Back To Basics

Back to Basics was founded in 1980 by Dave and Sandy Ciffone, for the sole purpose of bringing feed and farm amenities to the residents of Terrryville and its surrounding towns. Dave and Sandy ran the business until selling it in 1997 to Chris Wald. Chris substantially grew the grain business throughout the Litchfield hills, by offering grain delivery.

In 2007, Chris Wald sold the business to Dave and Andrea Perugini. Dave and Andrea had previously supplied the store with nursery stock, from their wholesale greenhouse operation. They believed that purchasing a Main Street location would be a handsome addition for selling farm and nursery products. They additionally built a 5,000 square foot greenhouse which helped to grow their farm and retail business. Current offerings include: vegetable and herb plants, berry plants, annuals (including hanging baskets and bedding plants), and perennials.
