DELUCA FAMILY FARM

My name is Nick DeLuca and I am the owner and operator of DeLuca Family Farm LLC.  My professional journey began in 2009 when I became a high school science teacher in Hartford, CT. In addition to starting out in education, I was also able to start my coaching career. Over the years, I developed a passion for both teaching, and coaching baseball and volleyball. After being in Hartford for several years I was fortunate to get an opportunity to teach and coach at East Hartford High School, where I currently work. 

 

Being someone who likes to stay busy, and having summers off from teaching, I decided to work on my father’s farm in Watertown. During these summers, I learned the farming business and discovered a new passion, farming. I worked, learned from my father, and eventually met another mentor in Jim Futtner of Futtner’s Family Farm, LCC.  At this point I started DeLuca Family Farm

 

Since the start of my business, my passion for education and community involvement has grown. I have three simple goals. First, I am dedicated to providing local families, restaurants and grocers with the highest quality produce. Second, I strive to provide the type of customer service that all families and businesses deserve. And finally, I am committed to running my business with family, friends and former students.
