Killingly, Connecticut is one of 35 Towns
located in the Last Green Valley (QuinebaugShetucket River Valleys National Heritage
Corridor) and one of the first to participate in
the Corridor’s founding. Although better known
historically as “Curtain Town USA” and for its mill
heritage, Killingly is also home to many successful
and growing agricultural businesses. Perhaps best
known are the Northeast CT Farmers Market,
Palazzi Orchard and Logee’s Greenhouses,
celebrating its 120th anniversary in 2012. Killingly
will continue its commitment to supporting
and encouraging agriculture in all forms in
appreciation of the jobs created, the locally grown
fresh food and products, and maintenance of the
rural landscape. Come and enjoy what Killingly’s
farmers have to offer!
The AGvocate Program is a program
of Eastern CT Resource Conservation and
Development Area, Inc. It began in 2009
to provide a forum for municipal officials,
agricultural producers, and other stakeholders
to strengthen the farm-friendliness of eastern
Connecticut towns. More information
about the AGvocate Program is available
at AgInfoTLGV.org/AGvocate, or by
contacting [email protected]. Funding
for this brochure was made possible from
the AGvocate Program, The Connecticut
Environmental Review Team, and the Last
