Drafty Pines Farm was established in December 2005 as a Christmas Tree farm. The land was already host to 2.5 acres of ready-to-cut pine trees and about 200 seedlings. Those seedlings will be ready to cut and use as Christmas Trees in 3-4 years. The existing older trees will be available for sale the weekend following Thanksgiving. Many trees are too large for the home, but if you enjoy crafts, the branches can be used to make beautiful wreaths, swags or sprays.

Drafty Pines Farm is situated on 5.5 acres in historic Central Village, CT. Our neighbors are the Central Cycle Club (for those motor cross enthusiasts), and the Quinebaug Valley Trout Hatchery (for those who love fishing). The Hatchery is surrounded by nearly 2000 acres of State owned land available for nature walks and horse back riding. We have a 4 stall barn, a run-in shelter, and a 60’ round pen to teach lessons in.

Emily has worked with children and young adults for the past 10 years. Her energy and enthusiasm are often noted by her riders and their parents as she makes learning fun in a casual, family environment. She believes every student learns at their own pace and allows them the freedom to do so. She and Daniel have 2 young daughters, Madison and Natalie who are already learning the ropes and enjoy playtime with the horses.
