Gazy Brothers Farm is going on its fourth generation of farming. Established in 1918, Grandma and
Grandpa gazsi purchased their farm in oxford. At that time, they raised the freshest vegetables sold
at local grocery stores and delis in the Naugatuck Valley Area. The Gazsi cousins owned a butcher
shop and would sell Grandma Gazsi's homeade pickles and sauerkraut from the cucumbers and
cabbage raised on the farm.
Today, Ed Gazy runs the 80 acre farm with the help of his wife, Alexis, his brothers, Pete and Tony,
and his four children, Dominic, Roseanne, Nicholas, and Albert. Neighbors tend to give a helping
hand during the busy hay season, too. Ed's father, Joe, owns the farm and runs the small stand at
the farm.
The Gazys currently produce approximately 25 acres of vegetables, herbs, flowers, and plants on
the farm and on neighboring properties. Ed and the family also keep busy by working up to 200
acres of hay each year. Besides the farm stand, the Gazys sell our produce at a roadside stand on
Route 67 in Oxford, several farmer's markets, and a few grocery stores when extra produce is
available. Our latest project is a CSA, which stands for Community Supported Agriculture.
Our produce is not organic, however, it is raised with an integrated pest management program,
which reduces the amount of pesticides, fertilizers, and other chemicals to ensure healthy plants
and flavorful produce.
