New Pond Farm

New Pond Farm raises Lakenvelder (Dutch belted) cattle on its 102-acre property in West Redding, Connecticut, roughly an hour north of New York City. The farm is an environmental education center and working farm whose mission centers on conservation and sustainable farming practices, and the Lakenvelder herd is part of that living-farm experience.

The property was founded in 1975 by actress Carmen Mathews, who opened her land to serve children and the broader community. Those roots in stewardship and land-based education continue to shape how the farm is managed today, with rolling pastures and a range of natural landscapes providing the setting for its cattle program.

Those searching for Lakenvelder (Dutch belted) cattle in Connecticut will find that New Pond Farm brings an uncommon context to this rare breed, keeping the animals as an integral part of a working, mission-driven farm rather than a conventional breeding operation.
