01What it does

What West Colebrook Farm Company does

Program

  1. West Colebrook Farm is a 50 acre farm owned and operated by the nonprofit West Colebrook Farm Company in Colebrook, Connecticut in Litchfield County (the Farm), founded in 2018 in order to preserve an historic 18th century farm, to foster interest in farming and other traditional agricultural activities such as milling, and to make locally produced farm products available to the town and nearby community. The Farm is one of Colebrooks oldest 18th century colonial properties, settled by Revolutionary War veteran Lieutenant John Phelps and his wife Betsy Phelps in 1781, and developed by his sons Charles and Ralzemon Phelps and their descendants into an over 500 acre property including livestock and pastures, hay fields, saw mill, ice pond and quarry. The Phelps were generous benefactors of the town of Colebrook, including donating flowers to the church and stone from their quarry to build the gates to the Colebrook Center Cemetery, where Charles and Ralzemon and their families rest.Today

Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.

1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

From the IRS filings of West Colebrook Farm Company’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

Where its funders are

100% of West Colebrook Farm Company's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $440k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
