving Turkey knowing it has come from our farm. The taste is unsurpassed and they can rest assured the animals have enjoyed attentive and loving care throughout their lives.
We apply this same thoughtfulness to our education programs for children and adults. We continue to offer hands-on training for interns and volunteer opportunities to give participants transferable skill sets and a greater depth of knowledge for becoming more involved in the food community, preparing for a career in farming or learning to advocate for responsible farming whether in personal food choices or on the national scale and more.
You can purchase our products online (with options for on-farm pickup or shipping), local farmer’s markets (Ridgefield, New Canaan and Westport in CT and Larchmont in NY) and fiber festivals (CT and VT Sheep and Wool Festivals).
