New Pond Farm

New Pond Farm raises Jersey cattle on its 102-acre property in West Redding, Connecticut, situated in Fairfield County roughly 60 miles from New Haven. Founded in 1985 by actress and philanthropist Carmen Mathews, the farm operates as an environmental education center and working farm, with its Jersey herd serving as a living part of that mission.

The farm's Jersey cattle are honey-brown in color and individually named, with the current herd including Krispie, Pearl, Pumpkin, Kreme, Kirby, and Pluto. The property encompasses woodlands, wetlands, meadows, and rolling pastures, giving the animals access to varied terrain across the protected acreage. Those looking for Jersey cattle in Connecticut will find that the herd here is maintained as part of a broader commitment to sustainable farming and land stewardship rather than as a commercial breeding operation in the conventional sense.

A dairy annex on the grounds keeps extended daily hours, and milk and dairy products produced at New Pond Farm are pasteurized and processed on-site under a state dairy license. The Jersey herd's role within the farm reflects the organization's long-standing focus on connecting people to working agricultural systems and demonstrating responsible animal husbandry in a hands-on setting.
