Jennifer and John Halfinger have shared in a family tradition of planting daffodil bulbs around their home for the last 22 years.
Now, the longtime farmers who have grown everything from pumpkins to strawberries and flowers and greenhouse plants are hoping to start a new springtime tradition, one that will bring people from far and wide to their Higganum farm.
In 2017, the couple bought the former Winmar Farm, a 12-acre property on Jacoby Road that’s been long dormant and quite overgrown, just a few miles down the road from their main operation, Halfinger Farms on Candlewood Hill Road. After spending two years clearing the land, they planted 8,000 daffodil bulbs in fall 2019, opening to the public the following spring.
