Howland Homestead Farm

Howland Homestead Farm, run by Phil Lang in South Kent, Connecticut, focuses on Randall lineback cattle — one of North America's rarest heritage breeds. The farm sits in Connecticut's Litchfield Hills, about 15 miles from the town of Kent, in a region with a deep agricultural tradition along the Housatonic River Valley.

The operation describes itself as a small, organically managed subsistence-type farm with a clear commitment to rare livestock conservation. Alongside the Randall lineback herd, the farm also raises Tamworth pigs and heritage breed chickens. Lang has been deeply involved in the Randall lineback community beyond his own pastures: in 2001, he co-founded a breed registry alongside Cynthia Creech, helping formalize preservation efforts for the cattle on a national level. Breeding stock from the herd is made available periodically, making the farm a resource for others seeking to establish or expand their own Randall lineback cattle programs in Connecticut and the broader Northeast.
