Connecticut Grown Expands to Forestry Products

The Connecticut Departments of Environmental Protection and Agriculture announced an expansion of the “Connecticut Grown” program on December 29, 2010. Goods such as furniture, flooring, lumber, and fencing made from wood harvested in Connecticut forests will now bear the popular "Connecticut Grown" marketing label. The Connecticut Grown program was developed in 1986, when the logo was created to identify agricultural products grown in the state. Over the past two decades, a strong marketing and outreach effort has established Connecticut Grown as a well-known and popular program.
