Lockwood Farm, which was purchased in 1910, is named after William Raymond Lockwood, a Norwalk resident who willed his estate to The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station “to use and apply all the balance or net income in the promotion of agriculture by scientific investigation and experiment, and by diffusing a knowledge of the practical results thereof…”

The original farm was 19.6 acres and since then adjacent lands were purchased enlarging the property to 75 acres. Its official mission is to develop, advance and disseminate scientific knowledge, improve agricultural productivity and environmental quality and protect plants. All produce grown on the farm is donated to the CT Food Bank.
