Dinniman’s Farm on Ansonia Road, MacFarlane’s and Trumbley’s on Race Brook and the Old Ford Farm on Amity Road are a few of the larger and more well known places that have already been “developed” or are in the process, which illustrates the trend from farming to residential living.

(The preceding article does not, of course, pretend to cover all of the farms in Woodbridge. The STAR, in an attempt to make a survey of farms in both Woodbridge and Bethany, presents below the first of a series of supplementary articles, more of which will appear at an early date. Ed.)
One of the few real farms left in the Woodbridge area is the Luciani farm, now owned by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Storlazzi. On this property of about 17 acres are a large house, a small house, a two-story cicken house and several other buildings. The main house was built by Mr. Luciani in 1913. Mr. and Mrs. Luciani lived there for a number of years, and Mr. Luciani carved his name and the date 1913 in the well which he dug by hand. The Henkens lived on the property at a later date, and in 1946 the farm was sold to the Storlazzis.
The Storlazzi family now includes William and Charles Griffith, Giacinta and Johanna Maynadier Storlazzi. Mr. Storlazzi has renovated the barns and out buildings to a capacity of 6,000 chickens, which he sells as broilers and fryers. However, since they are a real farm family, smaller buildings on the place have housed, at various times, geese, ducks, Bantam hens, dogs, cats, and rabbits. The farm now boasts a bull calf and a swimming pond and some kind of domestic animal in each available shselter.
