Cecarelli’s Harrison Hill Farm, Other CT Farms Call For Support At State And Federal Level
William DellaCamera, who owns Cecarelli’s Harrison Hill Farm in Northford, never wanted to spend nearly two weeks on the road rallying people to fight for better state and federal support for farmers. He would much rather be on his farm, growing fresh produce such as tomatoes and corn and providing for those in his community and beyond.
Yet there DellaCamera was on Wednesday, September 11, pulling into Castle Hill Farm in his tractor with a large trailer attached to it. He wanted to speak with the farm’s owners Diana and Steve Paproski about their experience as farmers and see if they felt just as frustrated from the lack of support.
“I’ve been to 50 farms in the past week, and every one of us has the same sentiment, the same problem, towards the United States Department of Agriculture and the Connecticut Department of Agriculture,” DellaCamera told The Newtown Bee during his stop at Castle Hill Farm.
