The pride of Suffield Connecticut since 1913
Blending Historical Significance With A Rich Natural Environment
Hilltop Farm was built by Indian Motorcycle co-founder, George Hendee, starting in 1913, as a gentleman’s retirement farm. Construction of Hendee’s signature dairy barn, a landmark in Suffield and “one of the finest in the state,” was completed in 1914.
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.
The Friends of the Farm at Hilltop formed in 2002 to save George Hendee’s 20,000-square-foot dairy barn from sale and possible demolition. We quickly realized the potential for the entire farm to become a valuable resource to help connect people to the land. All The Friends are volunteers. As a non-profit group with no paid staff, we rely on volunteers for everything we do.
Maintain a fun, recreational destination for your entire family to enjoy and bring this historic farm back to life with crops, animals, conservation areas and hands-on learning opportunities
