Jovial's Organic Farming Project in Connecticut

Exactly four years ago, we purchased the historic John Randall homestead in North Stonington, CT. We’ve built our headquarters on the property, and are now working toward restoring the historic buildings for future events. With all things jovial, farming comes first though! We’re excited to share a look at our first asparagus and strawberry planting. Hard work and big dreams will bring us closer to all of you! jovialfoods.com/randall-update/

This is fantastic! Now that you are in the US it will be so much easier to visit. What an inspiration you are...perhaps in the not to distant future, it will start to be more common for the masses to eat healthy good food than the junk that is now so commonplace! Thank you!

[@JovialFoodsInc]

Thank you for your kind words. We hope you will visit when we are open for visitors in the near future. All the best to you!

Connecticut is a great place if you find the right spot.

You have inspired me to live an entirely new life. Thank you

I love this thank you so much for documenting. I literally just purchased my first Jovial pasta today at Kroger...in Atlanta, GA.. And found your KZbin channel. I'm becoming more health conscious and I appreciate your company being so transparent. I want to learn more about farming too. ❤️

Thank you for sharing planting day with us! I hope to one day attend one of your courses! I adore your Einkorn, just got another shipment yesterday.

I buy your gluten free pasta! Love, love, love! ❤️❤️ I didn’t realize you are right here in CT. Can’t wait to visit.

Beautiful land!

Thanks!

I cannot wait! Tuscany just isn’t an option for us right now with all we have going on, but my husband said he would be okay with me attending a Connecticut getaway even if he can’t make it! Looking forward to hearing more!!

Great, can't wait to cook with you in Connecticut!

[@lemaywellness]

I can't wait to visit :)

[@JovialFoodsInc]

We'll be counting on that!

[@sashanarlie2832]

Congratulations! I’m definitely looking forward to visiting in the future. I love your flour and just started baking sourdough bread at home for my family and your instructional videos have been awesome!

Exciting!

[@JovialFoodsInc]

Yes, very!

So sad that Carla didn’t live to see her entire dream come true. Are there plans to continue with her plans in Connecticut with the restaurant and cooking school?

[@JovialFoodsInc]

Right now, cooking school plans are on hold. We are committed to restoring the John Randall Homestead but her family is reassessing the scope of the project.

[@debbiesowell3942]

@@JovialFoodsInc I see. Thank you very much for responding. Do you put out a newsletter with updates on the company, news of the family, and so on? We are interested in the goings on even though sadly Carla is no longer with us.

[@patricelopatin]

Will you grow Einkorn there?

[@JovialFoodsInc]

Probably not enough acreage for that, but we will be growing food for our inn and restaurant!

[@lorenaferrarimeza8801]

How did the asparagus turn out?

[@JovialFoodsInc]

It looks great but we don't harvest the first year so that the roots can get nice and deep and well established (okay, maybe we ate a few! ).
