The Farmer’s Cow Calfé Reopens in Mansfield to Overwhelming Community Support and Excitement

Norwich, CT – August 1, 2025 – The Farmer’s Cow Calfé, a beloved local gem on Storrs Road in Mansfield, has reopened its doors after a two-month recovery from a devastating flooding incident, and the community response has been nothing short of extraordinary. In a recent radio interview with Michelle Garabedian, President/CEO of the Windham Region Chamber of Commerce, and Steven Lane, President of FC Development Corp., the spotlight was on the Calfé’s triumphant relaunch, revitalized menu, the team, and their unwavering commitment to its mission of community and family-based farming.

Garabedian shared her enthusiasm, noting, “I had, for the first time ever in my life, eaten a (liege) waffle—the Waffle & Honey-Drizzled Chicken—at the newly renovated Calfé, and I couldn’t believe how good it was!” She highlighted the community’s renewed excitement, stating, “Many of us viewed the Calfé as primarily an ‘ice cream’ place, but the new, comprehensive menu featuring farm-fresh breakfasts, special coffees, sandwiches, soups, and sides has truly impressed us. It’s a locally appreciated experience, and we still love the ice cream!”

The relaunch has sparked a wave of optimism, with community members flocking to the Calfé to experience its revitalized offerings. The menu, rooted in high-quality, house-made, and locally sourced ingredients, showcases The Farmer’s Cow’s dedication to supporting family farms, the local community, and the economy. Beyond the food, The Farmer’s Cow’s broader mission—focused on farmland protection, clean energy, and pollution mitigation—sets a new standard in the industry, clearly differentiating it from traditional Big Agriculture.

Steven Lane echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the company’s vision for a viable future for family farms. “We’ve come back from the flooding with a vengeance,” Lane stated, underscoring the team’s resilience and commitment to delivering exceptional offerings while advancing community-focused initiatives and sharing the farmers’ story with the public.

The overwhelmingly positive public response signals a bright future for The Farmer’s Cow Calfé and the brand as it continues to lead by example, blending culinary excellence with a mission-driven approach to farming and community engagement.
