Our Story
Broad Brook Acres was founded by Michael and Christian Swanson in 2014 in beautiful Preston, CT. Mike was a lifelong resident of Montville, CT, a Marine Veteran, and a full-time firefighter. He attended Johnson and Wales before enlisting in the Marine Corps.. Christian is a transplant from New Hampshire after she attended the University of CT , Storrs for Animal Science. Mike and Christian had a common dream of running their own farm to feed their family with quality food. The dream came to fruition when they purchased their farm in July 2014. They started with a few sheep and some feeder pigs and has quickly grown exponentially. The movement for buying local and finding quality food that did not stem from factory farming has been a driving force in the growth of Broad Brook Acres.
In 2015, Mike and Christian welcomed a new little farmer, Connor and in 2018 another little farmer, Corbin. They are the future of Broad Brook Acres and can be found working hard on the farm with mom and dad! |
