David and Martha Hein Agriculture Scholarship

Continuing the Legacy of Agriculture in Farmington, CT

  

Farmington, CT has long been an agricultural town and the Hein family has been part of that for the last 200 years.  In 2019 David Hein was injured and has been unable to continue farming.  The farming torch was passed to Jennifer Villa, owner of Farmington Farm Truck in October of 2020.  Jennifer now owns the farm and continues to grow on this historic piece of agricultural land.  Jennifer  wanted to recognize David Hein, his wife Martha and the Hein family for their agricultural contributions and their farming legacy. 

 

$1,000 was awarded in June of 2021 to Samantha Erickson.  Samantha is a Farmington High School going to a university focusing on environmental science and specifically cleaner water and soils.  "Although I can't predict where I'll be in 10 years, this is what I see:  I'm working in the farm fields, standing in streams, digging in the soil and conducting research - doing whatever I can to make sure these resources are available and healthy for everyone."  Samantha Erickson 


The scholarship will be awarded annually to a Farmington High School senior.
